Moritz Wagner missed a question about darts on the ProSieben game show “Wer stiehlt mir die Show?”, SPORT1 reported.
Host Joko Winterscheidt asked contestants how many points the bullseye is worth on a dartboard, SPORT1 reported. The panel included Wagner, comedian Carolin Kebekus, entertainer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla, and wildcard contestant Eli, according to SPORT1.
“Boah, if I don’t know that, my brother is going to be so mad,” Wagner said before standing up as the audience laughed, SPORT1 reported. Wagner and his brother Franz both play in the NBA, having shared a home in Orlando while playing for the Orlando Magic until the summer, SPORT1 reported. Franz Wagner remains with the Orlando Magic, while Moritz Wagner now plays for the Brooklyn Nets, SPORT1 reported.
“Knossi” quickly explained that he knew the answer because he played with Michael van Gerwen at the Celebrity Darts World Championship, SPORT1 reported. Kebekus, Knossalla, and Eli all wrote down the correct answer of 50, but Wagner wrote down 40, SPORT1 reported.
“That hurts, right?” Wagner said to Winterscheidt, SPORT1 reported. When the audience reacted with surprise, Wagner asked with a smile, “Is that funny now, or what?”, SPORT1 reported. Wagner was eliminated second in the show after the wildcard contestant, SPORT1 reported.
In the NBA, the 2023 world champion and the Brooklyn Nets sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with two wins and eight losses, SPORT1 reported. Wagner averages 10.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, SPORT1 reported. His 57.9 percent three-point shooting percentage—hitting 11 of 19 attempts—ranks highest in the entire league, SPORT1 reported.
In “Wer stiehlt mir die Show?”, celebrity challengers attempt to take control of the program from the host, SPORT1 reported. Any contestant who wins the final against Joko Winterscheidt earns the right to host the next episode, SPORT1 reported.
Darts broadcasts air frequently on SPORT1, with the HYLO PDC Super League running free and live from Tuesday to Friday, followed by the Grand Slam of Darts starting Saturday, SPORT1 reported.
