Raab Hit by Wrecking Ball in Show - Stefan Raab's New Show Pits Generations Against Each Other in Pop Culture Battle
Stefan Raab's latest television project has hit the screens with a playful twist. Who Knows When What Was? – The Generational Showdown premiered on Saturday, bringing together three age groups for a battle of knowledge. Co-hosted by Barbara Schöneberger, the show promises a mix of humour and nostalgia across six pop culture categories.
The new RTL series tests contestants on pop culture, television, music, and contemporary history. Each episode pits different generations against one another, challenging their recall of past trends and events. The format blends competition with light-hearted entertainment.
A preview clip from the show went viral before the premiere. It featured Schöneberger dressed as Miley Cyrus, swinging on a wrecking ball. Raab, playing along, pushes her mid-swing—only to get struck by the ball himself. The moment quickly became a talking point ahead of the launch. The first episode aired on Saturday and is now available for streaming on RTL+. The show was officially announced on February 18, 2026, but no details on audience reactions or ratings have been released yet.
The premiere marks Raab's return to a regular hosting role, this time alongside Schöneberger. The show's mix of trivia and physical comedy aims to entertain viewers across age groups. Future episodes will continue the generational face-offs, with more clips and challenges expected.
