Söder Downplays Daughter’s TV Gaffes on ProSieben’s “Deutschlands dümmster Promi”

He casts the on-air lapses as her decision within a format built to reward errors.

Overview

  • At the Bild100 event in Berlin, Markus Söder said he is always glad his daughter knows who the Bavarian minister-president is, calling that the most important thing.
  • Söder emphasized that participating in the show is Gloria-Sophie Burkandt’s choice and said she enjoys it.
  • On the program, Burkandt did not recognize former chancellors Helmut Kohl and Konrad Adenauer, misidentified Kohl as a Social Democrat, and struggled to define the SPD acronym.
  • The ProSieben quiz inverts typical rules by incentivizing quick elimination, and Burkandt remains in the competition in episode four.
  • After the broadcasts, Burkandt wrote on Instagram that her generation is informed yet may forget figures from the past and added, “I am not Miss Perfect.”
