Thomas Gottschalk received a lot of criticism for his thoughts in book form. However, he doesn’t have to fear that as a guest of Stefan Raab. Two reasons drive the TV entertainer into the show on RTL+, as he reveals.
Thomas Gottschalk used an appearance at Stefan Raab to extensively promote his Instagram account. The former “Wetten,das” presenter was a guest on the RTL+ show “You won’t win a million here with Stefan Raab”.
He cited two factors as his reason for participating in the show. Not both of these were probably meant seriously. He said sarcastically that he had once wanted to appear in a show with Gülcan Kamps and said uncharacteristically: “I don’t dread anything anymore.”
He then explained that he was jealous of his colleague Kai Pflaume, whose Instagram account has become something of a running gag for Stefan Raab, which has brought him many new Instagram followers. This was obviously meant to be more serious. He repeated the name of his Instagram account several times and had Raab write it on a piece of paper and hold it up to the camera.
The conversation was also about Gottschalk’s book “Unfiltered”. With this and his most recent interviews, Gottschalk has recently caused a lot of negative headlines. Raab tried to explain to the self-proclaimed “old, white man” that you can say anything these days – you just have to deal with a shitstorm. Gottschalk replied that his motto throughout his career was not to “really offend” anyone. But: “I’m now out of the age where you drive in the mainstream and you can really say what you think and that’s what I’m doing at the moment.”
Ultimately, both TV veterans came to the conclusion that social media now gives everyone the opportunity to express their opinion. “We live in a time that has never been better,” said Raab. Gottschalk, on the other hand, concluded with the statement that everyone is allowed to speak, “but very few can.”
