Raab Show Didn't Start Well on TV - Stefan Raab’s *The Unquiztables* returns with a second shot at quiz show glory

Stefan Raab's new quiz show, The Unquiztables, is set to return to RTL for a second episode on November 22, following a modest but promising premiere. The show, hosted by Stefan Raab and Elton, drew an 8.3% market share among the 14-49 demographic, with nearly 300,000 viewers tuning in.

The first episode aired on November 15 at 8:15 p.m., facing stiff competition from ARD's Tagesschau news bulletin at 8:00 p.m., which secured a 20.6% share. Despite this, The Unquiztables managed to attract a respectable audience, indicating potential for growth.

Hosted by Stefan Raab and Elton, with Laura Wontorra presenting, the show features the duo going head-to-head against five contestants. The show's unique format and charismatic hosts have been praised for bringing a fresh energy to the quiz show genre.

Meanwhile, ZDF's Wilsberg episode 'Phantom Death' led the 14-49 demographic with an 11.1% share and 427,000 viewers, showcasing the competitive landscape of German primetime television.

With a second episode of The Unquiztables scheduled for November 22, RTL is banking on the show's potential to grow its audience. The show's unique format and engaging hosts have shown promise, and with the right marketing and timing, it could become a strong contender in the primetime quiz show scene.
