TV column “Gottschalk celebrates – 18 again!”: Gottschalk on Bohlen: “I always understood little about music – just like Dieter”
–
All day long, the Union is fighting in the search for the right candidate for Chancellor for the federal election. In the evening, the entertainment show also gets dirty. Former master Thomas Gottschalk celebrates 18th birthdays – and presents against his current opponent Dieter Bohlen.

Finally party again! Finally 18! Unfortunately, it was half a century late, at least for Thomas Gottschalk. “Gottschalk celebrates – 18 again!” Is the name of the new show. And, that’s the good news, it’s colorful. The presenter enters the stage in a red suit. Actress Jutta Speidel follows suit – and comes with red pants. Gottschalk promises “a colorful evening”. In terms of clothing, that works out well.
Melancholy is the spice
Thomas Gottschalk introduces the second guest of the nostalgic show almost nostalgically: “Kai Pflaume is part of German television – as I used to be.” Wistfulness is the spice anyway. For the birthday, the show is digging up old television news. And what did the GDR find newsworthy on May 27, 1985? “The GDR is a state of youth,” the viewer in the east learns. In the west, the “Tagesschau” confesses from Brandt’s meeting with Gorbachev.

Pflaume grew up in Leipzig. And what did he hear on the 18th? “Life is life”, for sure. As a hotel boy, he only worked for Wessis in the trade fair hotel – and earned Westmark as a tip. He practiced business acumen early on anyway. He had relatives in the West get the “Kicker special”, then photographed the team photos and made prints in the bathroom – and sold them to his classmates.
Music? Clear. Thomas Anders brings half the Modern Talking to the stage on the ARD show. Enough too. Because: “I’m doing the planks now,” Gottschalk scoffs. And adds: “I’ve always understood little about music. Just like Dieter. “
The wild years of Jutta Speidel
With Jutta Speidel it’s off into the seventies. The actress shot before her 18th birthday on March 26, 1972, “Grün ist die Heide” on the side of pop singer Roy Black is one of her early works. At that time, however, she did not come of age until she was 21. Many other things were different. The “Tagesschau”, for example, was not archived at the time.
–
Times were obviously wild. Discovered as an actress at 15. Flown by two schools. Failed three times. With his father’s long leather coat to school, long eyelashes, long blonde wig curls in an afro look. “We snogged a lot,” she admits. “I was standing in the street in my short skirt and waving,” she says. And Gottschalk? He just drove past her.
Unity Day marijuana shirt
Singer Max Giesinger celebrated his 18th birthday on October 3, 2006 with a marijuana shirt. Photos show: The singer has already picked up the guitar at his own party. And what does the “Tageschau” report? Anniversary of German Unity with a speech by – Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel. Much has changed. One thing has remained.
Gottschalk doesn’t really listen. Jutta Speidel’s blue Beetle convertible was called Gulliver, says the actress. “Did your car have a name?” Asks Gottschalk. And with that she drove alone through Germany. “Through Italy”, corrects Speidel, because she had just described that too. Is it no longer “Wetten, dass …?” “I can do it,” he says again at the very end. As if he had to affirm it. Gottschalk has arrived in the third.
