"Arranged months in advance": The Kaulitz brothers mock Gottschalk's cancellation of "Wetten, dass...?"

The Kaulitz twins, who are set to host the revival of the German TV show 'Wetten, dass..?' on December 5, reacted with mockery to reports that former host Thomas Gottschalk would not watch the premiere. In their podcast, the brothers joked that Gottschalk and his wife had planned other activities months in advance, speculating they might go eat kebab in Los Angeles. This reaction followed a recent interview where Karina Gottschalk confirmed the couple would not tune in because they would be traveling with friends. Thomas Gottschalk himself declined to comment further on his successors, stating that the fate of the show lies with the audience. The new episode marks a significant transition, as Gottschalk hosted the program from 1987 until 2023, while the Kaulitz twins have already received record-breaking ticket requests for the live broadcast in Halle.
