After a win and a defeat, Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf have earned 15 minutes of airtime again.
The second success for Joko Winterscheidt (43) and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (38) in the current season of “Joko & Klaas versus ProSieben”: After the win at the start and the failure in the second edition, the duo triumphed again against their broadcaster.
Significantly better than last time
In the second show, the two could only win two advantages for the finals. In the third edition, there were twice as many on Tuesday evening. At a small fair in the studio, they should first prove themselves in different, typical games – which Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf also managed. A three-course meal, which they were supposed to cook in the dark, went horribly wrong afterwards.
In the third task, the team was able to beat actress Nilam Farooq (32) and her colleague Max von der Groeben (30) when guessing fictional characters. In the fourth game, they should drop objects from a height of 20 meters without breaking them. For the two of them, however, the whole thing was a letdown.
“Of course I eat the pills”
In the fifth game, which was successful for the duo, there were again several tasks to be solved. Among other things, they downed ten glasses of Kölsch in just under 30 seconds and Heufer-Umlauf swallowed two pills with an unknown effect without even thinking about it. “I work in TV, of course I eat the pills,” joked the presenter.
The duo was also successful in the sixth game. They competed against their moderator colleagues Daniel Boschmann (41) and Jochen Schropp (43) and were supposed to throw objects on a table that had to remain on it. Beer and pills didn’t seem to have much effect on either of them – not even in the final.
In this, 15 minutes of broadcasting were again at stake. The duo was shown a one-and-a-half-minute play in which they were asked to discover clues to a specific solution. The piece was shown up to seven times thanks to the four advantages earned. The two found out in time that they should play the fourth song on a Joy Fleming CD.
If Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf had lost, they would have had to re-score an entire episode of a sitcom broadcast on ProSieben with laughter. Because of their victory, the broadcaster will give them 15 minutes of airtime again on May 4th at 8:15 p.m. to do whatever they want with. The station will then show the fourth episode of the current season of “Joko & Klaas versus ProSieben” on May 10 in prime time.
