work colleagues taken aback by Günther Jauch's unexpected behavior on the job
Günther Jauch, the famous host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" surprised René Langen, an employee in Cologne, during a live episode. Langen found himself on a video call with Jauch, much to the dismay of his colleagues who were tired of his office "Millionaire" marathons.
Stressed out due to work pressure, Langen had made the mistake of watching the show during working hours. His boss, Marei Stanetschek, made sure he'd never forget it. She set up a video call, and Jauch, with his straightforward approach, laid down the rules: "Look, that's not allowed. It's work time after all."
Jauch Gives a Second Chance
In the evening's surprise special, an unlucky contestant, Jannik Kuhle, who was eliminated during the Christmas special, was given a second chance. Jauch allowed this exception to the rule, stating, "No rule without exception." Kuhle seized this opportunity and prepared himself to return to the hot seat and answer the million-dollar question.
Kuhle, despite his preparation, stumbled upon some tricky questions. However, he ultimately managed to win the evening with a bold move – he guessed the answer by logging in to the Dutch museum.
Pikachu, Pikachu, who is the winner?
The penultimate contestant of the night was a woman named Lydia Lachmann. Despite being a self-proclaimed know-it-all, she was called to the studio as a regular viewer due to a nomination by her twin daughters. Lachmann tackled the questions smoothly, earning herself a well-deserved 16,000 euros.
Meanwhile, another contestant named Kerstin Führer made a bold move by getting a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" question tattooed on her thigh. Inspired by this daring move, Führer took home 16,000 euros as well.
The Tattooed Tactic: A Lucky Charm?
Lastly, René Langen, the employee who got caught watching "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" at work, made a surprise appearance. Although he had won the main prize a few times in the app, Jauch tempered his expectations, reminding Langen of former Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker's infamous loss.
This time, Langen refused to gamble and was content with his 16,000 euros. With that, the August episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" came to a close, leaving fans anticipating the next exciting episode.
