Sebastian Pufpaff has recharged his energy - Sebastian Pufpaff returns with 23 fresh *TV total* episodes next week
Sebastian Pufpaff is set to return with 23 fresh episodes of his popular Tuesday-night show, TV total. The new season will premiere on January 6 at 8:15 PM on ProSieben. Known for his sharp wit and satirical edge, Pufpaff has become a familiar face in German entertainment since taking over the programme in 2021.
Born Malte Sebastian Pufpaff on September 15, 1976, in Troisdorf near Cologne, he began his television career in the early 2000s. His first role was with RTL’s news editorial team, where he honed his skills before stepping into comedy. In 2004, he co-founded the cabaret trio Das Bundeskabarett, blending humour with political commentary.
By 2011, Pufpaff had launched his first solo stage programme, Warum!, establishing himself as a standout satirist. His career reached new heights when he succeeded Stefan Raab as host of TV total in November 2021. The following year, he earned the prestigious Grimme Award for his satirical series Noch nicht Schicht, further cementing his reputation. Away from the spotlight, Pufpaff lives in Bad Honnef with his wife and two children. Despite his busy schedule, he continues to balance family life with his demanding career in entertainment.
The upcoming episodes of TV total mark another milestone for Pufpaff, who has evolved from a newsroom editor to one of Germany’s leading comedians. Viewers can expect his signature mix of humour and satire when the show returns on ProSieben next week.
