Günther Jauch is horrified: with a simple "Who wants to be a millionaire?" question, only 94 percent of the audience were correct.
The moderator mercilessly presents the others as punishment.
Cologne – When a “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” candidate doesn’t know what to do next, she asks the audience.
So far, so normal.
But Günther Jauch (66) is appalled that not all of his studio guests know the right answer.
In front of the running TV camera, he introduces the false tellers.
"Who wants to be a millionaire" candidate needs help from the audience for the 2000 euro question
Candidate Anita Kavajin made it to the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" Chair, but she doesn't know what to do with the 2000 euro question.
When Günther Jauch asked her: "Who can be happy about the award 'Animal of the Year 2023' - awarded by the German Wildlife Foundation?", she cannot choose between A: garden dormouse;
B: balcony snorers;
C: basement dreamers and D: attic bums decide.

It quickly becomes clear that only a joker can remedy this and Anita Kavajin decides to question the audience.
94% of the studio guests then also vote for the correct answer A, the garden dormouse.
94% for such a simple question?
Günther Jauch found far too little and went in search of the 6% who were wrong here.
Günther Jauch exposes studio guests
He finds what he is looking for in the first row: Four studio guests who have chosen the wrong answer are sitting next to each other.
"Here, both he and she, and she, and he pressed 'attic bum'," explains Günther Jauch while pointing to the guests in the audience.
"Who wants to be a millionaire?" not only a hit in Germany - TV show with several offshoots:
Not only in this country has "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" been a real ratings hit for years, the TV show originally from Great Britain (there: "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?") has also developed into a real mass phenomenon internationally.
The quiz show has been licensed in over 100 countries worldwide, including Albania, Austria, Belgium, Turkey, the Netherlands, Italy, Vietnam, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland.
The program sequence, the optics and the music are often almost identical.
They are visibly embarrassed that they are getting so much attention because of their wrong answers. And it doesn't get any better when Günther Jauch continues to tease: "Because they all wanted to be on TV!" The 66-year-old simply cannot imagine that the four Swabians actually believed their answer to be correct. "Nobody can say you've slipped away, can you?" he wants to know. But it turns out everyone actually thought the attic bum was some kind of madder.
As far as his private life is concerned, Günther Jauch is always covered.
But in "Who wants to be a millionaire?" the presenter recently revealed an unusual amount about his four daughters.
The 66-year-old can hardly stop chatting.
