Bidding Farewell to Elton on "Who Knows What?": A Decade-Long Journey Ends
Elton withdrew from the ARD program "Who Knows?"
Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Email Print Copy Link After an extraordinary run of ten years, Elton, the charismatic puzzle master, is hanging up his crown on the ARD show "Who Knows What?" The decision wasn't taken lightly by the 53-year-old entertainer, but he yearns for more personal time.
Taking a break from the small screen, Elton is parting ways with the ARD quiz show "Who Knows What?" The ARD announced that Kai Pflaume, the show's host, will bid adieu to Elton in a special episode slated for April 26. Explaining his decision, Elton confessed a longing for more quality time with his family and himself.
Over the years, Elton and his fellow crew members fostered a bond akin to a spectacular team. In addition to Pflaume, Bernhard Hoecker was a constant presence as a fellow puzzle master. As a token of appreciation, Elton praised the ever-friendly, light-hearted, and endlessly amusing camaraderie they shared.
Elton's Future: New Ventures Await
Elton's TV journey began as a show intern alongside Stefan Raab, and over the years, he became Raab's trusted sidekick. Recently, Elton participated as a juror in the multi-part German preliminary round for the Eurovision Song Contest, though he had to miss the finale due to a personal obligation.
Nevertheless, the entertainment industry hasn't seen the last of Elton. On Saturdays (and in advance on RTL+), Elton will reappear alongside Tim Mälzer and Knossi with new episodes of their popular show "Three against one - The Champions' Show." Additionally, Elton can still be found hosting shows like "Stefan and Bully against anyone" or "Eltons 12."
While there's no clear information regarding Elton's future projects, it's safe to presume he'll be dedicating himself to personal endeavors, taking a well-deserved break from the exigent TV schedule[1]. The search results offer no specifics on upcoming appearances or roles for Elton post-"Who Knows What?"[1].
