LatestTV total is a German late-night television comedy talk show. The set of TV total includes a floating interview stage that can be moved from one studio corner to the other. The show featured buttons with sounds and clips before Craig Ferguson's The Late Late Show.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
TV total ran from 1999-2015 and essentially defined German millennial humor — aggressively silly, self-aware, and deeply unimpressed with celebrity culture.
The sound clip buttons predated Craig Ferguson's similar gimmick by years; Late Late Show producers openly admitted being inspired by Raab's chaotic energy.
