The "Who wants to be a millionaire?" candidate Karen Nielsen did not reach the million, but she revealed Günther Jauch what she would have done with the main prize - the RTL presenter almost fell off his chair laughing.
Cologne – In “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” it is not only extremely tricky, but sometimes also hilarious, especially in the higher prize levels.
So also on Monday evening (March 20th): candidate Karen Nielsen amused Günther Jauchs (66) evening – but at the expense of her husband who traveled with her.
"Who wants to be a millionaire?" The candidate is generous – she reveals her profit plans to Günther Jauch
Karien Nielsen had already made it to the hot seat last week on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", but the airtime was not enough.
So the mother of three was allowed to do it again.
The risk seemed minimal: the girl from Schleswig-Holstein had already earned 16,000 euros and decided in advance on the safe option – so this sum could no longer be taken from her.
She passed the 32,000 euro level thanks to the audience joker, but after that it was over due to a moderately difficult geography question.
“What are you going to do with the 32,000 euros?” Günther Jauch asked.
The accountant was willing to provide information and explained that she wanted to give her mother-in-law a robot lawn mower and also subsidize her daughter's stay in the USA.
Her husband, who kept his fingers crossed in the background, was left empty-handed because of the missed main prize: "Unfortunately, he's not getting what he actually wanted," says Karen Nielsen.
Did you know? Karen Nielsen failed on this question:
"Which two states don't border?"
a) Uruguay and Paraguay
b) Niger and Nigeria
c) Iran and Iraq
d) Afghanistan and Pakistan
Correct answer: a)
Liposuction for Husband of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Contestant?
– Günther Jauch laughs out loud
Then the “Who wants to be a millionaire?” candidate explained: “If I had gotten the million, then I promised him I would give him liposuction.” With so much honesty, Günther Jauch could hardly stay on the chair – but Karen Nielsen was still owed him an explanation, because her husband of the gods obviously didn't need such an intervention.
However, reaching into the bag of crisps in the evening regularly presents him with pangs of conscience.
Corrective action should then create an appropriate OP.

"If I get the million, then you go to the doctor, make a fool of yourself – because, of course, the doctor won't do that – but I'll give you the money," she promised him. For the sake of fairness, Günther Jauch also wanted to listen to the other side: “Is that so?” the quiz master asked and got a resolute “No!” back. Although the situation was obviously not that comfortable for him, the exposed husband was still able to laugh – and the RTL audience with him!
Another ex-participant is not in the mood to laugh at the moment: the former “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” candidate recently went to court with RTL.
