Big Year in Review with Jauch and Co. - ARD’s *Quiz Year in Review* returns with stars, satire, and 2025’s biggest headlines
ARD will broadcast its 18th annual Quiz Year in Review on December 27, 2025, at 8:15 p.m. The show, hosted by Kai Pflaume, will test celebrities on the biggest events of the year. Topics range from Germany’s new government to Donald Trump’s political comeback and even the Louvre jewellery heist.
Four well-known faces will compete for the title of quiz champion: Günther Jauch, Barbara Schöneberger, Jan Josef Liefers, and defending winner Florian Silbereisen. The show will also feature a special guest—Inger Nilsson, the actress who played Pippi Longstocking, marking the character’s 80th anniversary.
Satirical commentary will come from heute-show hosts Fabian Köster and Lutz van der Horst. Their humour will add a light-hearted touch to the quiz, which covers politics, crime, and pop culture. The winner of the 2025 edition will be crowned live during the broadcast.
The programme promises a mix of trivia, entertainment, and nostalgia. Viewers can expect sharp questions, celebrity banter, and a few surprises. The champion will be decided by the end of the night, wrapping up another year of headlines in quiz form.
