Florian Silbereisen faces a packed television schedule at the end of the year, returning to Kai Pflaume’s annual review in Das Erste and taking the helm of the ZDF series Das Traumschiff.
The entertainer steers the ZDF television ship as Captain Max Parger on multiple voyages, starting with a journey to Bangkok on Sunday, November 22. Additional episodes air on Thursday, December 26, and Thursday, January 1, 2027, at 20:15 each evening. He also hosts the live broadcast of the Silvester-Schlagerbooom 2027 – Die Wunderlichtershow in Das Erste on Wednesday, December 31, starting at 20:15.
Between the holidays, Silbereisen trades his hosting duties for a spot as a contestant in the ARD annual review format 2026 – Das Quiz, according to tvtickets.de. Moderator Kai Pflaume leads the broadcast in Das Erste for the 19th time, while Silbereisen enters the studio after winning the quiz three times in prior years, following Barbara Schöneberger’s victory last year.
The celebrity panel features Günther Jauch, Barbara Schöneberger, and Jan Josef Liefers alongside the singer. The programme covers the most important, emotional, and entertaining events of 2026, from politics and sports to crises, personal fates, scandals, and celebrity stories.
