 The TV presenter wrote his memoirs. The Good Nature provides anecdotes – and pensive tones

                 Berlin. In mid-May he celebrates his 65th birthday. It is not necessarily a guide to him, but his age makes him have to create. For a professional youth who all his life has earned his temperament, his charm and his childlike fun feeling good money, perhaps more concerned about the aging process makes the average person.

Thomas Gottschalk , in addition to the currently reclusive Harald Schmidt, 57, and the permanently-present Günther Jauch, 58, is among the top three of the TV industry, has written his memoirs and titled with the phrase “Autumn Blonde”. What it leaves open the possibility, in, say, 15 years to complete the findings of his life under the title “Winter White”.

The aging and age take at Gottschalk much space. The look in the mirror, the more neutral handling young RTL editors with him leave traces in the “Grüßaugust the nation” – that does not fit him everything. Gladly Sucks Franke pats of people’s voice on as in a meeting that he had recently in Berlin: “Did you already ma EENA jesacht, ditte look like the Jottschalk?”, He was accosted in the elevator. “Yes, that happens to me more often.” “Man, so kannste Jeld vadien!” “But not as much as the.” “Do nothin ‘, but biste ten years younger.”

He had never felt the need to behave like an adult, and he lived in the delusion of being able to remain forever a child – “Not for just an old child.” Along with many cheerful anecdotes from childhood, youth and career, making the whole book worth reading and give the impression that speak directly next to a permanently the “Wetten, dass …” – Dauerplauderer Gottschalk, surprised the cheerful nature with serious tones. Intensive he deals with the suicides of two friends and companions: playboy Gunter Sachs and former MDR-director Udo Reiter, who promoted him. Gottschalk’s knowledge: He respects the decisions of the two. . He would not try to get out before he was on target

friends and close colleagues, Gottschalk gives plenty of space: Some pages he devotes to the deceased literature Pope Marcel Reich-Ranicki, which in 2008 German Television Award for lifetime achievement and rejected the gala presenter Gottschalk right after the scandal that you offered. Gummibär patron Hans Riegel from Bonn (Haribo), who held Gottschalk 25 years as an advertising figure is considered extensively. And as Mr Jauch takes place in detail: The reported to him, he bears seriously kürzerzutreten with the idea. “What he never does,” blasphemes Gottschalk. His passion, he thinks about Jauch, he could find in his vineyard. But the reality is: “Now his mood is also dependent on the weather.”

Nothing can Gottschalk come to his married with him since 1976. Ms. Thea; they have waived his account a career. The sons Tristan and Roman life after studying in the US, one separated from the mother of his child. Gottschalk’s grandson lives in Berlin and is personally from the great masters now and then brought to the nursery. Quite extensive falls from the settlement with his critics, the all in all “a fair Draw” produces. The violent story is more than 20 years old, as a sat.1 magazine wanted to come out it was a Scientologist – at the relevant Thomas Gottschalk, it was, however, not the Maître TV art, but another

.

just right, however, fall Gottschalk’s remarks about his relationship with real estate from. Although he describes in detail the acquisition of its US property and the purchase and sale of the castle on the Rhine, but on all other investments in land – wherever they may have taken place – falls short the stock: “I have all property purchases my life must always nice to talk afterwards. All in all, I have it paid so far, but the final bill has not yet been yes. And I also numbers were always care if I had the subjective feeling to improve myself. “

Even his relationship with his younger brother Christoph Gottschalk lit in relatively few lines. Due to the similar voices they were confused, the caller on the telephone had often had the feeling that Thomas was sitting in the boat, although that was not always the case.

You Also a couple of times had gotten into the hair, but then reconciled. Both knew that they were there for each other in case of emergency. For example, in the so-called surreptitious advertising scandal around “Wetten, dass ..?”, Especially the “Spiegel” themed detail several years ago. Since Christoph has played an important role, because he got out of a car manufacturer, a vehicle with which a betting king was rewarded.

Finally moving the accident betting candidate Samuel Koch, who while trying with springs to jump over cars, paraplegic lying on the ground remained Gottschalk to retreat from “Wetten, dass ..?”. However, with more than 60 years, he began again: in the ARD with the eve of the show and the RTL “Super Talent” – albeit unsuccessfully. Gottschalk sees it all in stride: “If I had after the farewell ceremony and the rate boon for the last” Wetten, dass .. “- show go waving into retirement, you would have me canonized, but the next thing I heard from Germany, would have been my obituary. “
