Thomas Gottschalk Shares Video Message Ahead of Farewell TV Appearance on RTL

RTL says he will attend as a guest to enjoy the farewell evening.

Overview

  • In an Instagram video posted this morning, the 75-year-old told fans not to worry and invited viewers to join his send-off on “Denn sie wissen nicht, was passiert.”
  • After revealing an epitheloid angiosarcoma last week, reports say he underwent two operations with parts of his ureter and bladder removed, and follow-up radiotherapy is planned.
  • RTL confirms tonight’s broadcast is the last outing for the Jauch–Gottschalk–Schöneberger trio, with Gottschalk appearing as a guest rather than working.
  • He also posted a note referencing ZDF’s concurrent “Ein Herz für Kinder,” telling followers they may donate there but should watch his farewell on RTL.
  • His wife has described strong opioid side effects and said their move to a new home near Munich has been delayed, so Christmas will be kept simple among moving boxes.
