For twenty years, presenter Jan Kraus has been entertaining viewers in the best TV late night show! However, even he himself had no idea who would appear in the anniversary episode of the show and how the roles would be divided.
The special episode will feature presenters Libor Bouček, Daniela Brzobohatá, Adéla Vinczeová, Leoš Mareš, actors Jiřina Bohdalová, Bolek Polívka, Ivana Chýlková, musicians Bára Basiková, Michal Pavlíček, cardiologist Petr Neužil and, of course, Jan Kraus – for the first time in the role of an interviewee, as well as dozens personalities in the audience.
While Jan Kraus has no idea how Wednesday evening will go, this time his colleagues, moderator aces: Daniela Brzobohatá (formerly Písařovicová), Libor Bouček and Leoš Mareš will unexpectedly appear in the role of moderators. “The basic idea from Simona Matásková, who invented the whole thing, is that Jan Kraus will be in the role of a guest today,” explained Leoš Mareš on the Jan Kraus Show, and Libor Bouček paid tribute to Jan Kraus as their great role model in his opening remarks.

Then the main star of the evening – Jan Kraus – came to the stage to a standing ovation from the standing applauding audience. “I’m out of sorts today, but to tell you the truth, I don’t mind,” he said instead of his usual introduction, taking his first seat on the iconic red couch reserved for guests.

Jan Kraus recalled his first broadcast
“It’s very comfortable compared to this,” Kraus gloated, gesturing toward his usual seat behind the desk. Seated comfortably, he then enthusiastically nodded to the audience, where he recognized a number of his close friends and, of course, his wife, Ivana Chylková. Although he acknowledged that twenty years is already a reason to celebrate, he admitted that he himself is rather reserved when it comes to celebrations. “I have respect for people celebrating as much as I have respect for burying. I respect all of this, but I’m not a person of those events,” explained Kraus. “I don’t plan celebrations, I quite like to avoid them, but it’s not possible here, because Simona Matásková is here, which is a pillar of the show. If she hadn’t, there would have been three episodes and then it would have ended due to a lack of guests. And she loves parties,” added the quirky presenter.

It is also an opportunity to remember the very beginnings. “After the very first show aired, letters came in and I was delighted that people were writing to me and that I was on TV. And the first letter began: ‘We were waiting for you, you beast, and for your blood Chylkova. I’m writing this for all of Karvina,'” the moderator recalled his beginnings. And also for various hot moments in the original talk show Sauna on Prima. “It was an excellent preparation, you can never forget it,” Jan added with a laugh. “I always go to a program full of responsibility, but I never know what will happen. And that’s what I really enjoy about it. It makes him a bit alien,” concluded Jan Kraus in the premiere of an exceptional episode of the Jan Kraus Show, which you will see on Wednesday at 9:40 p.m. on Prime.
Leoš Mareš, Daniela Brzobohatá and Libor Bouček also appeared in an exceptional part of the program:
