German Talk Show “Hart aber Fair” Skips Episode for Comedy and Concert Broadcast

On Monday, July 20 2026, the German political talk show “Hart aber Fair,” hosted by Louis Klamroth, did not air its regular program. Instead, the public broadcaster ARD aired a 2024 comedy film titled “Oh la la – Wer ahnt denn sowas?” followed by a recording of the open‑air “Concert de Paris 2026” featuring more than 200 musicians. The show is on a summer break that began in June, with new episodes not expected until September.

The interruption is part of a longer‑term scheduling pause; the show first aired in 2001, moved from WDR to ARD in 2001, and was hosted by Frank Plasberg until 2023 when Klamroth took over.
