Oliver Pocher Calls Stefan Raab’s TV Comeback a Failure

The clash highlights the gap between social-media reactions and TV commissioning.

Overview

  • Pocher, speaking on the podcast Tomorrow – Business. Stars. Lifestyle, said Raab’s return to RTL has failed and claimed each week on air hurts his standing.
  • He accused Raab of discarding his pledge to quit television and argued money should not drive the comeback, saying Raab had already earned in the nine-figure range.
  • Raab re-entered TV in September 2024, and early formats such as Du gewinnst hier nicht die Million and Die Stefan Raab Show drew weak ratings.
  • A newer project, Wer weiß wie wann was war? – Die Show der Generationen, which he co-hosts with Barbara Schöneberger, posted stronger audience numbers in its first episodes.
  • Despite polarized comments on X that say Raab’s time has passed, outlets report the new show is set to be extended, with Tag24 stressing improved ratings and OK! noting the planned continuation.
