TV total Turmspringen is a reality television franchise created by German presenter Stefan Raab. The franchise involves celebrities diving into the pool.
TV total Turmspringen (TV total Diving) is an Olympic-themed variety TV show that was first aired on 16 December 2004, in the TV total show, on ProSieben and was founded by Stefan Raab and hosted by Sonya Kraus.
The idea for the German show has been adopted by US network FOX and aired as a two-hour special, renamed Stars in Danger: The High Dive, on 9 January 2013.
A similar show has been made in the Netherlands with the title Celebrity Splash! and launched in August 2012.
The format has also been sold to broadcasters in Norway, China and Canada.
In 2012, French-based production group Banijay International requested an injunction against Dutch group Eyeworks, claiming the show is a copy of the older German format, TV total Turmspringen, created by Banijay subsidiary Brainpool TV.
