The moderator didn’t think THAT was so funny…
On Monday evening, Günther Jauch (66) sat opposite a candidate who had a lot to tell in “Who wants to be a millionaire?”. Emanuel Sawalt (33) had come from Switzerland, chatted about alcohol tattoos and his quirk. With a saying he offended the quizmaster.
Right from the start, the lawyer unpacked his preference and revealed: “I bathe every morning.” He has always had three little squeaky ducks company, of which Jauch even showed a photo on the show. The spleen accompanies its guests from an early age. Sawalt said, “I even set the alarm for 3am when I was a kid so I could get in the bath. After that I went back to sleep.”

But the Swiss had even more to report. There was a small, star-shaped tattoo on his upper arm. “Youthful sin,” according to Sawalt. During his military service, he went with comrades to a bar street festival, where there was also a tattoo stand. After all sorts of blood alcohol levels, each of the boys had themselves tattooed. The candidate about the action: “The next morning you woke up and thought: ‘Oh, you sh …!'”
The young man also stumbled briefly when asked the questions. For 8,000 euros, Günther Jauch wanted to know from him: “Which family is the focus of the ‘House of Dragon’ series?” A: Targaryen (right), B: Baggins, C: Soprano or D: Simpson.
Sawalt had no clue and chose his sister as the telephone joker. Amused, he let Jauch know: “She watches a lot of series, but said I shouldn’t call her.”
The student knew the right answer like a shot. She jokingly advised her brother: “Emanuel, you have to watch more TV!” His counterattack was not long in coming. “That makes you stupid!” the candidate joked back and immediately called Günther Jauch onto the scene.
TV makes you stupid? Jauch couldn’t let DAS stand like that
The quiz master probably thought he had misheard and demanded with mock indignation: “Out! Out! Out! The first disqualification in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire history.”
His counterpart, who had just put his foot in it at Jauch, even found himself: “Quite brave such a saying.”
Still, not a bad omen for Sawalt, who ended up going home with 32,000 euros.
