Gottschalk and Krüger end the “Supernasen” podcast
The last episode of the RTL podcast with Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krüger is scheduled to appear on New Year’s Eve. Recently there has been repeated criticism of statements made in it, such as words about singer Maite Kelly.
At the end of the year the podcast of the TV and cinema heroes of the 80s will come to an end: Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krüger have decided not to continue the podcast “Die Supernasen” on RTL+. RTL announced this to the German Press Agency. Until then there are two more episodes on December 17th and December 31st. The podcast started in April 2023. A new episode came out about every two weeks.
“Bild” had previously reported that Gottschalk and Krüger had decided to end in order to avoid further shitstorms: they were tired of being constantly misunderstood. Many are just out to make a trick out of what they say.
Gottschalk criticized for body shaming
Most recently, Gottschalk was criticized for so-called body shaming because he had made a comment about the figure of the singer Maite Kelly: In preparation for his appearance on Florian Silbereisen’s show “The Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights” next Saturday, Gottschalk (74) had a conversation with his friend Krüger (72) joked that he probably had to push Kelly aside so that people could see him.
“Bild” quoted Gottschalk as saying that he believes he has already done enough gags at his own expense to be able to afford, at his age, “not to let Maite get away scot-free either.” “No one knows that better than she herself, because she is at least old enough to have heard the saying: ‘Whatever loves one another teases one another’.” By the way, Kelly is not on the guest list for the ARD “Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights”.
The podcast “Die Supernasen” alluded to old national cinema hits as an audio format. In the early 80s, Krüger and Gottschalk were considered a guarantee for full cinemas. The “Supernose” series consists of the comedies “Piratensender Powerplay” (1982), “Die Supernasen” (1983), “Zwei Nasen tanken Super” (1984) and “Die Einsteiger” (1985).
