Joko and Klaas Vacation Show Ditches Competition and Madness
DWDL.de reviews the new ProSieben show 'Joko und Klaas machen Urlaub' (Joko and Klaas Go on Vacation). The show follows German entertainers Joko and Klaas on an Icelandic road trip without games, competitions, or scoring. The first season recently started on Joyn and airs Wednesdays at 8:15 p.m. on ProSieben. Critic Alexander Krei notes the format sits somewhere between a travel magazine and a reality show. The entertainment value comes from the two hosts' contrasting personalities and spontaneous moments rather than stunts. The review highlights scenes such as a lava field visit and a tomato-themed restaurant, and notes the show is less extreme than their previous formats like 'Duell um die Welt.'

The show's format remains unchanged: live episodes in different locations, three contestants per episode, 25 quiz rounds and a €100,000 prize for the contestant who answers the 25th question correctly. Ahead of the quiz season, Joyn will premiere a six-episode documentary series "Joko & Klaas machen Urlaub" on 26 August; ProSieben will broadcast three episodes on 2 and 9 September. Both the quiz and the documentary are produced by Florida Entertainment. The article was published by Alexander Krei on DWDL.de on 2026-08-12.
