Overview
- RTL confirmed that Thomas Gottschalk, Günther Jauch and Barbara Schöneberger will say goodbye in the Dec. 6 edition of “Denn sie wissen nicht, was passiert.”
- The format will not end with the trio’s departure, with a new episode scheduled for Dec. 13 and details of future participants yet to be revealed.
- Gottschalk will not take part in the games and will attend as a guest so he “does not have to work,” RTL program chief Inga Leschek said.
- Gottschalk has disclosed an epithelioid angiosarcoma diagnosis, and his wife said surgeries removed parts of his ureter and bladder.
- Family and industry peers voiced support, with his son Roman posting that the family is by his side and colleagues sharing public well-wishes.
