Die beste Show der Welt

Die beste Show der Welt ("The best show of the world") is a German television show which was first broadcast on 30 April 2016 on ProSieben. In the program, presenters Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf present three independent show concepts. After all six shows have been presented, the studio audience decides which show wins the title of the "best show in the world" or the "worst show in the world". Voting devices are used by the spectators. These "remote controls" can also be used for the interactive design of the show. The moderator is Jeannine Michaelsen. In the third and fourth edition, Oliver Kalkofe commented on the events and judged the respective shows.

The program is produced by Florida TV and was awarded the Deutscher Fernsehpreis in 2017.

Show concept
Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf present three (until episode 4 up to 4) shows each with a length of about 20 to 30 minutes. The presented shows are partly new show ideas, but are also based on existing TV show formats, which are slightly modified and parodied. At the same time, the two of them may force each other to participate in a show once per episode ("Joker").

In the first four episodes, the studio audience with voting devices determined the audience for the show shown, which was shown live to the home TV viewer as a superimposed graphic. This graphic was removed with episode five on 2 December 2017. Each of the 600 people in the studio could switch on or off during the show, as if sitting at home in front of the TV, using their voting device, which acted like a remote control. Over the entire run time of the show they could be switched on or off as often as liked. The ratings were therefore close to how good or bad the show was received by the studio audience. This was only visible to the TV viewer at home, but not for the studio audience. Until the second installment of the programme, a "cloud of light" consisting of white spheres fixed above the studio and illuminated with lasers was installed, which visualized to the audience the show rating by its brightness. The more spectators from the studio audience turned on, the brighter the cloud of light became. Since the third edition, these are no longer available. At the end of a show, the average ratings are calculated and announced. Should the audience rating drop below 25% during a show, it will enter the "red area" (coloured red on the graphic). This is now also audiovisually signaled in the studio (light turns red and the picture on the video wall in the background falls apart). If the ratings stays below 25% for more than one minute, the show must be cancelled. The generated points up to that moment are forfeited.

Since the fifth episode no quota is generated during the show. Instead, viewers in the audience at the end of the show choose the show they like best from all six concepts presented. "The worst show in the world" is determined.

Joko or Klaas win a trophy for the "Best Show in the World", the German Television Award in an oversized version (referred to in the show as the "German Television Prize in XXL") as a parody of the real German Television Award.
