What is Stefan Raab up to? First, he announced a possible comeback to nine million Insta followers. Doesn’t he come back anyway?
Cult presenter Stefan Raab, 57, has been in a self-imposed quiet hour for almost ten years. However, a video posted on Instagram on Good Friday 2024 gave fans hope. The content: His former intern Elton, 52, rows to the fishing village of Raab on an abandoned lake and asks him to appear in front of the camera again. However, Raab weighs it down and says he just wants to become an influencer. The alleged deal at the end: If Elton gets him nine million followers within three days, Raab will do something again. However, what exactly remains uncertain.
Stefan Raab should continue to stay behind the scenes
Currently, after just under a day, his previously rather dormant Instagram account already has around two million followers – and the trend is of course rising rapidly. Whether the required nine million can be achieved by Easter Monday remains extremely questionable, but possible. But what exactly is Stefan Raab planning? If you believe a current article in the “Bild” newspaper, a real TV comeback in front of the camera is not really planned, despite the Instagram video.
Accordingly, the presenter and musician would like to remain in the background with his newly founded company Raab Entertainment in the future. According to the report, there are currently no plans to return as an entertainer.
Raab co-founded a new company with the ex-ProSieben boss
To explain: Raab withdrew from the company Brainpool and the associated production company Raab TV at the end of 2023. However, he founded a new company together with ex-ProSieben boss Daniel Rosemann: Raab Entertainment. The first project is a show during this year’s European Football Championship in Germany. In “The RTL EM Studio – All games, goals, emotions” Jan Köppen, 41, and Elton report together on the highlights from the European Championship games.
However, Raab is unlikely to be seen here himself. If you believe the current media report, it will stay that way. Will he let possibly nine million followers change his mind? Not currently ruled out, but still unlikely.
