History
The show has regular guests and revolves around comedy and singers of pop and folk music. First presented by Max Schautzer, the first broadcast was in 1995 and included performances by Roberto Blanco. Sebastian Deyle then took over as the shows presenter, however a decline in ratings resulted in Stefan Mross taking over after one year which caused a ratings recovery.
In 2010, Axel Bulthaupt presented an episode in August while Stefan Mross was absent for private reasons.
During a live show on 10 August 2014, Stefan was forced to leave the stage after chili tasting on various levels of the Scoville scale. He later collapsed behind the stage due to circulatory failure and had to be taken to hospital. The remainder of the show was taken over by performing guests Marc Pircher and Guido Cantz.
In 2014, the show celebrated its 10th Anniversary of Broadcasting with Stefan Mross as the host by airing three episodes for a longer air time of 120 minutes on 31 August and 7 and 14 September. On 5 October, "Immer wieder Stefan – Die große Jubiläumsshow" (again and again, Stefan — the big anniversary show) will be broadcast.
