History
The first incarnation of the show aired from December 5, 1995 in the Tuesday-Saturday 11:15 pm time slot. The shows from Tuesday to Friday were live on tape, and the Satuday shows were live. Over time, the Saturday shows were phased out. From June 30, 2003 until the end of its first run on December 23, 2003, it also aired Monday shows.
Schmidt then moved to Das Erste with his band leader Helmut Zerlett, but without his sidekick Manuel Andrack. Schmidt moved back to Sat.1 beginning from September 13, 2011, hosting two shows a week every Tuesday and Wednesday at 11:15 pm.[3]
The format of the show is similar to American late night talk shows, with a monologue in the beginning, followed by comedy skits, interviews, and a musical guest.
