The German family quiz show ‘Die große Maus-Show’ recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special broadcast. The milestone episode featured moderator Esther Sedlaczek, who has hosted the program since 2023, and welcomed back former child contestants who have achieved international success, including pianist Laetitia Hahn and diver Jaden Eikermann.

During the anniversary celebrations, actress Annette Frier announced her departure from the program, stepping down from her role as team captain. Frier stated she had ‘taken a bit too much on her plate’ over the past year. She indicated that a ‘young and attractive colleague’ would succeed her in the role.

The special broadcast included various guests such as Axel Prahl, Beatrice Egli, and Wincent Weiss, while maintaining the show’s signature scientific experiments and quiz formats.
