Joko and Klaas are again in the service of their employer – and have to re-stage “Dinner for One” for ProSieben. Who is playing whom?

On Tuesday evening, the ProSieben broadcaster was again just ahead of the game in the primetime program “Joko & Klaas versus ProSieben on Ice”. The penalty for the two moderators: There is a new edition of “Dinner for One” with Joko Winterscheidt (42) and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (38) in the lead roles. Now there are the first details of “New Year’s Eve for One”, which will be broadcast on December 31st (8:15 pm on ProSieben and Joyn).

The old black-and-white classic “Dinner for One”, also known as “The 90th Birthday”, is an NDR production from 1961. First broadcast on New Year’s Eve in 1972, the film is part of the New Year’s program for many. In the roughly 18-minute sketch by the English comedian Freddie Frinton (1909-1968) with his partner May Warden (1891-1978) and the presenter Heinz Piper (1908-1972), Miss Sophie invited her four closest friends to a birthday dinner. However, these have all long passed away, which is why Butler James has to take over their roles.

The new edition

In the ProSieben reinterpretation, presenter Steven Gätjen (49) becomes the conférencier, Joko Winterscheidt slips into several roles as a butler and the mistress of the house mimes Klaas Heufer-Umlauf. “But even before the first shot, Joko and Klaas toast together and with the team to celebrate the past year. Can this end well?” Announced the broadcaster in a message on Wednesday (December 22nd).

If you don’t want to miss the classic, you should keep an eye on the NDR program on December 31, 2021. The transmitter shows the sketch several times a day (3:40 p.m., 5:40 p.m., 7:40 p.m. and 11:35 p.m.). “Dinner for One” can also be seen in Das Erste at 4:45 pm.
