TV total was one of Stefan Raab hosted TV show on ProSieben . The first edition aired on March 8, 1999. For almost two years there was one issue a week. As of February 2001, the program ran four times a week as a rule. On December 16, 2015, the program was discontinued after 2303 issues due to Raab's withdrawal from television. With a running time of over 16 years, the show, which was last produced in Cologne-Mülheim , was the longest-running late-night show on German television. The repetitions of the episodes were broadcast on ProSieben Fun ; Most of the episodes are also available online at MySpass.de .
Origin and production
In 1997 Raab produced the show That can happen . With this show, which was shown in full length for the first time on the DVD Best of TV total Vol. 2 , he tried to convince the broadcasters of his concept. However, it took some time before ProSieben gave him his own show, which was then totally broadcast as TV . The television producer Marcus Wolter participated in the conception of the program. Many elements of the original version, at which Karl Dall , Verona Pooth and Rudolph Moshammer were guests, were also used later, such as the desk with the “nipples” and clips like Raab in danger . The quiz with the composed melodies was played in a similar form in the first editions of Schlag den Raab .
Raab came in handy for the Brainpool production company after Harald Schmidt left Brainpool. TV total was initially produced in the Theater am Rudolfplatz in Cologne city center, before the show moved to the former Capitol Theater am Ring in 2001 , which Harald Schmidt used as a studio until he left Brainpool. At the beginning there were similarities with Schmidt's late night show: “The Raab product is a professionally calculated spin-off of the Harald Schmidt show in terms of its effect : Already there was the desire to target the absurd in the sea of media products, Finding out banal, weird ones, the engine of many gags. "
The show has since been produced by Brainpool and Raab TV . At the beginning of 2003 the show moved to Brainpool's own studio on Schanzenstrasse in Cologne-Mülheim for the second time .
Concept of broadcast
TV Total looked a lot like a late night show . Raab opened the show with a stand-up monologue in which he talked about strange scenes from other TV shows and current headlines. There was a desk that in later years stood on a mobile pedestal. In addition to talk guests, there were various clips (see below) as well as performances by comedians and musicians. The latter were often accompanied by the show band Heavytones , which also provided musical accompaniment for the entire program. After the bad experience with Gottschalk Late Night and to avoid competition with the Harald Schmidt Show , the concept was adapted and expanded to a younger audience.
The disrespectful confrontation with breakdowns and questionable developments on German television was a central component (as was previously the case with Kalkofe's television screen ), which is also expressed in the program's name and logo (television set with devil's horns). Over the years, however, this aspect has been pushed back somewhat in favor of one-off or recurring special categories.
Most of the daily broadcasts were produced live on tape . Productions such as the Wok World Cup, the Stock Car Crash Challenge, but also special editions such as the broadcasts from Oslo and New York were live broadcasts .
Rubrics
TV-related rubrics
The discussion about the current television landscape took place mainly through the playing of the funniest scenes at the beginning of the program. Some short excerpts, which were also or just outside the original context, were played in by Raab using special buttons (so-called "nipples") on his desk during the broadcast, if it suited the situation or if there was an unwanted pause. In the beginning there were some special TV-related categories. However, due to a lack of material or response, these were later removed from the broadcast.
- The Raab of the Week was given as an award . The audience chose the winner from several candidates who had drawn attention to an involuntarily comical scene. The trophy (a kneeling athlete shouldering a stylized television) could be seen on the screen behind the desk and as a statue next to the show stairs until the last episode, although the "Raab of the week" was no longer awarded until 2010. On September 6, 2010, however, Raab announced in his broadcast that he would reintroduce it for a special event. In Bundesliga games, one of the players would have to hit a live moderator from behind with the ball on the head while warming up, as had happened a few weeks earlier. This happened in 2014. Already on February 23, 2012 Raab announced that he would like to award the award to a waiter who accidentally spilled beer glasses behind Angela Merkel on Political Ash Wednesday of the CDU .
- The shock of the week column featured a selection of shocking or disgusting scenes. The supposed climax was a harmless scene (e.g. from folk music).
- With the “Pfui” and “Respekt” trowels built into Raab's table, the moderator signaled moral indignation and recognition. The ladles could be extended with the additions "Extra-Gold-2000" or "my dear - Mr. Choral Society".
- When Ingo Dubinski accidentally exposed his penis while doing a report in the sauna , Raab invented the “puller alarm” on January 31, 2000 , which warned of such scenes with light signals and sirens. The US rapper LL Cool J was so amused by this action that he presented the puller alarm live at many of the following concerts in Germany.
- With pictures from talk shows, Raab presented the love story of the week as a storyteller .
- When a defendant did a clumsy show on a court broadcast , Raab reported on the case of the week .
- In the Superbrain category , various excerpts from quiz programs such as Everyone versus Everyone or The weakest flies were shown, in which candidates gave funny or embarrassing answers to the questions.
Action-related rubrics
- When Raab was in danger , Raab exposed himself to a dangerous or even bizarre situation (e.g. aerobatics , survival training or McDrive ). The original clip was backed by Come with me by Puff Daddy . Since October 2006 there has been a new edition with Elton in Raab's danger , in which the show intern repeated the most spectacular tasks.
- Based on the "rudigrams" in the Rudi Carrell Show , Raab offered surprised celebrities his serenades, known as "Raabigrams", mostly on the ukulele , which usually began flatteringly and ended maliciously. In the first episode of TV total, Raab poked fun at Rudi Carrell himself. Other addressees were Thomas Anders , Dieter Bohlen , Heiner Bremer , Echt , Verona Feldbusch , Herman & Tietjen , Ronan Keating , Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko , Frauke Ludowig , Angela Merkel , Harald Schmidt , Brisko Schneider , Scooter , Siegfried and Roy , Britney Spears , Holger Speckhahn and Hella out of her senses .
Rubrics in the studio
- Every Tuesday Raab played the quiz embarrassing or cashing against a studio guest from the audience . Elton asked ten questions. A correct answer earned 100 points, a wrong answer was deducted 100 points and the opponent was allowed to answer. In the event of a tie, an estimation question decided the winner, who received the difference in points in euros. If it was the spectator, he had the opportunity to compete again as defending champion in the coming week. The most successful candidate was the student Stephan, who beat Raab seven times, was the first to answer all ten questions correctly and went home with a record profit of € 1,100 (score: 1000 to −100). Raab's biggest win was € 1,000. Theoretically, a maximum win of € 2,000 was possible. To do this, the loser first had to answer every question incorrectly and then the winner had to give the correct answer. With slightly different rules, this quiz was also played for Schlag den Raab , Schlag den Star and later for Schlag den Henssler and Schlag den beste . Currently it is still played at Schlag den Star and Schlag den Beste . Traditionally, Elton always wears a red jacket when he moderates disgrace or cashing .
- Based on What am I? tried Raab at Who am I and what am I actually doing here? guessing an employee by asking yes-no questions , whose work was then presented in a small video clip. Raab was allowed to ask as many questions as he wanted, provided he received fewer than ten no answers. If it came to that, he had lost and the employee was introduced. The game was moderated by Elton, who mostly wore a brown corduroy suit combined with a light blue shirt for the occasion . For each no answer, a five- mark piece was sacrificed in a piggy bank , which the employee received at the end. In addition, depending on the outcome, the employee received a T-shirt with the label “My boss knows me” or “My boss doesn't know me”. Elton was sometimes noticed during the game, for example by eating or playing cards.
- In mid-2007, pupils up to the tenth grade of all types of school had the opportunity to give an approximately seven-minute presentation on any topic.
- In the slide or lollipop competition, a candidate was able to win at least DM 250,000 in each broadcast. Raab asked a question in his program that the television viewers had to answer correctly over the phone. An invited candidate was already guaranteed 10,000 DM. To hit the jackpot, he had to break Raab's record for sliding down the stairs quickly. If he did not manage to do this, the jackpot increased by 10,000 DM.
- Under the title Bei Call Bohlen , Raab tried to have the longest possible telephone conversation with strangers, in which he only played excerpts from the audio book of Dieter Bohlen’s autobiography and thereby suggested to the interlocutor that he was speaking to Dieter Bohlen.
- In the roaring competition, the announcement had to be made as loud as possible at the beginning of the broadcast.
Single player
- In the TV total TV tips for the weekend (from November 21, 2002) the alleged highlights from the TV program of the upcoming weekend were presented mostly on Thursdays. While this section used to be used to process funny TV clips, later several people commented on the program. At first, older people (including the quarreling couple Ingrid & Klaus) played the main role. Later the TV tips were "on tour", i. That is, several people on the street or in a kiosk were asked about the TV program. Ingrid and Klaus got a new section ( Ingrids Week and Klaus , from October 24, 2007) in which they gave their opinion on the headlines of the current week.
- In the TV total TV box , which was set up at different locations in the German-speaking area, visitors were able to present their special skills.
- An important element of the program were the street surveys with unsuspecting passers-by who u. a. appeared in the What do you actually say (survey on a current topic) section. The serious interviewer, who was never seen in the picture, brought the interviewees into embarrassing situations due to their lack of quick wit or poor general knowledge. The former author Lutz van der Horst , known as "Günni" , also shot such actions on the street (see below).
- Other categories were 3 good reasons (shortened form of the top 10 known from US shows) and The History of World Hits (fictional origin of a song).
- During the first-time voter check , young people, who often stood out due to their poor general education, were confronted with political questions shortly before elections. In these contributions Raab discovered the high school graduate Lukas and Sonja Rieger, who later explained the world in their own contributions ( Lukas Dingsbums and you, Ms. Rieger? ). There were similar tests on other subjects, e.g. B. television ( TV check ), soccer World Cup ( World Cup check ) or integration ( integration check ).
- In the Stefan section on the ticket hotline , Raab played tricks and jokes with some callers who wanted to buy tickets for the show.
Elton
In addition to moderating the guessing games disgrace or cash in and Who am I and what am I actually doing here? (see above) Raab's Sidekick Elton had several separate categories in the context of the show.
- At Elton gambles Elton asked passers-by or celebrities to a duel on May 21, 2003. If the candidate won, they received a new, modern product or a certain amount of cash. In the event of a defeat, he had to hand in his own copy, which was usually destroyed by an "executor". On February 14, 2013, it was also announced that this section was included in its own live show, which was broadcast on ProSieben on Saturday evening. It was the presenter’s first own Saturday evening show, who previously worked with Simon Gosejohann in Elton vs. Simon could be seen. It was first broadcast on April 20, 2013.
- In the category An Immoral Offer , the title of which was based on the film of the same name , Elton chose two candidates in public places, to whom he offered increasing amounts of money up to a secret limit. If a candidate said "stop" at a certain amount, he had to take an embarrassing action in front of passers-by in order to receive the money.
- When playing Bimmelbingo , Elton had to ring the doorbell from October 2, 2001, citizens who received money for the use of certain swear words. This action caused trouble with the police several times as well as damages for a victim of the program who was "downright ridiculed".
- Elton was remotely controlled by instructions from Raab, which he received through an earphone .
- For how long? Elton annoyed passers-by with a certain activity until the passer-by stopped him. Elton stopped the time.
- Two dog owners wanted in the park competed with their four-legged friends in three games at Elton's dog show and thus determined the winner.
Günni
Günni's real name is Lutz van der Horst and he was the author of the show until 2005. He made his debut on August 28, 2003.
- In the Günni's last chance category , he tried to win the audience's favor by means of street surveys, skits (e.g. as a pop singer) and hidden camera shoots (e.g. in the kiosk). If the audience found the MAZ to be good, it was allowed to compete again the following week.
- Previously, from December 4, 2001, he was the actor in "Blasehasen", a pink rabbit that suddenly stumbled into the show. After a call, various clips were shown in which viewers had rented the bubble bunny for their party. In addition, the "bubble hare" was smuggled in on the ARD broadcast again and again on Sundays .
Willi and Isabel
Willi Hess, who died on April 10, 2003, appeared as a bouncer ( Willi opens the door , from February 5, 2003) or confronted other older people with youth language in other clips ( Check it out Willi , from December 2, 2002).
The Thuringian nurse Isabel Kilian, who discovered Raab on the occasion of a blood donation campaign in November 2001, lured Isabel asks about passers-by from the reserve by repeatedly asking them the same question.
music
Heavytones
The consignment is accompanied musically by the band from 2001 Heavytones that composed by Raab theme song at the beginning and end of the program and the various jingles played to commercial break. The Heavytones often accompanied live performances by musical guests. From time to time the house band was replaced by prominent guest bands or interesting musical groups such as the Wildes Holz formation . In 2015 the Heavytones included the following musicians: Wolfgang Norman Dalheimer ( keyboard ), Herb Jösch ( drums ), Krischan Frehse ( electric bass ), Hanno Busch ( guitar ), Alfonso Garrido ( percussion ), Rüdiger Baldauf ( trumpet ), Thorsten Skringer ( Saxophone ) and Max von Eine ( trombone ).
Heavytones kids
In the week after Easter 2006, the Heavytones for three programs were replaced by the “Heavytones Kids”. One week in advance, the audience selected the young talents between the ages of six and 14. The band included Max (guitar), Constantin (electric bass), Marcel (keyboard), Dorothea (percussion), Adriano (drums), Felix (trumpet), Katharina (trombone) and Jenny (saxophone). The young musicians had another appearance on TV total's New Year's Eve show together with Tobias Regner . For the 2000th broadcast on February 20, 2014, the young people came together again for a song after almost eight years.
SSDSGPS
At the end of 2003 / beginning of 2004, Raab initiated the casting show SSDSGPS ("Stefan sucht den Super-Grand-Prix-Star"), which parodied the name of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS), but as serious and more musical A talented alternative to this understood. The show was produced in the newly decorated TV total studio. Moderators were Stefan Raab , Elton and Annette Frier . The Heavytones, who accompanied the show musically, played in their usual place known from TV.
With the competition, Raab was looking for a candidate for the German qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 . NDR head of entertainment Dr. Jürgen Meier-Beer had promised him a wildcard if his artist were to be successful in the charts. The jury consisted of Raab, Thomas Anders and Joy Fleming .
Victorious from SSDSGPS went Max Mutzke out that in the final against Bonita Jeanetta Louw , Vanessa Henning and Alexandra Schröder prevailed. In the German preliminary round, Mutzke competed against another nine German artists and, with 67% of the audience votes, received a good twice as many calls as the other nine artists together. In a further round of calls, only the best two artists were left to vote, Mutzke and Scooter . Mutzke prevailed here with 92% and thus won the German qualifying round. At the ESC final in Istanbul he reached eighth place with his No. 1 hit Can't Wait Until Tonight .
Raab received a Grimme Prize for SSDSGPS in 2005 .
SSDSDSSWEMUGABRTLAD
SSDSDSSWEMUGABRTLAD was created in 2007 as the successor to SSDSGPS . The abbreviation stands for "Stefan is looking for the superstar who should sing what he wants and can also appear on RTL!" The show came about when, in April 2007, when Germany is looking for the superstar, the candidate Max Buskohl left the casting show and RTL forbade him, with reference to existing contracts, from appearing on TV immediately afterwards. Raab started a campaign under the motto "Freedom for Max Buskohl", in which he caused a stir with the use of a modified RAF kidnapping photo. After what critics saw as a PR campaign failed, Raab started his new casting show.
The show was moderated by Elton and Johanna Klum . Twenty candidates were selected from the applicants who presented themselves in a casting box. The candidates were free to choose the songs, and their own productions were also allowed. They presented themselves to the audience and the jury, which consisted of Stefan Raab, Max Buskohl's father Carl Carlton and a guest juror (including Sarah Connor , Anke Engelke , Stefanie Kloß , Sasha , Joy Denalane and Barbara Schöneberger ) in two preliminary rounds . Ten candidates were elected to the next round via televoting, and they had to prove themselves in further live shows.
Country musician Mario Strohschänk, rock singer Steffi List from Schweinfurt, ballad writer Gregor Meyle and then 18-year-old Swiss Stefanie Heinzmann from Eyholz competed in the finals on January 10, 2008 . Strohschänk was the first to retire; all candidates presented their recently recorded singles live for the first time. Stefanie Heinzmann, who comes from the canton of Valais , finally won the competition and received a record deal.
Bundesvision Song Contest
Out of disappointment about the poor results at the Eurovision Song Contest , Stefan Raab invented a new musical competition. At the Bundesvision Song Contest ( BuViSoCo for short ) instead of musicians from European countries, participants from the 16 German federal states competed against each other. In the regular editions of TV total , one participant was introduced per broadcast. As with the European model, the competition always took place in the state of the previous year's winner.

The venues were the railways in Winterberg , Innsbruck ( Tyrol ), Altenberg (Ore Mountains) , Oberhof and Schönau am Königssee . The most successful participants were the Olympic winner Georg Hackl , the musician and extreme athlete Joey Kelly , the presenter Stefan Gödde and Raab himself. Because of the allegation of surreptitious advertising , ProSieben was forced for the first time in 2009 to mark the Wok World Cup as a long-term commercial . In response to this, the ironic reference to continuous television broadcast has since been shown in the daily TV-total broadcast .
Speed skating

Headis
A “Headis” special broadcast took place twice. The funsport Headis is a mixture of the conventional table tennis and the head of the football .

For the European Football Championship in 2008 and 2012 as well as for the Football World Championship in 2010 and 2014 , Raab organized an Auto Ball EM and World Cup .

TVTNSFDWADKHUWGNEMKAKVANBÜDLZT with Stefan Raab
In this section Raab was looking for the most beautiful woman in Germany. The abbreviation stands for TV totals next beautiful woman who has something on the box and, if possible, can do a little more than carry clothes from A to B down the catwalk - with Stefan Raab . At the end of October 2010 the first of a total of four Raab castings began in Cologne . The recall began on March 14, 2011, in which three candidates stand for election to the studio audience every day. On March 23, 2011, the 26-year-old Korinna Kramer emerged as the winner. She then appeared on TV total , from April 2011 also on Schlag den Raab and later also on Schlag den Star , Schlag den Henssler and Schlag den Beste as an assistant and backstage reporter.
Originally, the casting TV should be called Total Next Supermodel - by Stefan Raab . This title was a direct allusion to Heidi Klum's show Germany's Next Top Model - by Heidi Klum , which has also been broadcast on ProSieben since 2006 . For this reason the format had to be renamed later.
BallBall
A BallBall special broadcast took place on November 6, 2012 . The game BallBall was first played on September 22, 2012 at Schlag den Raab . Raab had already announced such a special at the time.

Litigation
TV total pursued the goal of devoting itself to media criticism in a satirical way with the help of TV excerpts from other TV stations. The parodic aim of the entire program did not give carte blanche for unfree withdrawals through individual contributions. Therefore, there were several legal disputes.
In one case, Raab had a 20 second cut of a spontaneous yodeling from the HR telecast Country Party in Hüttenberg shown relative without comment. Therefore, he could not rely on either the right to freely edit or the right to quote. In addition, it was not a current event of the day that TV could completely report on without paying license fees. This showed TV some of the limits of copyright law , because license-free ones are accordingly
- commented TV excerpts ( i.e. freely edited according to § 24 para. 1 UrhG and leading to an independent work),
- Quoted TV excerpts ( § 51 No. 2 UrhG) presuppose an internal connection between the quoted passage and one's own thoughts. A quotation is therefore generally only permissible if it appears as a reference or basis for discussion for independent statements by the citing person. or
- Current events of the day ( § 50 UrhG) are any current events that are of interest to the public , whereby an event is current as long as a report about it is perceived by the public as current reporting.
An excerpt sent only for reasons of comedy does not meet these conditions. Thus, in the case of the "Landparty in Hüttenberg", the exclusive right of the film producer pursuant to Section 95 , Section 94 (1) Sentence 1 UrhG to reproduce the film carrier ( Section 16 UrhG), distribute it ( Section 17 UrhG) and publicly was interfered with To use the demonstration ( Section 19 (4) UrhG). With his contribution, the moderator neither made a media criticism nor created a work of art. Taking over the interview is therefore not covered by Section 24 (1) UrhG, even taking into account freedom of expression (Article 5 (1) GG) and freedom of art (Article 5 (3) GG). If license fees are due, public television broadcasters charge private broadcasters a license price of around € 1,300 per minute or part thereof.
Critics accused Raab from time to time that his humor was at the expense of third parties and those inexperienced in television and that they violated their personal rights. Raab has already been sued several times and, for example, in February 2004 in the Lisa Loch case for violation of personal rights to a compensation of 70,000 euros or in September 2005 for violating the art copyright law ( right to one's own image ) and insulting to a fine of 150,000 euros.
Audience ratings
The following ratings reflect the absolute annual average audience figures and were determined by Media Control .

The program with the highest percentage of viewers was broadcast on June 5, 2008, directly after the finale of Germany's Next Top Model , and reached over 23 percent of viewers between 14 and 49 years of age.
reception
criticism
The program received criticism in its new direction, which was seen as the reason for the persistent decline in viewers for years. Was TV total initially a Skurrilitätenkabinett of German television, was the mission later mainly determined by talking to guests by promoting ProSieben produced films and events such as the poker night and marketing of pop musicians. In 2007, the show only had an average viewership of 910,000 and, with an audience rate of 6.5%, was below the average for broadcasters. However, the show very often only started at 11:15 pm. ProSieben extended its contract with Raab in 2009 for "several years". In 2015, the culture editor Jonas Leppin judged that TV total had "become a carelessly produced piece of television junk". Other authors such as Oliver Rasche from Die Welt praised Raab and emphasized that Raab still clearly stands out from the competition and "has not yet passed its zenith".

Trivia
- The magazine TV total , which appeared at the beginning of 2001 and was published by Raab TV, Brainpool and Axel Springer Verlag , was discontinued in May - four months after the first issue - due to low sales figures.
- The identity of Manfred Winkens, the voiceover for most of the clips, was always kept secret by the production company. In the 12th episode of the 3rd season, Winkens can be seen briefly in a film. In the last broadcast, Winkens announced Stefan Raab with the introduction that is totally typical for TV. His eyes were covered with glasses that were held in the style of a censor bar . Those two appearances were the only ones he was totally actually seen on TV.
Embarrassing or cashing in
- In the broadcast of September 30, 2014 Elton asked the question: “Microsoft today officially presented the latest version of its Windows operating system. What's her name? ”Asked. "Windows 9" was given as the correct answer. In fact, however, Microsoft introduced Windows 10 . However, since TV total was recorded in the afternoon (4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. was the officially announced time frame on that day), the editors were not yet aware of this at the time. So it happened that the answer was already out of date at the time it was broadcast. After the wrong resolution, Raab even joked: "But that's pretty creative, they come up with something."
- In the broadcast on August 25, 2015, Elton asked about the author of Pumuckl , referring to the fact that Pumuckl's belly should no longer be present in the new version of the cartoon. On the same day, however, the daughter of Ellis Kaut , the inventor of Pumuckl , announced that the fans' wishes were being followed and that the stomach would also be present in the new edition of the show.
