Last mouse show before maternity leave: Silbereisen as a surprise guest!
On Saturday, June 28, 2025, viewers can expect a very special evening. Esther Sedlaczek moderates the last edition of the popular ARD program “The Big Mouse Show” before her maternity leave. The presenter, who is expecting her third child, will be represented by none other than the well-known Florian Silbereisen, who will appear as a “special guest”. In an interview with the Black Forest messengers Sedlaczek said that she didn't want to impose any guidelines on the experienced presenter and that it was important to her that Silbereisen approached the show with fun and childlike curiosity.
Florian Silbereisen, who is considered a big fan of “Maus”, said the temptation was great and he was really looking forward to representing him. In an initial exchange at lunch with Sedlaczek, he already gained a positive impression of the mouse universe. WDR entertainment director Karin Kuhn praised Silbereisen's enthusiasm and described him as a top-class presenter who was both humorous and quick-witted and good at dealing with children.
A colorful program
But it's not just Silbereisen who will be featured on the show. Annette Frier, Wincent Weiss and Jan Köppen will also answer the children's questions that they ask the celebrities. The questions will also include one from eight-year-old Finn, who wants to know how exactly babies live in their mother's womb.
As part of the big mouse show, exciting questions await the invited guests. This participation of children in the show shows how important it is to actively involve the young target group. According to reports from ifak children's media Children's television is not just for entertainment, but also supports the education and socialization of children. The programs are intended to help expand the younger generation's world knowledge and promote positive development.
Children's media in transition
In this day and age, the relevance of children's television has to prove itself again and again, especially in times of streaming and non-linear formats. KiKA, as the only public children's broadcaster in Germany, is under special observation. Critics particularly criticize the lack of diversity and inclusion in the program offering and call for stronger networking between ARD and ZDF in order to remain competitive.
The “Mouse Show” as part of children's television is an important tradition that not only provides entertainment, but also promotes education in an exciting format. Despite the increasing challenges posed by streaming services and private broadcasters, the show remains a central part of German children's entertainment. Next Saturday, that legacy will be preserved as we look forward to a lively and educational TV experience that will continue in its next edition with Silbereisen at the host desk in August 2025.
