Overview
- RTL said Wednesday the late-night show will take a roughly four-month break and resume in September.
- The final episode before the pause airs May 7 and features jetski world champion Nils Wittling in a jetski-themed show.
- RTL will broadcast a live Jetski Star World Championship on August 29 from the Regattabahn in Duisburg, presented as a Raab-branded event.
- During the hiatus, RTL fills the late-Thursday slot first with a Markus Krebs stage program and then with a new season of the drama Der Lehrer in prime time.
- The show launched last fall in a Wednesday 8:15 p.m. slot, later moved to late Thursday with an extra weekly episode on RTL+, and recent reports put TV shares around six percent with dips to 4.6 percent.
