Thomas Gottschalk could see a return to “Wetten, dass…?” introduce. However, he doesn’t believe in a comeback.
Thomas Gottschalk (74) could return to the ZDF show “Wetten,dass..?” obviously imagine. “If it were desired, I would be the last person to refuse,” said the moderator in the podcast “Bosbach & Rach – Die Wochentester” for “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” and Editorial Network Germany, which appears on Wednesday.
“I’m not someone who forces myself”
In it, Thomas Gottschalk explains, according to a statement: “I still have my seven things together, I still have my marbles in my head and I already know who Iris Berben is and who Wolfgang Bosbach is. I can tell the two apart well. I’m a human being, who says: To all men of good will I will give them what they want and what I can and what I have.” The 74-year-old added: “But if there’s no need, I’m not someone who imposes myself. I can’t call ZDF and say: Friends, I’d like to.”
In the podcast with Wolfgang Bosbach (72) and Christian Rach (67), Gottschalk was asked whether he would be there if ZDF gave him a free hand in selecting the stars. Gottschalk replied: “Of course your mouth is watering, but ZDF has my phone number. And ZDF would have contacted you long ago if this opinion existed. But it doesn’t exist, and I think that’s a mistake. “
Gottschalk’s last “Wetten,dass..?” issue ran a year ago
Thomas Gottschalk, who began his career at Bayerischer Rundfunk and with the program “Na sowas!” celebrated his breakthrough on television, took over the ZDF evening show “Wetten,dass..?” in 1987. In November 2023, after a few breaks, the 74-year-old presented his 154th and final “Wetten,dass…?” program. On October 16th, the presenter will publish his new book “Unfiltered: Confessions of someone who can’t keep his mouth shut.”
