Last Saturday evening could have been a major television event, but it was not because Stefan Raab During his nine years of sabbatical, he had forgotten his own art.

This, well, show, the RTL a few days ago under the title The final battle What he sent out over three endless hours could basically have been a tweet on X or an Insta post: “From September 18th, Stefan Raab will be doing a regular TV show again, this time for RTL+, and will be celebrated and beaten up a bit beforehand. Basically, that was the only insight from the final battle, and that's a bit. The evening would have been more if Raab had simply not shown up. Then he had virtually thumbed his nose at everyone in the hall, in front of the TV, in the executive suite at RTL, and thus delivered the biggest and longest April Fool's joke of all time after all the comeback announcements. It would have been an action in the spirit of the great American gag revolutionary Andy Kaufman. But unfortunately Stefan Raab has never been particularly well-versed in the history of humor.
