Knowing better - The great show of useless knowledge is a celebrity advice show that was shown on Tuesday at ProSieben from August 7, 2007 (at that time under the title Know-it-all - The great show of useless knowledge ) . The show was moderated by Oliver Welke .
Course of the game
In the show, celebrities were asked questions from various fields of "useless knowledge". There were four areas of knowledge per program, which were introduced with a short film in which three facts worth knowing were named.
The celebrities then each had to answer two questions by choosing from three different answer options. There were 20 IQ points for each correct question .
The Austrian journalist and writer Christian Ankowitsch was the expert for all questions . He answered the questions and provided further information in short introductions.
The program always ended with a final of the best on points against Professor Czimp (first season) or changing opponents (second season).
Know-it-all
On August 7, 2007, the first season started on Tuesday on ProSieben under the name "Know-it-alls - The great show of useless knowledge". Prominent guests were u. a. Oliver Kalkofe (as a permanent member) and others. In the end, the player with the most points had to face the highly talented and almost unbeatable Professor Czimp.
The show was taken out of the program after three episodes due to a lack of audience ratings and replaced by Survivor .

Know better
From April 8, 2008, ProSieben broadcast the new episodes of the second season on Tuesdays. In order to keep the show longer this time, the show concept was changed slightly, e.g. B. the show was now officially titled "Noch Besserwissen". Ingo Appelt and Oliver Kalkofe were constant players. Many celebrities from the first season played as guests, but also new ones (see below). The rules of the game were also slightly changed: Professor Czimp appeared as the new candidate joker who was able to double the points of the worst player. The final was played against changing "celebrities".

In fact, he is actually a female chimpanzee, is called Sina and comes from the Simbeck Film School in Schwabenpark . According to ProSieben, she should actually wear shirts during the show, but always ate the buttons and therefore had to put on a sweater.
