Why this matters:: This episode highlights the show's appeal in blending celebrity guests, humour, and challenging trivia, offering viewers an entertaining quiz format featuring well-known personalities from the German comedy scene.
Hannes Ringlstetter brought a diverse background to the quiz table. Raised in Straubing, he studied German and History while fronting the band 'Schinderhannes'. His television career began at TVA before he gained prominence in theatre, notably at the Münchner Lustspielhaus. He continues to tour with solo cabaret programs and his current band, 'Ringlstetter'. His appearance comes as he concludes his own BR late-night show after eight years.
Claus von Wagner, originally from Miesbach, studied Communication Sciences in Munich, focusing his master's thesis on German cabaret. After performing with the 'Erstes Deutsches Zwangsensemble' for a decade, he gained widespread recognition through his involvement with ZDF's 'heute Show' (since 2012) and as co-host of 'Die Anstalt' (since 2014).
The episode kicked off with a tricky question for Claus von Wagner and Elton regarding the validity of votes cast using a ballot from a different constituency during the Bundestagswahl (German federal election). Von Wagner initially expressed concern about potentially embarrassing himself as a cabaret artist on such a topic. While Elton jokingly wished him 'good luck,' they collaborated on the answer but ultimately chose incorrectly (the correct answer was A: only the first vote is valid).
