The show combines lighthearted topical news with a twist: a viewer at home can win the prize pot without answering any questions in an 8-minute live final streamed from their living room. Airing daily on RTL4 from mid-August, the show features a studio host and three celebrity guests tackling questions sourced from the past 24 hours of news and social media. Viewers can register to participate through the show portal for a chance to win the prize pot.
Each episode ends with a second host surprising a registered viewer live at home, joining the studio as an extension. The final round decides whether the audience member wins the money or if it rolls over to the next day.
In Other News, Today, created by Panenka (Taboo, Switch) and currently in its third season on VRT, offers an engaging co-viewing experience for families and taps into the demand for daily-stripped, celebrity-focused content.
Lineup Industries Founder Ed Louwerse highlights the show's unique appeal and hopes for further international success.
