My husband can was a game show that was broadcast on the private broadcaster Sat.1 on Fridays at 8:15 p.m. The first episode ran on July 16, 2010. The show was hosted from 2010 to the end of 2012 by Britt Hagedorn and Harro Füllgrabe . In 2013, Oliver Pocher and Christine Theiss took over the moderation. In each episode, four, mostly married couples competed against each other, with the winning couple receiving 50,000 euros in prize money.

Rules of the game

During the show, four women sit at a poker table and their husbands sit in glass booths behind them, so that no communication between the spouses is possible. The women are given a task. You have to decide how often and for how long your husband can do this task. In many cases this task has already been tried out by Harro Füllgrabe and the women can orientate themselves on the result achieved. The men hear how high the women are playing poker, but the women do not know what their men are gesturing or saying behind them. The women place chips one after the other and thus increase their stakes and thus the difficulty of the task for their men. The woman who made the highest bid commits her husband to do the job. If the man passes the task, his wife wins all the chips used. If he fails or does not start the task, these chips are instead distributed equally among the other women (with the exception of the first episode on July 16, 2010, in which the chips were still in the pot). After the fourth and sixth game round, the pair with the lowest number of chips is eliminated, leaving only two pairs for the final seventh game. In the final, both women go 'all in' and the pot is representative of the prize money of 50,000 euros. New chips are used for playing the last game. If the man with the highest bidder manages the task, the couple wins the money, otherwise the money goes to the second couple in the final.

Further utilization of the concept of the program

The concept of the series was sold to foreign television channels, for example to the free TV channel Jiang Su Satellite in China, where the adaptation of the show is already running successfully, as well as to VT4 in Belgium, SBS 6 in the Netherlands, ITV in the United Kingdom and SBS Denmark.

Since April 2016, Sat.1 has been sending the program repackaged as Ran an den Mann every Friday at 8:15 p.m. The show is moderated by Annemarie and Wayne Carpendale . In addition, the design and the stage set were changed, so the men sit in cells made of bars, the women sit one level above so that women and men can no longer see each other outside of the games.

incident

As a result of September 21, 2012, an incident occurred in the final when a candidate for the win apparently risked his life. The two final candidates had to compete in a glass case. The winner should be who can hold his breath the longest. According to a viewer, one of the candidates suddenly began to twitch in the second round. His opponent gave up in the third round after two minutes. The first candidate, on the other hand, suddenly sank down and floated in the water until several people took him out of the water. He had to be resuscitated by a paramedic from the audience. The candidate declared that he was fit again quickly, but the dramatic scenes were not shown in the broadcast.

Reviews

  • According to Rupert Sommer from the Süddeutsche Zeitung , the show gives viewers the impression "as if Switch parody experts were at work". In addition, Sommer disguises the show as a “Sat.1 game show martyrdom”.
  • Joachim Hirzel from Focus writes that the “show in the world really wasn't missing”.
