RTL BenchesWer Wird Millionär?’ as Ralf Schmitz’s New Quiz Takes Over Mondays

The switch marks a short spring reset in Germany’s primetime quiz lineup following ProSieben’s live format posting solid Sunday ratings.

Overview

  • Günther Jauch told viewers Monday that ‘Wer wird Millionär?’ will pause until Pentecost, as RTL slots ‘Die Weisheit der Vielen’ for April 27, May 4 and May 11 at 8:15 p.m.
  • ‘Die Weisheit der Vielen’ pits one player against a 200‑person audience with up to four tries to out‑guess the majority for €10,000, then an accurate audience member takes a final solo shot, with episodes available a week early on RTL+.
  • The latest ‘Wer wird Millionär?’ featured Tom Wollnik reaching the million‑euro question before choosing to walk away with €500,000.
  • A separate contestant listed Tokio Hotel’s Bill Kaulitz as a telephone joker, and his brief call‑in cameo surprised host Günther Jauch.
  • ProSieben’s ‘Ein sehr gutes Quiz (mit hoher Gewinnsumme)’ returned live on Sunday on ProSieben and Joyn with 760,000 total viewers and a 10.8% share among 14–49, using secret locations and a €100,000 top prize.
