Overview
- Prime Video began streaming Season 7 of LOL: Last One Laughing in mid‑May with ten participants from the German comedy scene and six episodes released as weekly double episodes.
- At the Munich premiere Michelle Hunziker confirmed she appears in the German edition but said an exclusivity deal with Mediaset prevents her from joining the Italian version and that Italian producers used a Michelle impersonator instead.
- Torsten Sträter returned to public work by joining the cast after disclosing a tumour in April and said competing to win was secondary when Prime Video invited him and timing allowed.
- Cast members used red‑carpet interviews to debate comedy’s changing norms, with Olaf Schubert calling jokes’ relevance cyclical and Max Giermann saying prosthetic and dialect limits stop him from parodizing some public figures.
- Participants also described the show’s physical and emotional strain from suppressing laughter on set and reminded viewers that the format keeps its core rules — two lives per contestant and a €50,000 prize usually donated to charity.
