After a minor accident, Joko and his colleague Klaas narrowly lost the new edition of “Joko & Klaas against ProSieben”.
Joko Winterscheidt (43) and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (39) recently extended their exclusive contracts with ProSieben for several years. However, the broadcaster’s own successful duo now had to cope with at least one minor setback. At the start of the second half of the fifth season of “Joko & Klaas versus ProSieben” on October 18, the two were unable to earn live broadcast time.
Joko Winterscheidt falls with the BMX
In the “Dilemmas” game, Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf each had to choose between different tasks. In one of the challenges they tried to ride a BMX along a tree trunk – without touching the ground.
Heufer-Umlauf failed in his attempt and Winterscheidt was not successful either. The presenter lost his balance and fell. Despite protective gear, he rammed the handlebars into his stomach. Winterscheidt was treated, causing the show’s taping according to the broadcaster had to be temporarily interrupted. He came back obviously in pain but also to thunderous applause from the audience present.
Four advantages for the final
For the final entitled “Please turn”, in which there was a premiere, the duo was able to win a total of four advantages. For the first time, the final game took place outdoors. In an extremely limited space, the two should turn a car. Thanks to the advantages, they had a total of seven minutes to do this.
Heufer-Umlauf steered the car skilfully. “Really impressive,” said moderator Steven Gätjen (50). Unfortunately, there was not enough time to complete the task. That’s why the two don’t get 15 minutes of live broadcasting from their broadcaster. As a punishment, however, they have to moderate “Galileo” until Friday, i.e. for three days, from 7:05 p.m.
