It was just a small glimpse into the reality of life for many women, but what Joko and Klaas showed on ProSieben in 15 minutes was a tough one.


It was just a small glimpse into the reality of life for many women, but what Joko and Klaas showed on ProSieben in 15 minutes was a tough one.

  • Joko and Klaas won 15 minutes of airtime on ProSieben .
  • They used the time to raise awareness about sexual assault  .
  • Women of various professions spoke about their own experiences with the topic.

In the 15 minutes of airtime that entertainers Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf had won on their show at ProSieben the previous evening , everything revolved around the topic of sexual assault . The author and journalist Sophie Passmann led through the exhibition "Men's Worlds", which approached the topic in various ways and in some cases stunned it.

For example, she reported that women who were raped were often asked what clothes they were wearing at the time of the attack. "As if the depth of the cleavage is to blame for some men ceasing to respect women."

Almost half of all women in Germany have been sexually harassed before.

Even in the current times of crisis, other important topics must not go under.

Joko and Klaas in 15 minutes at ProSieben: "Not for the faint of heart"

Women's clothing was visible in a dark room. Their voices sounded off-screen. They reported what clothes they were wearing when they were raped. The camera kept panning to another outfit. A dark top with a skirt, a swimsuit or jeans with a striped top. And always another report.

In advance of the show, Joko and Klaas had already announced on Twitter that it would be the most special 15 minutes that they had ever broadcast on ProSieben : "Not for the faint of heart."

Joko and Klaas at ProSieben: women shared their experiences in 15 minutes

Moderator Palina Rojinski and several other women reported their experiences with sexual harassment on ProSieben - on the Internet and in the real world. This ranged from unsolicited penis pictures and insults to reports about real incidents - in a taxi, with friends or in public. 

Because the experiences were given a face again and again, they became tangible and real for the audience. Especially since many women experience similar situations themselves.

The program from Joko and Klaas left their viewers emotionally agitated and affected. Passmann and the other protagonists managed to make an important topic public in an impressive and depressing way.

ProSieben recently shot the airport comedy "Check Check" at Kassel Airport. Leading actor Klaas Heufer-Umlauf and director Lars Jessen talk about filming in North Hesse. 

Luciano Viceconte, operator of the Il Conte pizzeria from Immenhausen, is still flabbergasted: “It was amazing what an effort was being made here.” Filming for the new comedy series “Check, Check” by ProSieben also took place in his restaurant with Klaas Heufer circulation.
