Ten years and out
Elton's time on "Who Knows What?" came to an end on Tuesday, with the captain announcing his intention to spend more time with family, friends, and himself. With a decade under his belt, Elton bid farewell to the show that he'd entertained millions with for years.
Kai Pflaume, the show's esteemed host, shared a heartfelt farewell of his own: "We're extremely grateful for your enthusiasm, wealth of knowledge, and the unique charm you brought to our show, Elton. We'll miss you dearly."
With Elton's departure, many were left wondering who would step up to take his place at the quiz show stomping ground. The search seems to have, at least, temporarily, come to a standstill.
A proven winner
ARD has confirmed that the format of "Who Knows What?" will persist as it has. It's clear that authenticity and charm will continue to be the core of the series. From viewers to ARD program director Christine Strobl, everyone seems confident that the show will forge ahead.
Berndard Hoecker, a long-standing competitor of Elton since the show's inception in 2015, will also remain part of the quiz show lineup. The fate of the upcoming contender, however, remains a mystery.
The fans speak

The show's dedication to providing fun, excitement, and knowledge to its fans has never wavered. Bernhard Hoecker's continued presence is a testament to the quality and the enduring appeal of the format.
Despite Elton's imminent departure, the spirit of the show remains stronger than ever. "Who Knows What?" promises to continue surprising its viewers and delivering the thrill of a true intellectual showdown.
While we await the announcement of a new team captain, we can take solace in the fact that "Who Knows What?" will remain unchanged in its "proven form," as assured by the ARD. Until then, let the anticipation build and the excitement continue!
