Thomas Gottschalk criticized for body shaming
Thomas Gottschalk was recently criticized for so-called body shaming because he made a comment about the figure of singer Maite Kelly.
In preparation for his appearance on Florian Silbereisen's show "Das Adventsfest der 100'000 Lichter" next Saturday, Gottschalk joked with his buddy Krüger that he would probably have to push Kelly to the side so that he could be seen.
"Bild" quoted Gottschalk as saying that he believed he had already made enough jokes at his own expense to be able to afford, at his age, "not to let Maite get away with it either".
"Nobody knows that better than she does, because she's old enough to have heard the saying: 'What loves each other, teases each other'." Incidentally, Maite Kelly is not even on the guest list for the ARD "Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights".
The podcast "Die Supernasen" alluded to old national cinema hits as an audio format. In the early 80s, Krüger and Gottschalk were considered a guarantee for full movie theaters. The "Supernasen" series consists of the comedies "Piratensender Powerplay" (1982), "Die Supernasen" (1983), "Zwei Nasen tanken Super" (1984) and "Die Einsteiger" (1985).
