Neo Magazin Royale (2015–2019) watch online

Neo Magazin Royale is a German satirical late-night talk show hosted by Jan Böhmermann. Produced in Cologne, it has been aired weekly on the ZDFneo channel since 31 October 2013. It is also made available in advance on the online ZDFmediathek internet page, with some segments uploaded to YouTube.

Originally called Neo Magazin, the suffix Royale was added starting with the broadcast on 5 February 2015. Since then, the show has been produced in a larger studio and Böhmermann is supported by a live band fronted by rapper Dendemann. Starting with this episode, the current episode is rebroadcast on Friday nights on ZDF as well.

The show is notorious for testing the limits of German free speech laws during the Erdogate controversy in 2016. In 2017, Böhmermann launched a Europe-wide video contest called Every Second Counts, with the videos mocking President Trump. The show is responsible for smuggling a fake contestant into the reality show Schwiegertochter gesucht (#verafake) and producing a fake video of Yanis Varoufakis showing the middle finger (#varoufake). The show has also produced various viral comedic songs.

On 8 September 2020, it was announced that the show would be returning to ZDF, starting 5 November 2020.

Böhmermann's new program called ZDF Magazin Royale started on 6 November 2020 on ZDF.
