Thomas Gottschalk surprises again with his appearance

 

 

Many Romys for Tommy

With that, he turned to the Austrian director Otto Retzer, who was standing next to him. “Otto, for you, that would even be a suggestion for a film, a Romy for Tommy, but I think in this case a series would be better, the many Romys for Tommy.” He continued stammering, repeating the words Romy and Tommy several times. “It doesn’t quite rhyme, unfortunately, I have to say. I’m used to things rhyming. But I didn’t think it through that much, just like I haven’t thought through many things I’ve said in my entire career.”

Then, looking down at the floor, he counted down the time. In television broadcasts, countdown clocks show how much time the presenters have left. “30, I have 29 seconds left, 28, 27, 26, 25 – here the time is running down, you can see how much time you have left, but where’s the Romy?”

To these words, “Bergdoktor” actor Hans Sigl entered the stage: “A good question. Relax, Tommy.” The time didn’t matter now, because “you’re Tommy.” The two took a selfie on stage, and Gottschalk appeared noticeably more relaxed. As the host of “Wetten, dass..?”, Gottschalk often had difficulty keeping to broadcast schedules. The 75-year-old is one of the most successful showmasters in German television history.
