On August 1st, the first episode "The unbelievably smartest person in the world" flickered across the screens.
Hans Sigl's new show ran directly after "Who wants to be a millionaire", but could hardly keep viewers.
On Twitter they are upset about the new quiz show.
It has long been proven that quiz shows on German television are absolute quota guarantors.
Now “Bergdoktor” star Hans Sigl is getting his own show on RTL.
But even the first episode of "The unbelievably smartest person in the world" is not well received by the viewers.
"The incredibly smartest person in the world": ratings leave a lot to be desired
The 3-million-euro week for "Who wants to be a millionaire" started on August 1st and once again shines with strong ratings.
Immediately afterwards, the first episode "The unbelievably smartest person in the world" flickers on RTL and hopes to benefit from the strong ratings of the pre-show.
Unfortunately things are looking anything but rosy for Hans Sigl.

Because while "Who wants to be a millionaire" lures 0.61 million viewers in the target group of "14 to 49 year olds" in front of the screens, only 0.27 million stay there after the show to watch the pilot episode by Hans Sigl.
On Twitter, viewers rushed about the new quiz show: "The fact that RTL is broadcasting a program on a Monday after 11 p.m. called 'The unbelievably smartest person in the world' is really entertaining in itself," jokes one viewer.

"The title is actually wrong, not 'the incredibly smartest person in the world', but should read: 'perhaps the smartest celebrity a bit on RTL'," laughs another Twitter user.
Another laughs: "I'm amazed that they're looking for him on #RTL of all things".
