<p class="text-18 leading-17">On the RTL show “Because they don't know what's happening” An embarrassing mistake occurred on Saturday evening. Game director Thorsten Schorn congratulated Barbara Schöneberger on her birthday – and got the wrong birthday girl.</p>

<div data-testid="StageLayout.StreamItem">
<p class="text-18 leading-17">In the current edition, which is also available on RTL+, Barbara Schöneberger competed with Günther Jauch against Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krüger. In the middle of the show, Thorsten Schorn made an unpleasant faux pas. He announced: “Barbara, we thought we would give you a little joy for your birthday. Today is December 14th.” Moderator Victoria Swarovski then agreed “happy Birthday” and the audience also sang along. But Schöneberger interrupted, confused: “Um, thanks, but I have March 5th. Hello!” She emphasized: “It's not my birthday!”</p>

<div data-testid="StageLayout.StreamItem">
<p class="text-18 leading-17">Apparently there had been an embarrassing mix-up, because it was actually someone else celebrating their birthday: “Oh, then it's Mike Krüger's birthday today. Can this be?”Thorsten Schorn stated irritably. After the comedian confirmed this, he received his birthday serenade.</p>

<p class="text-18 leading-17">However, viewers were more concerned about another circumstance than the TV mishap. Because in one game, the celebrities received a puppy for every correct answer. “We thought about how we could make the points visible”explained Thorsten Schorn. There was a hail of criticism for this in an Instagram post. “Dogs are not toys, what you are doing is irresponsible and shameful”wrote one user.</p>
</div>
<div data-testid="StageLayout.StreamItem">
<p class="text-18 leading-17">“Absolutely incomprehensible how puppies are used as game points. So much stress for such little creatures. Really irresponsible”reads one comment. “Animal welfare?”can be read in the comment column. “It's not possible to use animals and especially puppies for a show these days, don't you think about it? Sweet or not”another person also said angrily.</p>
