BR Fernsehen – "Der 72h Talkshow-Weltrekord – Das schaffst Du nie!"

Superfilm Filmproduktions GmbH for ARD-alpha and Funk (Studio & control room)

In November 2019, presenters Ariane Alter and Sebastian Meinberg took on a remarkable challenge: officially cracking the world record for the longest live talk show in the world.

Supported by PLAZAMEDIA on behalf of Superfilm Filmproduktions GmbH, across 72 hours of non-stop broadcasting, the pair welcomed over a hundred different guests and music acts, with whom they cooked, drew, exercised and sang.

The show was produced in our studio 5 with in-house HD TV control room and accompanying highlights edit. All set conversions, soundchecks and audience changes had to be done while the show was on air and required ten constantly overlapping staff changes among the production crew.

"Der 72h Talkshow-Weltrekord" [The 72h talk show world record] was broadcast live on ARD-alpha and the Funk YouTube channel and is available on YouTube.
