The “Wetten,dass…?” live show on November 25th will be the last edition with Thomas Gottschalk. According to previous information, the broadcaster wants to decide after the broadcast what will happen next with the format.
The entertainer Thomas Gottschalk will perform his last “Wetten, dass…?” take the stage completely solo in November. “Thomas Gottschalk is the sole host of the show,” explained a ZDF spokeswoman when asked by the German Press Agency. In August of this year, the broadcaster confirmed the 73-year-old Gottschalk as the host in Offenburg, but did not provide any details about the question of a co-host.
At that time, however, it became clear that Michelle Hunziker should no longer co-moderate. Gottschalk wrote about her on Instagram: “Some people will miss her in my last edition of “Wetten,dass…?” and perhaps forget that it was I who brought her onto the show and that ZDF She didn’t put her at my side as a “supervising night nurse” because I didn’t know what was going on anymore. Some people assume that.”
In 2021, ZDF initially re-released the TV classic as a one-off Saturday evening show with Gottschalk and Hunziker. After the success with a good 14 million viewers, two further editions were announced for 2022 and 2023. In 2022, more than 10 million people watched the spectacle.
