He is the king of the Saturday evening show and a constant guarantor of success: the BAMBI 2011 in the “TV Event of the Year” category goes to Thomas Gottschalk. The BAMBI jury’s reasons: “Thomas Gottschalk’s success with ‘Wetten dass ..?’ is unique. It is because of him that families sit down in front of the TV on Saturday evening. He doesn’t need a script and doesn’t play a role; viewers sense that and appreciate it. Gottschalk relies on himself and his respect for his guests. He has the talent to deliver spontaneous punchlines and the instinct for the right words at the right moment. He proved that quite emphatically on ‘Wetten dass …?’ live from Mallorca”.
