Interpretation for Summer Holiday Recess - Smaller-Sized Vessels with a Weight Under 300 Kilograms

Get ready for some engaging and unconventional programming to fill the void left by the departure of Oliver Welke's satirical show, "heute-show"! ZDF has got you covered with a slew of replacement formats airing every Friday at 10:30 PM, serving as a tantalizing prelude to the show's grand return. Among the lineup are the well-acknowledged reportage format "heute-show spezial" hosted by Lutz van der Horst and Fabian Körner (not Koester), along with the newcomer, "heute-show extra".

This summer, prepare yourself for four eye-opening episodes of the "heute-show spezial" featuring our dynamic duo, Körner and van der Horst. Their first foray on June 13th tackles the ugly truth behind Germany's infrastructure, especially focusing on the country's dilapidated bridges. The second episode on June 20th dissects the intricacies of the coalition agreement. August will bring two more episodes, one of which will shine the spotlight on the tobacco industry.

Olaf Schubert and "Let's Dance" juror Jorge Gonzalez will also make appearances.

On July 11th, "heute-show extra - The Incredible Story of Elon Musk" arrives, allowing Valerie Niehaus to profile the tech titan while Gisa Flake, Katjana Gerz, Matthias Matschke, and Alexander Wipprecht portray fictional characters in this unique biography.

July 25th and August 1st will see the premiere of two episodes of "heute-show extra - The Quiz" with Lutz van der Horst. Gisa Flake and Olaf Schubert will join forces with two politicians to challenge their political knowledge. On August 8th, "heute-show extra - Next Stop Koester" promises an intimate chat with politicians in unconventional settings like a roller coaster ride.

Other than a few occasional appearances on the "heute-show", you'll get to know these talented hosts even better through their individual spin-offs! Keep your eyes peeled for more stellar summer programming on ZDF!

I'm not going to be a big fan of the new ZDF summer programming, as I greatly enjoyed Oliver Welke's satirical show "heute-show". Despite the upcoming shows like "heute-show spezial" and "heute-show extra", I'll miss the witty and thought-provoking content that "heute-show" provided. [movies-and-tv, entertainment]
