Thomas Gottschalk was once a celebrated TV legend, but the disastrous Wetten, dass..? finale put the showmaster in a completely new light. The 74-year-old’s dusty views seem to be out of date. Today he stands out for one thing in particular: gossiping. Together with his Supernasen colleague Mike Krüger, he now takes aim at trash TV starlet Patricia Blanco in his podcast. She is making serious accusations of bullying.
“If you eat ravioli naked, nobody wants to see it”: Gottschalk attacks reality star Patricia Blanco
We all remember back then: During the heyday of Wetten, dass..?, millions of people sat spellbound in front of their TV screens and watched as an eccentrically dressed show host accompanied confused US stars through the evening. Even then, the cringe factor was dangerously high, but in the 90s we just didn’t know any better.
In recent years, the Gottschalk persona has increasingly disenchanted itselfToday, he makes headlines mainly through controversial takes in his podcast and likes to take shots at German celebrities.
His next victim: Trash TV starlet Patricia BlancoThe 53-year-old rose to fame as the daughter of pop singer Roberto Blanco and has since been touring various reality formats. The hot-tempered diva can currently be seen in the RTL+ format Reality Queens – In High Heels Through the Jungle.

In the podcast recording from June 18, 2024, Gottschalk sneers at a scandalous video that Blanco uploaded to Instagram. In it, she shows herself eating ravioli – stark naked! The showmaster cannot resist making a derogatory comment and jokingly says to his colleague Krüger:
If you eat ravioli naked, nobody wants to see it. But I also don’t want to see Mrs. Blanco eating ravioli naked.
“It feels like some show dinosaurs become arrogant as they get older”: Patricia Blanco defends herself against nasty Gottschalk comment
Ouch, that comment hit home – because Blanco has recently started offering revealing content on OnlyFans. The reality star feels offended by this. She revealed her feelings to the Abendzeitung München:
What Mr. Gottschalk is doing is severe bullying. He puts me down and badmouths my work. He is completely negative about me. He wants to destroy me.
Patricia Blanco is personally disappointed with Gottschalk: “Mr. Gottschalk also knows me through my father, so I would have liked more loyalty.”
Blanco takes one final swipe at the ageing showmaster:
Thomas Gottschalk was a great entertainer for decades, but now he is drifting away. It seems that some show dinosaurs become arrogant as they get older.
The reality star is probably not alone in this assessment.
