There were technical problems with Barbara Schöneberger's big TV debut on "Do you understand fun?"

Suddenly the sound stopped.

The hostess had to continue moderating silently.

Berlin – It should be Barbara Schöneberger's (48) big appearance, her debut as a presenter of "Do you understand fun?" (Here all the news on the topic page).

In the run-up to the show, the presenter gave a small insight into the studio, where a lot of rehearsals were carried out for the live show.

Right from the start, however, quite a few things went wrong.

Barbara Schöneberger sings the opening of "Do you understand fun?" - Suddenly she is muted

All the cameras on the comedy show pointed to Barbara Schöneberger, who was singing in her bathrobe.

The makers had thought of a brilliant opening, with Barbara Schöneberger singing and dancing to her connection to "Do you understand fun?"

The audience clapped enthusiastically, while Schöneberger suddenly became quieter and quieter.

As soon as the song was over and the 48-year-old wanted to start the greeting, you suddenly heard nothing.

The moderator continued to talk, but the audience would probably have only read lip-reading.

It was only at 8:19 p.m. that the sound from Schöneberger’s microphone started again.
