- These stars are taking part in the summer edition
Next Saturday (August 3rd), host Barbara Schöneberger (50) will welcome viewers on the first and ORF to the prime-time summer festival of "Verstehen Sie Spaß?". For this special edition, she will be joined by prominent guests: Howard Carpendale (78), Nico Santos (31), Guido Maria Kretschmer (59), Oliver Korittke (56), Max Raabe (61), and Samu Haber (48).
Sunrise Avenue's frontman will be responsible for the musical accompaniment of the show, which this year will take place at the Ammersee. The program will also include a highlight compilation of the 20 best hidden camera clips from last year, where celebrities were either tricked or showcased their comedy skills.
Some of the pranks included are:
Guests can sing their own tune about being tricked by Schöneberger and co. For instance, Carpendale had a disastrous performance at the "Schlagernacht des Jahres" in Frankfurt due to "Verstehen Sie Spaß?". Nico Wellenbrink suddenly faced a copyright infringement of a Greek island because of his stage name Santos. And Kretschmer was shocked to find his new book turned into a nightmare of typos and falsehoods by the editor.
Meanwhile, musician Max Raabe found himself on the other side of the joke. He transformed into a rough-neck waiter with a Berlin accent in a Vienna coffee house, much to the dismay of the guests who wished they could personally send him back to Germany.
Even host Schöneberger is set to be a decoy. She posed as sommelier Paula Bosch and fed wine connoisseurs a lot of nonsense.
Samu Haber, being one of the prominent guests, will bring his charm to the prime-time summer festival of "Verstehen Sie Spaß?". During the show, viewers might get a chance to hear him sing, given that Sunrise Avenue's frontman is responsible for the musical accompaniment.
