Stefan Raab brings poker fever back: Raab’s Poker Night” starts soon!

Stefan Raab, the man of entertaining TV moments, returns to the screens with a new show! In the exciting show “Raab's Poker Night”, the 58-year-old entertainer will take a seat at the poker table together with his long-time colleague Elton and three other prominent guests. As RTL announced, the first episode of the show starts on February 27th at 10:35 p.m. Players will gamble for an impressive jackpot of 100,000 euros in the popular “Texas Hold’em” variant. A wildcard winner who qualifies through qualifying tournaments on GGPoker has a unique opportunity to bluff and win with the stars. Poker expert Michael Körner will accompany the action-packed scenes as a commentator with insider knowledge and exciting insights krone.at reported.

RTL falls back on old successes

Despite the lack of success, RTL is obviously sticking to the tried and tested concept of Raab's previous shows. The return of “Raabs Poker Night” also shows that the station is reviving old formats, which raises questions about creativity. While Raab's previous poker show on ProSieben suffered from moderate viewer interest in its final years, RTL hopes that the new edition will attract more viewers. The last season of Poker Night, which was broadcast until 2016, only achieved single-digit market shares, which were less than half a million viewers in December 2015. Clinging to such nostalgic concepts could be risky because audiences have evolved over the years, explained t-online.de.

A total of six episodes of “Raab’s Poker Night” are planned for this year. Will Raab manage to captivate the audience again? Anticipation for the first show is growing, and fans are hoping for an exciting mix of thrills and entertainment as they relive the charm of an old format.
