Launching live on 21 December 2024 during prime time, Stefan und Bully gegen irgendson Schnulli (Stefan and Bully against some other schnulli) marks the first time Stefan and Michael will appear together on their own show. With the new game show, RTL Deutschland is opening a new chapter in television history, in which Stefan and Michael – arguably Germany’s greatest entertainers – form a duo of talent and creativity.

In the new live event show, candidates must beat three other competitors in order to compete against the dream team of Stefan and Michael. Their opponents might be tradespeople, doctors, students, teacher or lawyers – anyone can apply!  The show will be presented by popular German TV presenter Elton, while presenter and former basketball player Frank Buschmann will commentate on the competition. Both Elton and Frank also hosted Stefan Raab’s return to TV in Der Clark Final Fight, which attracted over seven million viewers during the live broadcast on 14 September 2024.

Inga Leschek, Chief Content Officer at RTL Deutschland, says: “It sounds like an early Christmas present for all entertainment lovers: Stefan Raab and Michael “Bully” Herbig together on one stage! These two are not only united by perfectionism and a love for detail in their content, but also by an irrepressible joy of performing (not to mention Stefan's competitive nature...). We are proud that this absolute dream team is now working together at RTL Deutschland, and we can't wait to inspire our audience with the new show.”

Stefan und Bully gegen irgendson Schnulli is the latest show to be announced as part of RTL Deutschland’s exclusive five-year contract with Stefan Raab. Following his epic battle against former professional boxer Regina Halmich, Stefan announced his new show #DGHNDMBSR – Du gewinnst hier nicht die Million bei Stefan Raab (You won’t win a million here with Stefan Raab). Broadcast on 18 September 2024, the first episode set new records on streaming service RTL+, driving the highest subscription growth for an original format – 73 per cent of subscriptions came from new customers.
