On February 24, 2025, the popular German quiz show 'Wer weiß denn sowas?' featured the comedic talents of Dieter Nuhr and Martin Frank. The episode, broadcast on ARD, drew attention for its blend of humor and thought-provoking quiz questions, particularly relating to health and insurance topics.
Dieter Nuhr, known for his controversial comedy and sharp wit, has been entertaining audiences since his school days. He gained prominence through various television appearances and his own shows, such as 'Nuhr im Ersten.' Meanwhile, Martin Frank, whose career began on local theater stages, has made a name for himself with his comedic rhythms and reflections on everyday absurdities.
During the quiz showdown, Nuhr and Frank paired against the seasoned hosts Bernhard Hoëcker and Elton. The playful atmosphere created by the quizzing format allowed for witty interactions and unexpected commentary, setting the stage perfectly for the night's entertainment.
One standout moment occurred when the question of E-prescriptions for public health insurance was introduced, sparking light-hearted debate. "Ich war erst Beamtenkind und dann auf der Bühne und bin deswegen Privatpatient," Nuhr candidly explained, shedding light on his background and perspective as he navigated the question alongside Hoëcker.
When the quiz asked, “If an E-prescription for insured patients is not redeemed within 28 days, what happens?" the options were as follows: A) A fee applies upon re-issue, B) The reimbursement claim expires, but it's still valid for two months, or C) The health insurance must reactivate it. Amidst laughter, Nuhr revealed his own personal stake in the discussion, noting, "Dass einem das heute auf die Füße fällt, ist blöd," reflecting on how these questions might impact everyday viewers.
Through their collective insights, they confidently selected the answer B, affirming the validity of the prescription even after the initial expiration, much to the delight of the audience.
