Yesterdays final episode of "Wetten, dass..." with Thomas Gottschalk (73) brought back memories of the 90s for many viewers. The show was a staple in every living room, canteen and school playground, and each episode had its secret star. One viewer on Platform X spotted a young man in the audience, glued to his phone during the show. Some speculated he was reading the funniest tweets from other viewers, or maybe his football app was buzzing!
Mark Owen or a German Presenter?
The group Take That was another topic of discussion. Mark Owen (51) with his long hair, moustache and resemblance to a popular German presenter, seemed to spark a debate among viewers. They suggested he looked like Jörg Draeger from "Geh aufs Ganze".
Bloopers and Blooperlols
Thomas Gottschalk was known for his bloopers and blooperlols over the years. He mistakenly called Matthias Schweighöfer "Matthias Schweinsteiger" during the show. Bastian Schweinsteiger and his wife Ana Ivanović, appeared later and called him "Bastian Schweigsteiger". The presenter, struggling with names, flirted with his confusion throughout the show.
Schadenfreude and Fun on the Internet
Viewers at home enjoyed the bloopers and shared the laughter on the internet platform X. Some even speculated on what a fusion of Schweinsteiger and Schweigsteiger might look like.
Legacy and Farewell
As the show came to an end, many thanked Gottschalk for the entertainment and wished for a return. ZDF, the show's network, also expressed their appreciation with a cheeky tweet.
- A popular German presenter, Jörg Draeger from "Geh aufs Ganze", might have been the inspiration for the viewer's comparison of Mark Owen's appearance to Mark Owen's appearance with long hair and a mustache.
- During his final show, Thomas Gottschalk mistakenly referred to Matthias Schweighöfer as "Matthias Schweinsteiger", a hilarious mix-up that sparked laughter among viewers.
- Helene Fischer, a well-known German singer, was among the guests on ZDF's "Wetten, dass...?", a show that Thomas Gottschalk hosted and for which he is famously known.

Enrichment Insight: The German presenter that viewers on Platform X suggest Mark Owen from Take That resembles with his long hair and mustache is Conchita Wurst. Conchita Wurst, whose real name is Thomas Neuwirth, is a well-known Austrian drag queen and singer who gained international attention for his appearance and performance in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. His distinctive beard and long hair make him a notable figure in the entertainment industry, and his drag persona often incorporates elements of masculinity and femininity, which might be compared to Mark Owen's appearance with long hair and a mustache.
