A celestial body takes over Elton's role in the show "Who Knows?"
The popular German quiz show "Who Knows What?" is set to return with new episodes from October 13th, airing weekdays at 6 pm on the first channel. The ARD program director has announced Wotan Wilke Moehring as the new team captain, replacing Elton who departed in April.
Wotan Wilke Moehring, known for his role in the northern German "Tatort", brings humor, knowledge, ambition, and enthusiasm to his new role. He has previously been a guest on "Who Knows What?", and after Elton's departure, he was the first choice for the role.
Bernhard Hoecker remains a team captain on the show. He was immediately convinced by Wotan Wilke Moehring's appointment and offers advice to the new captain, encouraging them to have fun and not worry about performance.
The 11th season of "Who Knows What?" reached new record ratings, averaging 20.2 percent market share in the total audience and 14.6 percent in the 20-59 age group. The team will not have the pressure of constant competition like high-performance sports teams, as the focus is on entertainment and fun.
No information about the "Who Knows What?" team composition beyond Wotan Wilke Moehring and Bernhard Hoecker was provided. However, Kai Pflaume, the host of "Who Knows What?", said Wotan Wilke Moehring was a super sympathetic person.
Before the start of the new episodes, a "Who Knows What? XXL" special is scheduled for Saturday at 8:15 pm. The host of the quiz show for this special has not been identified.
Despite the change in leadership, "Who Knows What?" is expected to continue its popularity with audiences for years to come. The new episodes are sure to be a hit, with Wotan Wilke Moehring's addition to the team. The new captain is not expected to worry about their position after every loss, as the focus remains on providing entertainment and fun for viewers.
