The comedian Sebastian Pufpaff has been infected with the corona virus.

"Sebastian Pufpaff is suffering from Corona and unfortunately cannot moderate "TV total" tomorrow.

We promise we'll find a fantastic replacement for Wednesday," his broadcaster ProSieben reported on Tuesday.

At the same time, ProSieben made it clear: “Before rumors arise: Stefan Raab cannot take over “TV total” tomorrow.”

Berlin/Cologne – It was initially unclear whether the 45-year-old would only be out this week.

Pufpaff added on Twitter: "TVtotal is happening anyway and I can say it's going to be...wait...legendary.

As someone who has been vaccinated twice and has also been boosted, I can say that my corona course is not a footbath, but I feel well prepared and can only recommend this starting position to everyone!" The comedian did not give any details, but wrote: "A good friend takes over TVtotal and I can, may, will and must say, there is no better representation.

Interesting experience, you sit in front of the television and are overwhelmed with information about Corona and suddenly you realize, shit, I got it.”

Since last autumn, the satirist Pufpaff has been moderating the new edition of the comedy show "TV total" originally developed by Stefan Raab, and has achieved very good ratings with it.

Raab, once the figurehead, has only been active behind the scenes since then.

Although the program is recorded, it is only produced shortly before it is broadcast on Wednesday evenings at 8:15 p.m.
