Günther Jauch (66) has been moderating the RTL quiz show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” since 1999. But as he has now revealed to the broadcaster, he does not look at the episodes again afterwards. “When I see afterwards how I’m gesticulating, how I’m sitting crookedly, how I can’t finish sentences. Then I’m not satisfied with myself,” he explains. And he adds: “In order not to burden myself with unnecessary complexes, I never watch my show.”
In September 1999, 23 years ago, Jauch started his long-running TV hit “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”. So far, 16 candidates have achieved the declared goal of cracking the million dollar question.
With wit and enthusiasm, the popular presenter still leads through the quiz show today. In 2019 he revealed in an interview with “n-tv” how he assesses his future as a “WWM” presenter: “The next anniversary would be in five years, then I’ll slowly be approaching 70. It’s difficult for me imagine, but I just let myself be surprised.”
