Overview
- A new employee named Marcel lifted the wrong cue card or raised it too early, interrupting Sebastian Pufpaff’s planned introduction.
- Producers restarted the scene and the opening was performed correctly on the second take, with the televised broadcast omitting the error.
- Pufpaff defused the moment with humor, quipping on set, “Marcel hat heute seinen ersten und letzten Tag!” and teasing him before the redo.
- The studio shared the outtake on Instagram with the caption “Passiert den Besten!” and commenters reacted with amusement and praise.
- The light slipup fits the show’s self-aware brand; TV total, created by Stefan Raab, has been hosted by Pufpaff since 2021.
