Thomas Gottschalk to miss Wetten, dass..? revival
Former longtime host Thomas Gottschalk and his wife, Karina, will not watch the upcoming revival of the ZDF entertainment show “Wetten, dass..?” on December 5. Karina Gottschalk stated that the couple will be out with friends rather than staying at home for the broadcast.
The special edition will be hosted by Bill and Tom Kaulitz. While former hosts Wolfgang Lippert and Frank Elstner expressed support for the Kaulitz brothers as a “courageous decision” and a “brave experiment,” Gottschalk remained diplomatic, stating that the fate of the show lies in the hands of the audience.
On a personal note, Karina Gottschalk shared that the couple is enjoying life following Thomas Gottschalk’s battle with cancer, noting that he is currently cancer-free. The revival has seen significant public interest, with approximately 288,000 ticket requests submitted to the ZDF.
