Tutti Frutti (game show)

Tutti Frutti was the German version of the Italian game show Colpo Grosso ("Big Shot").

The host of the show was Hugo Egon Balder, who was supported by up to three co-hosts: The program was staged on a staggering basis in the studios of the production company ASA TV in Cologno Monzese, a suburb of Milan.

The set design, the format and the cast with each season changing were completely taken over by Colpo Grosso, as well as the song sung in Italian.

Two contestants could win points during guessing game rounds, which were invested into removing various clothing items of a stripper.

Rather, the debate in the German tabloid and quality press at the time documented the "normalization of publicly staged nudity."

[2] Financially, Tutti Frutti was a great success for a long time, as the advertising revenue far exceeded the minute price of the program.

Tutti Frutti drew attention to itself, among other things, by filing a complaint by the responsible state media authority against RTL for the display of sponsorship advertisements (hence the display of permanent commercials or the subsequent blurring of the logos), by recorders with strips in 3D (see Pulfrich effect) in the second season and through a very extensive merchandising (sound carriers, magazines, calendars, videos).
