96. Staff Interview 19: This is how Jan Böhmermann really feels about ZDF!

The first staff review meeting of 2023 is coming up, and Ms. Dings has come up with some great ideas to improve the working atmosphere in the future. But the only thing on Jan's mind is White Lotus. And unlike his colleagues Markus Lanz and Horst Lichter, he has mixed feelings about ZDF.

2023-02-15 • 7 min

97. Who said it? Now more than ever!

Like the entire ARD pre-evening program, it's time for a quiz. In the popular "Who Said It" section, our writers are allowed (or required) to answer questions about memes, trends, and quotes. Everything from P for pop culture to L for Lanz. Knowledge of English is assumed. In some subject areas, massive gaps in knowledge emerge... Anyone who gets it wrong more than three times has to ride through Ehrenfeld on a blind donkey.

98. ZDF Magazin Royale Audience Feedback – Nice Contact, never again!

Naturally, the opinion of our valued audience is important to us. Were all their wishes fulfilled? What was there to discuss? After each ZDF Magazin Royale broadcast, the studio audience can give their feedback: How did they like it? Was it fantastic? Superb? Or just brilliant? Was the warm-up hot enough? Did Jan's suit have a sufficiently high viscose content? Are there really as many rats in the studio toilets as everyone says? We want to know everything. After all, television is primarily work for the viewers.

102. Eggs of Steel KIDS - Paw Patrol: A Case for Youth Welfare

He's the most powerful 10-year-old in children's programming: Ryder, the leader of the PAW Patrol. No one else owns so many vehicles at once and has six puppies under his control. Above all, Ryder is ruthless when it comes to marketing his overbred puppies. There's no product that isn't adorned with his dogs' faces. A case for child welfare!

103. Who Said It? – The Original

After our breakfast prayer, we were in the mood for a little guessing and riddle fun. The concept is as simple as it is ingenious: Jan and various ZDF Magazin Royale authors unravel quotes from the world of stars, starlets, and memes. In addition to voice cracks and witch burnings, this issue also features interviews with athletes. By the end, you're probably asking yourself, "What was the reason?"

122. What's the State of Press Freedom? Interview with Günter Wallraff

When he heard that a rat had been seen in our canteen, Günter Wallraff immediately hopped on his bike and rode to the Ehrenfeld studio. Then, for the first time in many years, it was time for Jan to listen. As a longtime journalist, Wallraff has experienced numerous threats and lawsuits. The 81-year-old has won numerous awards for his investigative reporting and social commitment. A life dedicated to press freedom. In an interview with Jan, he spoke about his disputes with the Bild newspaper, the challenges of his career as an investigative journalist, and the most spectacular investigations of his career.

123. Staff Interview 24: Statement on the last Episode of “Wetten, dass..?”

The penultimate meeting with Ms. Dings. A recap of the past few weeks. And, of course, there's one topic that can't be avoided: "Wetten dass...?" Jan looks back on the Gottschalk era with mixed feelings. In this rather balanced staff meeting, Jan also provides some clarification about his "real" fandom.
