construction
The show followed the typical structure of a late night show . Thomas Koschwitz began with an established monologue and then sat down at his desk. There he moderated clips, read a top 10 of ten jokes on a daily topic and received prominent guests. The program also included Ingo Appelt's television court , in which comedian Ingo Appelt parodied other television programs.
history
Originally, the program was produced in 1994 to bridge the summer break of the first German late night show Gottschalk Late Night , which started on RTL in 1992 . Except for the name and the moderator, the show corresponded to the Thomas Gottschalks. The time slot at 11:15 p.m. was also identical. After the end of Gottschalk's summer break, the RTL night show was immediately removed from the program and immediately replaced by Gottschalk Late Night. Because of the excellent ratings, the show was then added to the RTL night program again from January 1995. Gottschalk kept his broadcast slot and the RTL Nachtshow was broadcast after the RTL Nachtjournal at 0:30 a.m. On this difficult slot, Thomas Koschwitz was so successful with the program that after Gottschalk left RTL in 1995, he (again) took over the slot at 11:15 p.m. However, the quotas were no longer comparable with those of Gottschalk, so that RTL canceled the program because of the competition from the Harald Schmidt Show announced by Sat.1 in the meantime . The broadcast was finally discontinued in November 1995 with the 250th issue.
