The upcoming week on RTL will see a new addition to their lineup, as the fourth edition of the "Stefan Raab Show" transitions into the "Dennis Schröder Show." The show, co-hosted by Raab, promises to deliver "15 minutes of absolute excellence" featuring the freshly crowned basketball European champion, Dennis Schröder.

Schröder, a German professional basketball player currently with the NBA team Sacramento Kings, has made a name for himself both on and off the court. He became widely known for winning the 2023 World Championship and 2025 European Championship with the German national team, being named Most Valuable Player in both tournaments.

The "Stefan Raab Show" has been a staple on RTL, with its third edition sparking conversation due to the presentation of an artist who showcased his genitalia through acrobatic stunts. The audience was divided in their reactions, with some viewers ironically describing the performance as "tasteful," while others expressed disappointment that Raab relied too heavily on shock effects.

Despite the controversy, the show managed to attract a significant audience. "Successful Day 3" of the "Stefan Raab Show" had 1.22 million viewers, and in the 14-49 age group, the show scored a 12.1% share (472,000 viewers). However, it's worth noting that the ratings for the "Stefan Raab Show" have slightly dropped compared to the launch values.

The audience for the "Stefan Raab Show" is crucial for advertising purposes, as stated by RTL. The next show on RTL, the "Dennis Schröder Show," is expected to draw a similar level of interest, given Schröder's popularity both in basketball and in Germany.

On social media, many viewers reacted with confusion to the recent performance on the "Stefan Raab Show." It remains to be seen how the "Dennis Schröder Show" will be received, but with Schröder's charisma and the promise of entertainment, it's sure to be an exciting new chapter in RTL's lineup.

Meanwhile, around 20 people in the front row of the third edition of the "Stefan Raab Show" caused a stir by watching the performance naked, identifying themselves as "naktivists." Whether this trend will continue in the "Dennis Schröder Show" remains to be seen.

In conclusion, the "Dennis Schröder Show" is set to be a highly anticipated event on RTL. With Schröder's charm, the promise of entertainment, and the potential for continued controversy, it's sure to keep viewers talking. Tune in to RTL next week to witness "15 minutes of absolute excellence."
