Gefragt – Gejagt Returns to New Episodes as Das Erste Prepares 1,000th‑Episode Jubilee

The long‑running ARD quiz remains a nightly anchor because on‑air gaffes, bold contestant choices and well‑known 'jäger' personalities keep viewers engaged.

Overview

  • The show has resumed new weekday episodes after a World Cup pause and is building toward a special jubilee week when Das Erste will air two episodes each evening from July 20 to July 23.
  • Recent broadcasts produced widely shared moments, including a contestant who named FC Bayern instead of the correct Borussia Dortmund on a question about Hans‑Joachim Watzke and another contestant who chose to 'zocken' a larger sum and was eliminated in the duel.
  • ARD confirmed the 1,000th‑episode celebration will feature back‑to‑back broadcasts in the early evening slot to mark the milestone and to spotlight returning regular 'jäger' quizzers.
  • The show's personalities matter to viewers: jäger like Manuel Hobiger have created memorable on‑air lines and gags, while Sebastian Jacoby says he uses a cap and different clothes off camera to avoid recognition in public.
  • Host Alexander Bommes describes Gefragt – Gejagt as a daily fixture that offers a predictable viewing rhythm, which producers and fans credit for the format's lasting appeal and social‑media visibility.
