Moderator Günther Jauch (64) is back at work after surviving the corona infection - and relieved.

A few days ago the show "5 gegen Jauch" was recorded, which will be broadcast on Saturday (May 8, 8:15 pm) - according to RTL information, it was Jauch's first broadcast after the quarantine.

"For me, the break was very unusual," said Jauch of the German press agency in Cologne.

In the past 45 years, he had never canceled a program due to illness - now there have been three.

"I was relieved when I was able to switch back to normal mode," said Jauch about his comeback.

At the beginning of April it became known that Jauch had been infected with Corona.

Because of the infection, he missed three editions of the live show "Because they don't know what's happening", in which he usually appears with Barbara Schöneberger (47) and Thomas Gottschalk (70).

However, it was regularly activated live.

In the first new episode of “5 gegen Jauch” the “Godfather of the German Quiz” plays against pop singer Mickie Krause, actor Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, comedian Wigald Boning, comedian Ilka Bessin and dancer Christina Luft.

The evening will be moderated by Oliver Pocher.

It's about 100,000 euros for a good cause.

When asked whether the recording was more exhausting than it used to be, Jauch said that he had not experienced the infection as "so dramatic" himself.

“On the other hand, I underestimated the stubbornness of the virus,” he admitted.

“Coronatest salespeople took great pleasure in me for many weeks.

You test and test and are always frustrated again after every positive result. "

However, there are harder fates than not having a lot to do at home for three weeks. "I read a lot, cleaned up and actually watched a lot more TV than usual," said Jauch. "In addition, you listen more into your body in order not to be surprised by more serious corona side effects."
