Esther Sedlaczek: Shortly after “The Big Mouse Show” there is certainty

On Saturday evening (31 August), ARD once again relied entirely on a quiz show. “The Big Mouse Show” once again had people guessing and getting excited.

At exactly 8:15 p.m., presenter Esther Sedlaczek welcomed the audience and started the evening together with her celebrity guests. But could the format really prevail against the competition?

That evening, the celebrities played in teams of three for 25,000 euros for a good cause. And that seems to have excited some people. As the industry magazine DWDL reports, a total of 2.52 million viewers tuned in to ARD during prime time. Despite the strong numbers, there was also a disappointment for Esther Sedlaczek and her team.

The bad news this evening: With 2.52 million viewers, the show reached fewer people than ever before. This could be due to the summer temperatures on Saturday evening or to the strong competition.

The primetime victory went to ZDF with the film “In Wahrheit – Zwischen Recht und Justiz”, which was watched by a total of 4.16 million people. Unfortunately, Esther Sedlaczek and ARD could not keep up with that this evening.
