Günther Jauch was part of the inventory of the TV annual review “People, Pictures, Emotions” for 26 years. For the coming edition, however, Sender RTL is sending two other moderators into the race. At least one of them might surprise you.

Dhe former Federal Minister of Defense Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is to moderate this year’s edition of the year-end show “People, Pictures, Emotions” together with show master Thomas Gottschalk. This was announced by the broadcaster RTL in a press release. The show is scheduled to air December 11 at 8:15 p.m.

The show, in which the most impressive moments of the outgoing year are to be presented, had previously been moderated by Günther Jauch for 26 years. However, in the run-up to the 2021 year review, Jauch had announced that he would moderate the show for the last time. “I think that now is a good moment to say: It was nice,” said Jauch at the time.

Guttenberg will have a television veteran in Gottschalk. The long-standing “Wetten, dass..?” moderator has already twice conducted a review of the year for ZDF.
