In December, ZDF offers two programs that give a satirical look back at the current year.

On December 16, the "heute-show" from 10:30 p.m. looks back on the past year with Oliver Welke (56). As every year, the "Golden Full Post" is awarded, for which his colleagues Martina Hill (48), Gisa Flake (37), Dietrich Hollinder Bäumer (80) aka Ulrich von Heesen, Matthias Matschke (54), Hans-Joachim Heist (73) alias Gernot Hassknecht and Friedemann Weise (49) are expected.

In "The satirical annual review" the "frontal" authors Werner Doyé and Andreas Wiemers review the year from midnight. In just under 30 minutes, the annual best performances from politics and society are discussed and questions answered such as "Who can extend Robert Habeck's term?" or "How much 'double boom' does Olaf Scholz's ancillary cost statement have?" The program can be seen in the media library from December 13th.

The year is also summarized in several reviews on 3sat: On December 30, 3sat will broadcast "Thank you for nothing! - Best of Stand-Up 2022" at 4:30 p.m., "Urban Priol: TILT 2022 - The annual review" at 8:15 p.m. and directly in the Connection at 9.45 p.m. "Till Reiners' Happy Hour - Best of 2022".
