ProSieben Staff to Challenge Joko & Klaas Again
ProSieben will air a special 77th episode of "Joko & Klaas gegen ProSieben" on 2026-06-03 at 20:15 that again pits the presenters Joko and Klaas against numerous ProSieben employees from departments including programming, marketing, accounting, sports, IT, HR and legal. The format repeats a May 2023 special in which 777 employees participated and which set the show's all-time market‑share record (20.1% conventional, weighted 21.3%) with about 1.5 million viewers. ProSieben published a photo showing channel chief Hannes Hiller, ProSiebenSat.1 CFO Bob Rajan and corporate spokesperson Stefanie Rupp‑Menedetter. The article notes recent episodes have lower reach (under 1 million) and varying market shares, including a December 2025 low of 9.0%.

ProSieben will revive a special edition of the game show "Joko & Klaas gegen ProSieben" for its 77th episode, broadcasting on 2026-06-03 at 20:15.

Joko & Klaas Finale Delivers Strong TV Ratings
ProSieben's show "Joko & Klaas gegen ProSieben" closed its season with above-average market shares for the broadcaster, particularly among younger viewers. The season finale reached a 14% market share in the classic target group (up 1.2 percentage points versus the prior week) while averaging about 710,000 viewers. Despite the episode's relative success, overall reach for the format has declined compared with earlier years. Competing shows that evening saw mixed results: Sat.1's "Das große Backen - Die Profis" dropped in market share and averaged roughly one million viewers; Vox and Kabel Eins posted solid but lower shares and audience counts. All audience figures are reported as preliminary AGF SCOPE / AGF Videoforschung data for the broadcast day of 10 June 2026.
