Shockwaves across the ARD team: Klaus Otto Nagorsnik - missing from "Gefragt - Gejagt"
Alexander Bommes, the affable moderator, reflects on the devastating news that hit the team on April 24, 2024. A visibly affected Bommes speaks on the upcoming "NDR Talk Show" episode slated for May 10, 2024. The jovial quiz pro, fondly known as K.O., was scheduled for recording the following day but didn't show up at the hotel, according to Bommes. Neighbors claim he passed away in his apartment with the music blaring.
Reflecting on Nagorsnik's passing, Bommes shared, "He was a huge part of our lives. He reveled in the hunter's role, and we cherished him too." The circumstances called for a somber approach as the team grappled with their emotions while filming the remaining shooting days. Bommes remembers the poignant moment: "We fell silent for him, applauded for him - that's what he would've wanted. We carried on for him, but it was brutal."
Alexander Bommes salutes Nagorsnik as a paragon of authenticity, intellect, and zest for life
Over the past decade, Nagorsnik, affectionately called "Der Bibliothekar," had been a prominent figure on the "Gefragt - Gejagt" scene, nailing it in the Ü60 category. A native of North Rhine-Westphalia, he started working for the show in 2014 after being discovered through his quiz club, despite not owning a TV for decades. In a rare interview with "Münster - Menschen, Geschichten und Erinnerungen," Nagorsnik candidly shared his preference for books over TV, which he deemed more efficient. He retired as a librarian from Münster's city library.
Bommes echoes Nagorsnik's influence on the show and the quiz community, endorsing him as "a shining example of authenticity, intellect, and love for life." The new season of "Gefragt - Gejagt" is set to kick off on May 13, 2024, on ARD, paying homage to Nagorsnik's legacy, with reruns featuring his episodes as well.[1][3]
