Der „TV total“-Erfinder Stefan Raab fing ursprünglich auch mal mit nur einer wöchentlichen Sendung an und baute sich dann ein ganzes Show-Imperium auf. Sein Nachfolger Sebastian Pufpaff bekommt zu seiner wochentäglichen erfolgreichen ProSieben-Show und den gelegentlichen Events jetzt zuerst einmal vier weitere Spezialausgaben am Samstagabend spendiert.
Los geht es am 31. August mit „TV total Xxl” mit Pufpaff in der Lancess-Arena in Köln um 20.15 Uhr auf ProSieben. Dazu gesellt sich an einem Samstagabend im Herbst das von Rtl zurückgeholte „TV total Turmspringen“ als Live-Event.

German TV presenter Stefan Raab is stepping back into the ring with the German boxing champion who broke his nose in a previous encounter 23 years ago.
Raab, a former talkshow host and creator of international format Beat the Stars, will face off against Regina Halmich in an inter-gender fight on German network Rtl, which has secured live rights to the celebrity exhibition rematch.
Dubbed ‘The Clark Final Fight’, the event will take place on September 14 at Düsseldorf’s Psd Bank Dome. Inga Leschek, who was recently promoted to Program Director at Rtl and Rtl+, said it would be a “spectacular moment in television history.”
In their first encounter in 2001, Halmich broke Raab’s nose, before a rematch in 2007 saw the professional boxer win again after delivering a punishing beating. This final encounter will be Raab’s final appearance in the ring and potentially his final TV outing.

The Free European Song Contest, which Brainpool will produce for German network ProSieben, will air live on Saturday, May 16. According to the company's promo line, the show will celebrate "passion, fun and a love for music."

Cologne, Germany -- A slimmed down, mainstream-friendly version of the German TV awards aired Sunday night to public protests from the local industry but the best ratings in years.
Nearly four million viewers tuned in to watch the awards, Germany's equivalent of the Emmys, on pubweb Ard. That's nearly triple last year's audience.
The show's organizers -- Germany's main channels Ard, Zdf, Rtl, Pro7 and Sat.1 -- made radical changes to this year's awards to broaden their appeal. They dumped award categories en masse -- supporting actors, editors, screenwriters and camera folk went home empty handed this year -- in order to create a fast-moving, all-highlights show.
Germany's behind-the-camera talent protested, as did Germany's actors union, but the viewers' vote was trump.
Protests aside, few could argue with this year's decisions. Ard's mafia drama "Face to Face with Crime" won for best mini-series as well for its 'extraordinary contribution' to fiction.

Cologne, Germany -- The cast of German mafia drama "Face to Face with Crime," the around-the-clock documentary "24 h Berlin" and German talkshow host Stefan Raab have won top honors at the German TV Awards, the local equivalent of the Emmys. The three winners were announced on Friday, ahead of the official awards ceremony Saturday evening.
All three won for their "extraordinary contribution" to German TV in, respectively, the genres of fiction, information and entertainment. The "extraordinary contribution" category is new and intended partially to appease critics who have complained the German TV awards have become too mainstream, rewarding not excellence but ratings.
Those critics will be howling over another trophy to be handed out at the German TV awards. Germany's national soccer team and its coach, Jogi Low will receive an honorary prize for their contribution to the "TV event of the year" -- the soccer World Cup.

Product placement traditionally has been shunned in Europe. Auteurs fear the taint of association with such crass commercialism, and on the small screen in-program advertising had been banned outright in most territories.
That changed in April with new EU regulations allowing product placement on European television. Producers and channels across the continent are now looking to cash in.
The reaction has been immediate. On the German game show "Beat Your Host," entertainer Stefan Raab kicked a soccer ball-sized M&M at his opponent. Alfa Romeo slipped one of its cars not-so-discreetly into an episode of TF1's "Les Touques," and Clear Channel placed virtual, changeable giant banners on the France 3 hit soap "Plus Belle la Vie."
Some of Europe's biggest firms, from Finnish cell-phone giant Nokia and Swedish furniture group Ikea to German carmaker BMW, now are slipping products into local sitcoms, series and shows.

Berlin -- Fast-growing French production house Banijay Entertainment has taken a 50% stake in German group Brainpool, the company behind hit format "Beat Your Host."
Brainpool owners Jorg Grabosch, Ralf Gunter, Andreas Scheuermann and Stefan Raab control the remaining 50% of the Cologne-based company, each holding a 12.5% stake.
Brainpool and Banijay have partnered before, most recently on a French version of "Beat Your Host," which a Banijay subsidiary produced for French network TF1.
The Brainpool buy is the latest in a shopping spree by Banijay that has seen the French group buy up Spain's Cuarzo Prods, Russian production house Intelegencia and French group Air Prods. Similar to Elizabeth Murdoch's Shine Group, Banijay and CEO Stephane Courbit are looking to establish a pan-national production network focusing on reality and light-entertainment formats.

"Cha Cha Cha." Not the famous rap song Mc Lyte brought to life in the 1980s, the "Cha, Cha, Cha."
Eminem appeared on the German program "TV Total" earlier this week, and not only gave an interview, but kicked a freestyle over a beat host Stefan Raab called "Cha, Cha, Cha," while Raab and the house band played along.
"Here I go, lyr-ree-cal/ I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm spir-rit-ual. ... I have no f---in' clue, what the f--- I'm doing," he reiterated in his rap before the talk show host sang.
Slim Shady also sat down for a interview, coming out in comical form, briefly wearing an anti-swine flu mask — and even began talking into the mic through it. He also learned several German swear words and heard about German rappers.

COLOGNE, Germany -- Zodiak Television Group has picked up the format rights to hit German entertainment show "Beat Your Host" for the U.K., Sweden and Finland from German sales group SevenOne International.
In "Beat Your Host", produced by Cologne-based Brainpool, a VIP television host competes against his own guests in a series of physical, mental and trivia challenges.
The challenges range from the demanding (pole vaulting) to the banal (spreading soft cheese on a sandwich). If the guest wins, they take home a cash prize. If they lose, the money goes into the pot for the next show.
Featuring local star Stefan Raab, "Beat Your Host" has been a huge hit in Germany, drawing close to 30% market share in the 14-49 demographic for commercial network ProSieben.
Zodiak will produce local versions of "Beat Your Host" through its local production companies -- Diverse Prods. in the U.K., MTV Mastiff in Sweden and T&T Broadcasters in Finland.
The deal comes just a week after ABC greenlighted a U.S.
