Because of Joker drama surrounding “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” candidate: Günther Jauch calls for “replacement audience”

Matthias Rütten is unsure and needs the support of a joker. Günther Jauch's promise of an “over 90 percent result” with the audience joker is promptly followed by disillusionment: only 53 percent of those present choose answer “C”, which is also the favored answer of the WWM candidate.

Günther Jauch surprised by the result of the audience joker: “I take everything back”

Surprised by the unexpected result of the audience joker, Günther Jauch, who recently gave tax tips in the middle of the show, jokes: “I take it all back. Director, where is our replacement audience? How quickly can we get it?” Despite the recommendation to add the “50:50” joker, Matthias Rütten sticks to his original choice with the words “That can only be the tin can”, which turns out to be a fatal mistake.

“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” quizmaster Günther Jauch immediately pulls a face and explains: “The correct answer is the goulash cannon!” The 38-year-old’s fourth participation comes to an abrupt end. With only 500 euros, the candidate visibly leaves the studio in Hürth near Cologne, which is also being used by another presenter.
