“Dear Elton, I would like to thank you very much for the great entertainment that you have given ProSieben viewers over the past decades. It was a celebration with you!”, becomes ProSieben boss Hannes Hiller quoted in the “Bild”.
The popular TV presenter seems to be quite voluntary Elton for not having submitted the program “Schlag den Star”. Because he vents a lot via Instagram.
“To make one thing clear: I am not giving up this wonderful show voluntarily. I only found out today after my management called the Pro7 boss to find out whether the rumors were true that I was no longer allowed to host ‘Schschlag den Star’.” , he writes there.
“Pro7 seems to be too much for me to work at RTL.” He lets his fans know that he is speechless, angry and very sad. “I’m not even granted a farewell show after 23 years of Pro 7. Without words!!! I’m going to pour myself a few beers now and maybe say something about it tomorrow. Let’s see who dares to comment here. Again: pure disappointment.”
Matthias Opdenhövel, his successor, is certainly happy about his return to the station. From 2006 to 2011 he hosted “Schlag den Raab” and in 2010 also “Schlag den Star”. “It’s an honor and a homecoming at the same time. I can’t wait and I’m looking forward to all the prominent pairings and crazy games.”
