TONIGHT! We are offering a live commentary on Schlag den Star, the celebrity based spin-off of Schlag den Raab where a member of the public attempts to beat a celebrity across nine exciting games in order to take home €50,000.
Tonight! A member of the public will be taking on THE comedian Matze Knop. Stefan Raab will be on hand to act on the contestant’s behalf on one of the games if they wish, as a joker.
As ever we’ll be using this naughty stream to commentate from.
HERE IS THE LINK TO OUR LIVE COMMENTARY.
Unlike Schlag den Raab this is a pre-recorded show so will run to time, it’ll be done by 9:30pm UK time (10:30 local) so we won’t have to change stream at any point. We know our commentary is likely about 10 seconds behind that live feed and about a minute behind what you see on television, sorry.
The commentary team consists of me, Only Connect‘s David Bodycombe, television professional Daniel Peake, and Fifty 50 Show podcast host Lewis Murphy. JOIN THE CONVERSATION by commenting on our YouTube feed or tweeting us with #bbsdstar. We enjoy your company!
Television professional? You’re too kind!
*slips you a fiver*
You note that, by implication, he didn’t call *me* a television professional?
I assumed you’re freelance now.

Few notes for Schlag den Star. Some viewers should know the following but for those who don’t.
-When the press release was issued in 2009. Brainpool stated Schlag den Star is a re-import of the UK’s Beat the Star (http://www.brainpool.de/bpo/en/presse/pressemitteilungen/04249.html) It does explain the similar jackpot on offer (€50,000) and the “star” wearing red with the challenger in blue. If the star wins then it rolls over to the next show. As Brig states, there are nine games but there aren’t any music interludes since Schlag den Star is recorded and not broadcast live.
-The challenger can use Stefan Raab as a joker for any game. However, he cannot be used if it becomes a matchball situation.
-Where Schlag den Raab has Blamieren Oder Kassieren being used on every show. Schlag den Star has Quiz. There are five topics that Steven asks questions in a rotating sequence e.g. sport, politics, geography, science, entertainment. Against the buzzer, the person who answers a question correctly wins them a point on that category. First person to score three points in a category wins them that category. The winner is the first person to win three categories.
and for those who are wondering. No, Elton has yet to become the star on one of the shows.
According to this, Schlag den Star doesn’t appear to be weekly this year and the next is down as the 20th July so maybe you will be able to manage a full-strength commentary team after all!
