The comedian quotes Denzel Washington saying, "It's the little things," to summarise the expectations for the show. Torsten Straater's team is described as "completely over-motivated."
Sträter adds dry humor by stating, "So, you can count on us. For example, up to three." The show promises to deal with the small but persistent irritations of life using Sträter's signature dry humor. For the most accurate and updated details about the guest list and concept, checking the official WDR or ARD Mediathek listings closer to the show date would be recommended.
