"The price is hot" - Exciting info on the new edition of the cult game show with Harry Wijnvoord and Thorsten Schorn
Especially the kids of the 90s might still know it: The game show "The price is hot". Fans of the "climber" and gambling can rejoice! Because: Soon the new edition of the classic will be on TV. The presenter who already led through the original version will be there: Harry Wijnvoord. He can look forward to support from Thorsten Schorn.
The chances that the concept will work are good. After all, Jörg Draeger was also recently able to celebrate another success with "Geh aufs Ganze" and conjure goose bumps on the skin and a grin on the face of many people.
The moderator team: Wijnvoord and Schorn
Back then, it was Harry and Walter Freiwald who drew people in front of their TV sets. In this edition, too, the show is hosted by presenter and "sidekick". Harry Wijnvoord is back at the start this time. For the fans, this circumstance should mean one thing: Pure nostalgia.
He is supported by Thorsten Schorn, who is openly homosexual and has been outed for years. Some viewers will probably know him as the voice of "Shopping Queen" or as a WDR2 presenter.
The fact that Schorn is gay is not new. He already openly admitted his homosexuality in 2014. Even the job as "support presenter" on "Der Preis ist heiß" is not new. Because: Already in 2017, the show celebrated a revival, at that time under the moderation of Wolfram Kohns. Unfortunately, this attempt was not crowned with great success. After 30 episodes, it was already over.
However, those responsible now seem to want to put a new focus on the show. Because: With the current attempt old and new are combined with each other. So perhaps a broader audience can be addressed in the end.
"The price is hot" relies, among other things, on the return of old games
There simply need to be some constants in life. This opinion also seems to be shared by those responsible behind the new edition of "The Price is Hot". Therefore, particularly popular games will also celebrate a revival. So anyone who fancies "Kraxelhuber" or "Lauf & Tausch", for example, will definitely get their money's worth. How the new concept with the alternative influences will be received and whether the magic around estimating prizes is still tangible will then be shown at the beginning of May.
That's exactly when the first episodes are scheduled to air.
What is "The Price is Hot" about?
The basic concept of "The Price is Hot" is actually quickly explained. Because: The task of the candidates, who were largely drawn spontaneously from the audience at the time, is to guess prizes.
Questions such as "How much does half a kilo of flour of brand XY cost?" or "How much do I have to pay for a kilo of tomatoes?" should ideally be easy to answer (or at least "approximately"). Two basic requirements: Please estimate as accurately as possible and do not overbid.
Der Preis ist heiß" was particularly successful in the 1990s, for example in parallel with other classics such as "Wheel of Fortune" and "Family Duel.
And since the aim here is usually not to value "special products" but everyday objects, anyone can take part.
