Come May 7th, the Vatican sets the stage for its sacred conclave to elect a new Pope. But fear not, countrymen! Stefan Raab (58), the mastermind behind our favorite chaotic TV entertainment, isn't going to let this occasion slip by unnoticed. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he's whipping up a storm on RTL (yes, RTL, the same channel that brought you all the excitement) for a special throwdown titled "#DGHNDMBSR - Pope Election Special".
Raab's game show lair, "You Don't Win a Million Here with Stefan Raab," will be transformed into a giddy homage to the Vatican itself. Get ready for the "Pope of Good Mood" bringing on the thrills, the theatrics, the robes, and an atmosphere that'll make you swear the Sistine Chapel has taken up residence in Neuss! The audience won't be left in the pews either—immersion guaranteed!

Our very own Giovanni Zarrella (47) will be joining the festivities, bringing along a dash of Italian charm. But that's not all—they'll also be conducting a street poll during the 39th German Evangelical Church Convention to truly nail that holy and devout vibe.
Stefan Raab's comeback show, "You Don't Win a Million Here," made a triumphant return last autumn, landing exclusively on RTL+. Since migrating to free TV in February 2025, the show has been winning hearts and minds with its heady mix of "TV Total" and "Schlag den Raab" gameplay. With weekly episodes overloaded with laughs, teary eyes, and the odd thrown bucket of water, it's safe to say you won't want to miss a single nervous heartbeat.
And if that wasn't enough, just last week, the "Dance into May" special saw the dance floor scorching with the professional dancers Malika Dzumaev, Renata Lusin, and Massimo Sinató from "Let's Dance". Fancy footwork, here we come!
