Well we all assumed it was over – without Stefan Raab, surely, surely there’s no show.
How wrong we were. We’re back!
Schlag den Star has been running as a Summer series for a few years now, with Raab involved in either host or “joker” capacity. It’s featured members of the public competing against German celebs, and more recently it featured two celebs battling it out against each other. These were all pre-recorded and rather than feature new games with the occasional exception they were games used in the previous year’s SdR.
But they’ve deciding to have a go at giving it the full on proper Schlag den Raab treatment. Two celebs will battle it out over fifteen games LIVE for €100,000, and our new host (ably assisted by Frank Buschmann on commentary) is the people’s favourite Elton! We’re hoping for lots of new game ideas that have made SdR worth tuning in for in the past. Whatsmore we have musical guests, tonight Fleur East off of The X Factor and winner of The Voice of Germany and Germany’s Eurovision contender Jamie Lee Kriewitz!
Who are the two gladiators competing tonight? It’s being billed as the Battle of the Giants, Olympic champion weightlifter Matthias Steiner takes on German acting legend Henning Baum. And we’ll hopefully be there every step of the way with commentary, gossip and whatever takes our fancy over the 4-5 hours of the broadcast. Do join us!
Here is the link to our Youtube Livestream.
This stream is commentary only. You will need to have a naughty stream running at the same time for the visuals. We are likely to be about 15-20 seconds behind the visual stream (and about a full minute behind if you’re watching an actual satellite feed), sorry.This is the stream we will be watching.

The bar has been up and down all afternoon, I’ll stick a holding page up if it falls over again this evening.
Tschüß!
Just because some might be surprise: The weightlifter has ended his career some years ago and slimmed down a lot. He really doesn’t look like an olympic weightlifter anymore and I had trouble recognising him the first time.
The Bar’s been up and down a lot this afternoon for some reason, I’ll stick a holding page up if it falls over again tonight.
That was a really entertaining evening, I hope it’s done well enough for an extended run.
The next one is on May 7th. See you then!
