Why the quiz show failed on Friday

On Friday, February 21st, Stephanie Stumph and her father Wilfried Stumph should actually-to say goodbye to the popular Stubbe series-to a guest at who knows that? be. But the ARD took off the popular quiz show at short notice.

Hoëcker made advertising for the Greens – and thus conquered the quiz show out of the program

The reason for the spontaneous program was Bernhard Hoëcker. The popular comedian played in an election commercial from Bündnis 90/The Greens. He took part in the election campaign indirectly and the ARD had to intervene. An ARD spokeswoman said to DWDL:

In accordance with the regulations of the ARD state broadcasters, program -defining personalities who participate in the election campaign may be allowed in the last six weeks before one election neither appear in the program nor receive the screen or micro time.

Bernhard Hoëcker did not follow this requirement, and since the shows are pre -produced, the whole show was simply not shown. Instead, the first showed repetitions of the popular competition – hunted.

Incidentally, this regulation also applies to ZDF, which led to a similar situation in satirical program. Max Uthoff was no longer allowed to appear there on the show after he was together with his wife Election advertising for the party DIE LINKE.

However, this regulation only applies until the election. Now the Bundestag election is over and Max Uthoff will be there again by the institution in the next episode. Who also knows what? will be broadcast again this evening (with Bernhard Hoëcker). Dieter Nuhr and Martin Frank are guests. What happens to the Friday edition is still unclear. However, it can be assumed that the shipment will be broadcast afterwards.
