Lena Meyer-Landrut shoots against Johannes B. Kerner
Lena Meyer-Landrut, 32, obviously did not expect such a level of stress. The quiz show “The Big Terra X Show” was about measuring stress levels using a small measuring device on your finger. Johannes B. Kerner led the candidates, including Lena, into believing that they wanted to measure the so-called skin conductance after they had watched a downhill mountain bike ride from a first-person perspective on the screen. What he didn’t tell them: Suddenly a nasty zombie shot out of the sofa – much to the singer’s horror! She could barely get her head around it anymore. “I’m just going to throw up,” she complained. “I’m still shaking. I’m still sweating.” Then their atrocities were directed against the show’s host, Johannes B. Kerner! “I can not believe it. “I want to kick you now,” she shouted and almost freaked out. Teammate Smudo even wanted to support her. “I’ll hold him tight,” he promised! But the big showdown didn’t happen after all, the “What I Want” – The singer was able to win the duel with Hannah Herzsprung because her skin conductance was significantly lower.
Annemarie Eilfeld: “I’m not feeling so well”

Meanwhile, her followers are wondering what motivated the musician to take her break – Surely there will be a solution soon.

Florian Silbereisen the series sails are being canceled
After 17 years of broadcasting and four years with Florian Silbereisen, 42, in the role of captain, the ZDF series “Cruise into Happiness” is about to end. Heike Hempel, 58, head of the ZDF main editorial team for television films/series II, announced this in an interview with the industry service “DWDL”. The last film in the “Dream Ship” spin-off is scheduled to be broadcast next year.
Hempel says about the reasons: “It is important to further strengthen the ‘Dream Ship’ brand.” The number of “Cruise to Happiness” episodes produced has already decreased last year and in 2023. But “The Dream Ship” should flicker across the TV screen even more often. According to Heike Hempel, they want to try to increase production to four films per year instead of the previous three. Since 2019, pop star Florian Silbereisen has thrilled people in the role of captain. Fans can now look forward to his last “Cruise to Happiness” film again on New Year’s Day 2024.

“Yes I do!” – Günther Jauch dares to take the next step
Günther Jauch, 67, is known on German TV for his formal manner of speaking. Not only with his candidates for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, but also with a good colleague: Barbara Schöneberger, 49. On the occasion of the 1000th episode of the NDR talk show, the presenter was invited again after 27 years. As part of the show, Barbara Schöneberger addressed an undefined topic: You or Her? “I am asked most often, do you really call Mr. Jauch?” said the entertainer in front of the camera. Despite the long-standing and close friendship, she has never given up thinking about being on first name terms with her colleagues, she admits.
At a past game show, Jan Josef Liefers, 59, suggested that Schöneberger should use the Münster native’s first name, which was ignored. In the TV studio, Jauch said to the Munich woman: “Barbara, yes, I want to.” The change is still unusual for the 49-year-old. “Something is still difficult for me to say. But we can manage it,” she assured Günther.
