Thomas Gottschalk Announced as Show Host - Criticism by media over Jauch's headline.
Thomas Gottschalk (age 74) and Mike Krüger (age 72) tackle the tabloid press in their recent "Supernasen" podcast episode available on RTL+. They are responding to an advertisement from the magazine "Das Neue Blatt" featuring "shocking revelations" about Günther Jauch (age 67). The provocative cover headline read, "Has his wife thrown him out?"
Going back to the source, Gottschalk had discussed his experience of filming "Denn sie wissen nicht, was passiert!" on the RTL show, where he often accompanies Günther Jauch (age 67) and Barbara Schöneberger (age 50) on weekends in Hürth near Cologne. Krüger mentions in the new episode that Jauch mainly stays at a "cheap student room" in Cologne during the week.
Gottschalk debunks controversial headline
From this small detail, "Das Neue Blatt" fabricated the headline stating that Jauch's marriage to his wife Thea (age 66) had ended. "He's hardly at his family villa in Potsdam anymore," the tabloid claimed, referencing Gottschalk's podcast. However, Gottschalk denied this rumor in the latest episode. "I don't care about other people's marriages," he asserted.
The Supernasen then joke about the sensationalist headlines of tabloid newspapers. Krüger recalls a story about Steffi Graf (age 54) and Andre Agassi (age 54) allegedly separating due to driving home in different cars. Gottschalk brings up his acquaintance Jauch again, referencing a headline about a crash at Jauch's home during construction.
"We've had our time": No jealousy towards the Kaulitz brothers or Kai Pflaume
The article from "Intouch" featuring excerpts from a previous "Supernasen" podcast fueled further controversy, with the headline implying that Gottschalk was unhappy about the Kaulitz twins (age 34) advertising for McDonald's instead of the Supernasen as they did in the 1980s. Additionally, the article suggested that Gottschalk envied Kai Pflaume (age 57) for interviewing Kim Kardashian (age 43) at the Festival of Online Marketing Rockstars or Jauch for announcing the German team for the European Football Championship.
Setting the record straight, Gottschalk states that he and Krüger praised the Kaulitz twins. They now primarily follow a vegan diet and appreciate not being asked to promote McDonald's potato fries, as this would be a poor fit for them. "We've had our time," Gottschalk concludes.
