Thomas Gottschalk moderated a new episode of the ZDF cult show "Wetten, dass..?" on November 19th.

However, he drew the anger of the viewers with stupid sayings and hectic moderation.

Fans are now reacting to the confusing appearance on Twitter.

Friedrichshafen - "Wetten, dass..?" was a complete success on November 19th.

Thomas Gottschalk (72) once again delighted an audience of millions with strong bets and prominent guests.

However, his moderation left a lot to be desired, because he kept getting muddled, called his guests by the wrong name or caused absolute chaos with wild attempts at gender.

Thomas Gottschalk does not know the names of his "Wetten, dass..?" guests

Six months ago, the revival episode of "Wetten, dass..?" drew almost 14 million viewers in front of the television.

That's why fans of the show have been so excited for the November 19 edition.

It almost looked like the dress rehearsal for "Wetten, dass".

Thomas Gottschalk was extremely poorly informed about his guests and often mispronounced their names.

This was also noticeable in the spectators.

On Twitter, they taunted the moderator during the show: "Somehow Gottschalk wasn't interested in the matter at all and was noticeably disinterested," wrote a viewer.

"Do you have to worry?": Thomas Gottschalk seems confused with "Wetten, dass ..?"

"Gottschalk looks badly hit - do you have to worry?" said another viewer.

Another also seemed to worry about the moderator: "Does Thomas Gottschalk know where he is?" He asks.

Others, on the other hand, found the entire appearance of the former Haribo man successful: "Anyone who has ever had Thomas Gottschalk on the set / in the studio knows what an exceptionally fair and humanly intact professional he is," Tom Bohm defended him on Twitter.

Oliver Kalkofe also supported the moderator: "The fact that the show was poor today has nothing to do with Gottschalk's age.

In good spirits he's still great.

It's more due to a ZDF editorial team that confuses nostalgia with standstill & retro feeling with repetition.

#WettenDass didn't deserve that".

The ratings can only reflect success.

Thomas Gottschalk thought the same thing during the show, which is why he gave his biggest competitor a nasty swipe that evening.
