Seeking a New Quiz Host: Steffen Hallaschka

In the world of German television, a new quiz show is set to shake things up. "The Know-It-All Quiz" will air on RTL, taking over the time slot previously occupied by "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?". The show will premiere on September 1 and 8, 2025, at 8:15 PM.

Steffen Hallaschka, a newcomer to RTL's quiz shows, will take the reins as host. This marks his debut as a quizmaster, and he's ready to put his knowledge to the test. Hallaschka replaced the legendary Günther Jauch, who had been the quiz king at RTL for quite some time (for now).

The first episode of "The Know-It-All Quiz" saw an architect named Stephanie facing a challenging question about a traffic sign with the colours green and yellow. Stephanie admitted that she doesn't usually think about traffic signs, and her competitors became restless as she pondered her answer. If a player shows hesitation, their competitors have the chance to intervene with a correct answer.

The format of the show allows for quick contestant changes, adding an extra layer of excitement. Contestants playing for money must constantly worry about being replaced by another contestant. The potential prize money is up to 100,000 euros.

The audience will play a crucial role in deciding if there can be more than one quiz king at RTL. Daniel Hartwich and Sonja Zietlow, hosts of "The Perfect Row" and "Smarter Than Everyone. Beat Germany?", respectively, will guide viewers through the new show.

RTL has tested several new quiz shows recently, including "The Perfect Row", "Smarter Than Everyone. Beat Germany?", and now "The Know-It-All Quiz". With its engaging format and high stakes, "The Know-It-All Quiz" is set to become a must-watch for quiz enthusiasts.

Before its TV premiere, "The Know-It-All Quiz" will be available on RTL+, giving viewers a chance to get a head start. Tune in on September 1 and 8, 2025, to witness the start of a new era in RTL's quiz show history.
