Mr. Schröder, how often were you a guest on “Wetten,dass…?”It felt like it was constant. I think it was Gottschalk five times and Lanz four times.

Do you still remember your first time? It was at Gottschalk in Düsseldorf. The then Prime Minister Jürgen Rüttgers sat in the front row and looked at me grimly the whole time. I think he didn’t like me. I got along best with 50 Cent that evening. I have never forgiven myself for declining his invitation.
