His debut at “Who will become a millionaire?” brought him 1.1 million views on YouTube at the time. However, for less than creditable reasons: Jauch had exposed him on the show after answering the selection question incorrectly: “Did you attend primary school?”

Günther Jauch warns candidates: “It’s over now!”

The candidate would have every reason to be angry with the moderator. Instead, he was happy: “And now I’m sitting here, Mr. Jauch, that’s crazy!” He became as emotional as he did at the beginning after he gave away the first joker for the 200 euro question: “Oh! When I see that at home, I’ll be upset with myself!” The next joker followed at the 4,000 level.

Worth 8,000 euros: “The WHO recommends exclusively breastfeeding babies at the beginning – specifically in the first six…?” Days, weeks, months, years? When the telephone joker wasn’t sure, Luke Rothfuchs swore in fecal language. Not for the first time, why Günther Jauch, who recently caused a breakdownwarned: “So, you’ve said ‘Shit’ three times now, now it’s over!”

Günther Jauch: “In my disgust ranking, your story is right at the top”

The additional joker should help. “I’m sorry about all the swearing, but it’s just a situation here,” said Luke Rothfuchs. He chose a lady from the audience. She knew: “six months”.

“Now we come to your very own horror story,” suggested Jauch. He had previously stated: “In my disgust ranking, your story is right at the top.” While still living in a ground floor apartment, the candidate “heard a loud splash in the toilet” on a particularly rainy evening. The rat was no longer visible when the lid was lifted, “but there was splashing water – so I definitely had a visitor through the toilet!”

An exterminator recommended that he put a towel on the seat and knock every time he went to the bathroom so that “baby rats don’t come into the world in my apartment.” Günther Jauch was disgusted. “I think ground floor apartments will be offered significantly cheaper in the Cologne area from tomorrow,” mused the moderator with a wink. “I’m not leaving tonight,” he thought out loud.

Worth 32,000 euros: “What was it once decided that there shouldn’t be more than 21 million of them?” Bitcoins, atomic bombs, internet addresses, elephants in Africa? Bitter: Luke Rothfuchs would have been right with “Bitcoins”, but he didn’t dare. He earned 16,000 euros.
