A golden shower of confetti, a trellis standing. production team and great applause from the stands: Long waving Stefan Raab early Sunday morning in the cameras, to say goodbye after 20 years of television coverage and 16 years ProSieben with the 55th edition of “Schlag den Raab”
<. p> This time he laughs – on Wednesday it was his late-night talk show “TV Total” yet close to tears during last charge. “Make good’s, thank you very much, I hope you had a bit of fun,” says Raab, otherwise not embarrassed to Proverbs, very unfussy finally and rather dry.
For the finale has the “Raabinator” finally has devised a little surprise. He picks up the microphone and singing Whitney Houston’s hit “One Moment in Time”, which is otherwise always recorded for the victorious candidate, and a rock’n’roll deposit with Christmas reindeer antlers on her head.
Almost forget the pretty excruciatingly long, interrupted by several commercial breaks games where Raab this time not playing against a challenger, but against a total of 15 players from the studio audience. Five of them go with EUR 100 000 and a home, the 24-year-old Hendrik, even with one million euros. The jackpot had stood at 1.5 million euros.
Among the strongest moments of the farewell gala Raabs belongs urgent desire to sit again in the commentary booth, from which otherwise always sportscaster Frank Buschmann with pithy remarks about him makes fun. Raab rotates on Saturday the tables, sits down at the microphone and sends “Buschi” down on the stage – for canned shooting with a football. A treat for Raab: “He pumped like a beetle,” he sneers about Buschmann, which fails to make a hit. “Where you have the legs hooked wrong.” And: “At the end poops the duck.” The sports commentator is finished with the world and pleased that he then returned to the reporter space may return
About the reasons. his resignation has been silent in public so far Raab. Also on Saturday, he shows no willingness to betray the TV nation about his motives. He had often pleased with the candidates, but he had also suffered often says Raab. Otherwise he blurts out little Reflective
He acts in the grand finale a little looser than usual, yet it is at every game, whether it is estimated laps or karting competitions, totally with the matter. Again and again to listen, its quaint sounds like “Nnnng” or “Jiaaa”, which presumably will soon get to hear only his family, sailing enthusiasts or the Cologne neighbors.
With Raab is a busiest and most idiosyncratic entertainer in German television , Currently, there is no one in sight, with his ideas and his passion, the water can reach the multi-millionaire. Especially ProSieben must adapt to new conditions: Joko & amp; Klaas, Lena Gercke, Jeannine Michaelsen and Palina Rojinski should help to bridge the huge gap. . You can make forget Raab but not
Accordingly, said ProSieben CEO Wolfgang Link loud message from Sunday: “With” Schlag den Raab “Stefan Raab has created the best television show in Germany. ‘Schlag den Raab’ is unique -. As unique as Stefan Raab “An era was over
The station gave the last show 3.89 million viewers an above average audience after otherwise mostly just about. had been here two and a half million when Raab battled for hours. In the coveted private channel target group of 14- to 49-year-old Raab was final show with 29.8 percent market share in prime time far ahead of all other German TV channels.
