Things have been quiet about Stefan Raab for years. Now a mysterious Instagram video with him and Elton raises questions: Is a comeback imminent?
A mysterious video on the previously empty Instagram account Stefan Raab, 57, raises questions. It’s the first post in almost six years. Will the entertainer and television producer return to the camera soon? He has not appeared in public since 2015 and has only worked in the background on various programs and shows.
Stefan Raab shares video: What is he planning with Elton?
The main actor in Stefan Raab’s clip is Elton, 52, who paddles alone in a canoe boat on a lake to an island and calls out to the entertainer: “Stefan, where are you?” When he arrives at his destination, he finds Stefan Raab. “Elton, old fart,” he says – and Raab’s voice is immediately recognizable.
However, the entertainer can only be seen from behind and sitting in a deck chair. “Everyone is looking for you,” Elton tells him. “You’ve been gone for almost ten years now. It’s time you did something again.” However, Raab emphasized that he had already done everything in the past few years. He just hasn’t been an influencer yet.
He then promises Elton that if he too has nine million followers like fitness influencer Pamela Reif, 27, “then I’ll do something again […]from me also fitness videos”.
Countdown to April Fools’ Day?
However, Elton only has three days to do this. “All right, I’ll take care of it,” said the moderator. The clip ends with the announcement. “April 1st is in 3 days,” some users then note in the comments column. It remains to be seen whether this is really a comeback or just a joke from Stefan Raab.
New production company with ex-ProSieben boss since 2024
Stefan Raab ended his active television career in 2015 and then completely withdrew from the public eye. Nevertheless, he remained diligent. In the background, he continued to pull the strings on many television projects. At the beginning of this year it was also announced that Raab had founded the new production company Raab Entertainment together with former ProSieben boss Daniel Rosemann. “We have a lot planned and want to start the new year with a great team and lots of new ideas,” said a message on LinkedIn.
Regarding the field of activity of their new joint production company it was said: “Raab Entertainment produces moving image content for all broadcasters, platforms and customers. We are creative and hands-on. We develop concepts and ideas that are unique. We are looking for unique people with a lot of skills and know.”
