The decision comes after repeated backlash, including criticism of Gottschalk's remarks about singer Maite Kelly.
- Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krüger will conclude their podcast 'Die Supernasen' at the end of 2024, with final episodes set for December 17 and 31.
- The podcast, launched in April 2023, faced repeated criticism over remarks made by the hosts, including a recent comment by Gottschalk perceived as body-shaming Maite Kelly.
- Gottschalk joked about needing to 'push Maite Kelly aside' to be seen during an upcoming TV appearance, which drew significant public backlash online.
- In response to the criticism, Gottschalk defended his remarks as harmless humor, citing his history of self-deprecating jokes and longstanding relationship with Kelly.
- The podcast was inspired by the duo's popular 1980s films, but the hosts cited fatigue from ongoing controversies as a key reason for ending the show.
