Berlin (dpa) - TV legend Thomas Gottschalk is again the show master on German television.
The 70-year-old won the final of the entertainment program "Who is stealing the show from me?"
against host Joko Winterscheidt (42).
Gottschalk now has every opportunity to completely change the private broadcaster's Tuesday evening quiz according to his wishes.
Shortly before the crucial question, the former "Wetten, dass ..?" Moderator flatted: "I am about to reach the climax of my career."
In the end, the crucial question was about the "ET" actress Drew Barrymore, which Gottschalk and the host answered correctly.
Winterscheidt had previously fallen behind because he answered a question about the symbols on the GDR flag incorrectly.
He had assumed the hammer and sickle were symbols.
Gottschalk had correctly remembered the hammer and compass as the flagship of the fallen state.
Also the "Faust" quote: "Now tell me, how about religion?"
Defending champion Winterscheidt did not have ready.

The "Wetten, dass ..?" Veteran will moderate the quiz show next Tuesday at 8:15 pm.
Joko Winterscheidt has to join the group of four candidates and try to recapture the show next week.
Winterscheidt took the defeat with composure, but later cursed.
Gottschalk already announced in the final that the show band would be renamed.
"If I win, you will all get a black hat and sunglasses:" The Heisenbergs "."
Winterscheidt had successfully prevented someone from taking the show from him twice this month.
Both TV presenter Palina Rojinski and actor Elyas M'Barek failed in the final.
The fallen showmaster now has two opportunities to turn the tide.
In «Who steals the show from me?»
the host competes against three celebrities and one spectator.
The contestants literally want to steal the show from him.
In the total of nine game rounds per broadcast, it is first decided who will play against the showmaster in the final.
If the host loses there, the winner becomes the quiz show host of the next edition.
