Without Stefan Raab, the popular show duel format Schlag den Star has continued for years with Elton as moderator. A new edition of the format is also running on the station this Saturday, this time with a bizarre line-up.

In the Schlag den Star edition on September 2, 2023, singer Pietro Lombardi and comedian Chris Tall compete against each other. Both stars have made negative headlines in recent years, which makes the duel particularly weird.
As we reported at the time, in 2018 there was a riot around the comedy show Darf er das? of the comedian. In a quiz format, women for the game “Pregnant or fat?” brought onto the stage.
