Wissen macht Ah! is a German television programme produced by WDR. It was first broadcast in Germany on 21 April 2001 on The First channel (das Erste) and simultaneously on KiKA. The regularly broadcast 25-minute science journalism program is primarily aimed at children aged eight and over, but also appeals to many adults because of the humorous tone of the presenters. Over the course of the show's history, Shary Reeves, Clarissa Corrêa da Silva, Ralph Caspers and Tarkan Bagci have been presenters.
The programme's motto is: "Being a smartass with Tarkan and Clari" ("Klugscheißen mit Tarkan und Clari"). Its previous motto was: "Being a smartass with Shary and Ralph" ("Klugscheißen mit Shary und Ralph"). On average, over 400,000 viewers watch the show every week, with individual programmes on KiKA reaching up to 900,000 viewers. Ulrike Müller-Haupt was initially responsible for editing the programme. In 2012, those editing responsibilities were taken over by Hilla Stadtbäumer and in 2021, she was joined in this role by Christoph Reyer. After a total of 16 years, presenter Shary Reeves announced her departure from the programme in June 2017. In 2018, Clarissa Corrêa da Silva took over as presenter alongside Ralph Caspers. In September 2022, Tarkan Bagci took over Ralph Casper's presenter role.
