- Quiz Master Position Up for Grabs: Steffen Hallaschka on the Hunt

In the world of German television, RTL is set to introduce a fresh and exciting addition to its lineup with the new quiz show, "7 Correct Answers - The Quiz of Know-it-alls". The show, which will air each Monday evening, has some hopes for RTL, as it aims to challenge the audience and contestants alike.

Steffen Hallaschka, a well-known figure in the German entertainment industry, has been announced as the quizmaster for this new show. Hallaschka, who shares a passion for playing and hosting quizzes, is following in the footsteps of Günther Jauch, who has been hosting "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" since 1999.

The unique twist in "7 Correct Answers - The Quiz of Know-it-alls" is that the candidate playing for money must constantly fear being replaced by another candidate if they show uncertainty. This adds an extra layer of tension to the game, as competitors have the opportunity to intervene quickly and take the candidate's place with a correct answer.

The first episode of the show features an architect candidate who struggles with a traffic sign question. The audience will decide whether there can be more than one quiz king at RTL or if Günther Jauch will continue to reign largely alone.

Up to 100,000 euros are up for grabs in "7 Correct Answers - The Quiz of Know-it-alls". The first contestant to be replaced is the one who falters during the game, with the contestant who takes their place having the chance to win the prize money.

RTL has been testing several new shows in the quiz genre, including "The Perfect Row" presented by Daniel Hartwich and "Smarter than Everyone. Beat Germany?" hosted by Sonja Zietlow. The time slot for "7 Correct Answers - The Quiz of Know-it-alls" is familiar, as it was previously used for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" hosted by Günther Jauch.

Steffen Hallaschka expresses his excitement about his new job as quizmaster for "7 Correct Answers - The Quiz of Know-it-alls". The first episode of the quiz show will air on September 1 and 8, 2025, before Günther Jauch's return to "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?".

In the first episode of the quiz show "7 Richtige Antworten - Das Quiz der Kenner" on RTL at 8:15 am, the current contestant playing for money can be replaced by another candidate if they show uncertainty, allowing the challenger to take their place with a correct answer. The contestant can win up to 100,000 euros before being replaced.

Stephanie, the first candidate, guesses "bicycle path" for a green and yellow traffic sign, causing her competitors to become restless. The audience will have to tune in to find out if she will hold on to her place or if she will be replaced by a more knowledgeable contestant.
