Wer stiehlt mir die Show season 12 episode 2 Carolin Kebekus wins, Digi Mart USA News: Joko Winterscheidt has lost his hosting role for now on the German television show “Wer stiehlt mir die Show?” In the second episode of the twelfth season, Carolin Kebekus (46) defeated the host in the finale on Sunday evening, and she will moderate the next edition on November 15 at 8:15 p.m. on ProSieben, with an early preview available on Joyn.
Kebekus made clear how she sees the new role. “Now this show is mine,” she announced after her victory.
For the coming week she added, “We are going to tear this studio down.” Winterscheidt had entered the episode as defending champion after winning the premiere.
Besides Kebekus, Winterscheidt faces entertainer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla (40) and NBA star Moritz Wagner (29) this season. The finale was close and was not decided until the very end.
Kebekus had to earn her place in the final under water. In the semifinal she again faced Knossi in the category “Da habe ich doch prompter die Antwort vergessen,” where a text runs across the teleprompter faster and faster and the gaps must be filled in correctly.
The two did not sit in the studio but served as crew of a U-boat, which made the task hectic and very wet.
The wildcard contestant, 36-year-old event photographer Eli, joined the celebrity panel and made clear from the start that she had not come to watch: “I want to win the show, and I’m telling you, I will win the show.” That prediction did not come true. Moritz Wagner, meanwhile, offered some coaching: Winterscheidt had seen a video online and wanted to learn to walk as casually as a basketball pro.
The Orlando Magic player revealed his secret: “It’s about conveying no body tension at all.” He said the walk comes naturally to him and is simply the “athlete swag.”
For the mandatory music round, Winterscheidt brought his own invention, which he called a “technical revolution.” The so-called “Schupen” are tap shoes with a built-in horn. The formation “The Schupremes” used them to play songs the panel had to identify as quickly as possible.
Striped suits, hats and canes gave the segment a retro look, and the small stage was entirely black and white.
The category “Wie du mir, so ich buchstabier” was much cruder: contestants had to spell their answers using swear words. The results included coinages such as “Rosettenschlemmer” and “Rumpelfresse.”
Kebekus’s win over Knossi in the U-boat round has a small backstory. In the premiere, the entertainer had reached the finale, where Winterscheidt prevailed and secured hosting duties for the second episode.
The most emotional moment of the first episode, however, came from an audience member. Joko brought three guests from the audience onto the stage for a quiz round, including Nicole.
Her boyfriend Fabian used the opportunity to propose, and the wedding followed right away on camera. Kebekus gave the wedding speech in the semifinal, and Knossi stood in as best man.
