The Shattering Loss of "Gefragt - Gejagt" Hunter Klaus Otto Nagorsnik
Bommes, a loyal companion of the participants since 2015, had been with Nagorsnik through it all. Upon learning of Nagorsnik's death on April 24, 2024, Bommes was visibly affected. "He was a hero in his own right, and we forged a bond filled with laughter and camaraderie," he shares during the "NDR Talk Show" slated for May 10, 2024. What transpired that fateful week has yet to be disclosed fully. Initially, Nagorsnik did not show up at the hotel, but for the upcoming recording. According to neighbors, he retired to his apartment, lulled to sleep by his favorite tunes.
"He devoted his life to us, never wavering in his commitment to the hunter role," Bommes reflects. "We were devastated and pondered what course to take," he explains, referring to the current production week and its remaining four shooting days. "We grieved for him, paid our respects, and then, as he would have wanted, gave him a standing ovation," Bommes shares with NDR. The upcoming "NDR Talk Show" episode holds significance as a new concept will see it air simultaneously on various channels, pushing aside other talk shows.
Alexander Bommes recognized Nagorsnik as an emblem of authenticity and enthusiasm
Nagorsnik, a valued member of the "Gefragt - gejagt" hunters team since 2014, had been a fixture of the show airing on NDR. In this game, a four-person team competes against one of the quiz professionals, known as "hunters." Nagorski earned the nickname "librarian" due to his extensive knowledge. He joined the show after being discovered through his quiz club, having turned down television for decades in favor of books[8]. Until his retirement, he served as a librarian in the city library of Münster.
Even Bommes, himself, found inspiration in Nagorski's approach, extolling him as "a beacon of authenticity, education, and an appreciation for life." The new season of "Gefragt - gejagt" kicks off on May 13, 2024, on ARD. Reruns featuring Nagorsnik will also be screened. As a tribute, Bommes' TV co-host Vanessa Blumhagen (46) paid homage to her late friend and "Morning Show" host Jan Hahn (47), who passed away on the third anniversary of his death.
