Thomas Gottschalk is still the most famous TV presenter in Germany. The 72-year-old television veteran is now stepping back a little, but returns for show highlights such as Wetten, dass..? or the RTL annual view regularly back on the screens. In recent years, these wide-ranging appearances have become increasingly popular Gottschalk’s apparent listlessness on. He often seemed unprepared, forgot or confused the simplest information about his guests.
For example, the names of successful national soccer players.

Compared to the picture, Gwinn has now commented on the incident himself. In contrast to Popp, who was visibly annoyed by Gottschalk, Gwinn is now relaxed about the mistake. “Thomas Gottschalk gave me got a new nickname. If someone wants to tease me now, they call me Giuliana. Seriously: Even if the situation was strange at first, I took it with humor.”

Also because the evening was so special for me: Being on this well-known show is something big. And it took place in my hometown of Friedrichshafen. For me, Thomas Gottschalk is and will remain a TV legend.
