Delay planned for "Always Sundays" as per Stefan Mross's request
In an unexpected turn of events, Matthias Reim, the acclaimed Schlager singer from Germany, revealed the reason behind his absence on the popular Sunday morning talk show "Immer wieder sonntags". During a recent broadcast on the 10th of August 2025, his son Julian Reim, a guest on the show, explained that Matthias declines appearances due to the show's early start time at 10:03 a.m., which he finds simply too early for his rhythm.
Stefan Mross, the show's host, expressed his strong interest in having Matthias Reim as a guest and responded humorously by proposing to shift the show's start time to 12:00 p.m. if Matthias agrees to appear. The audience applauded the idea, but it remains uncertain if the broadcaster will approve this change.
Matthias Reim's preference for the night-time hours is no secret. His work schedule seems to align better with the evening, and standing at the Europapark Rust at ten in the morning does not fit his routine. Despite this, Matthias Reim has not yet responded to Stefan Mross's spontaneous idea.
This offer highlights Stefan Mross’s determination to have Matthias Reim on the show, even in the face of a scheduling challenge. If the broadcaster agrees to the proposed time change, it could potentially lead to a ratings duel between "Immer wieder sonntags" and Andrea 'Kiwi' Kiewel's "Fernsehgarten" in the ZDF, which also starts at noon.
On the 10th of August 2025, "Immer wieder sonntags" welcomed a variety of guests, including Kastelruther Spatzen, Bernhard Brink, Schürzenjäger, Laura Wilde, Anna Maria Zivkov, Impulso Tenors, Rudy Giovannini, Natalie Holzner, and Mara Kayser, in addition to Julian Reim.
Matthias Reim, known for hits such as "Damn, I love you", "You are my luck", "I dreamed of you", and "Idiot", has never appeared on "Immer wieder sonntags". The exact reason for his previous non-appearances was not specified in the article.
As the situation unfolds, fans of both Matthias Reim and "Immer wieder sonntags" eagerly await the outcome of Stefan Mross's proposal and the potential shift in the show's schedule, which could bring the beloved singer onto the show for the first time. The exact schedule of guests for Andrea Kiewel's "Fernsehgarten" this Sunday remains to be seen.
Celebrities, such as Matthias Reim, often have unique schedules that cater to pop-culture trends, with Matthias Reim preferring night-time hours over morning entertainment shows like "Immer wieder sonntags". Stefan Mross's proposed time change for the show aims to accommodate Matthias Reim's style, potentially sparking a ratings duel with Andrea 'Kiwi' Kiewel's "Fernsehgarten".
