The third edition of the popular German talk show, "The Stefan Raab Show," aired on RTL, has sparked conversation and divided opinions among viewers. The episode, which had a lower viewership compared to the first show, attracted a total of 1.22 million viewers, giving it a 7.8% market share among viewers aged three and above.

The show, hosted by entertainer Stefan Raab, featured an unexpected performance that left some audience members looking surprised, while others were horrified. An artist showcased his genitals through acrobatic stunts, a move that was met with confusion on social media. Some viewers ironically referred to the performance as "tasteful," while others called it a "low point" after three episodes.

In a bid to regain the spotlight, RTL announced that the next show will focus on Dennis Schröder, the newly crowned basketball European champion. Dennis Schröder will appear in "The Dennis Schröder Show" and collaborate with Stefan Raab. The fourth show is expected to focus on a different topic, as it will feature Dennis Schröder.

Raab's use of offbeat humor in the show was praised by some, with others praising his courage. However, some expressed disappointment that Raab was relying too much on shock value in his comeback.

The third show also saw a decrease in viewership compared to the launch values, with 472,000 viewers tuning in, a decrease from the 530,000 viewers of the first show.

In a unique and bold move, about 20 people in the front row watched the show naked, identifying themselves as "naked activists" from the German group "NACKTionalmannschaft," who support greater acceptance of public nudity. This performance, while divisive, did not seem to affect the show's overall viewership significantly.

The third edition of the "Stefan Raab Show" on RTL has indeed sparked conversation, with viewers divided on the content and the use of shock value. As the show prepares for its fourth episode, featuring Dennis Schröder, viewers eagerly await to see how Raab will continue to push boundaries and entertain.
