After macabre gag - Jauch can't contain himself - murmurs in the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" audience

Niklas Erkes from Nettetal on the Lower Rhine is a Masters student in European Studies. He is studying European-Chinese trade relations. However, with Günther Jauch he was first asked to study the local culture, because his 2,000-euro question on “ Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? ” was: “In the regional dialect, is ...?” Munich Minga, Dresden Dräsa, Frankfurt Fronga, Hamburg Humba?

Bizarre: The question sparked a chat between the candidate and the presenter Günther Jauch, during which the conversation turned from Kölsch beer to Belgian monks with vows of silence to Chinese food. The presenter got so lost in the small talk that he thought Niklas Erkes had already answered the actual quiz question. The audience was amused. Niklas Erkes asked the audience for advice: The audience joker showed that 63 percent of the guests were in favor of "Munich Minga". Correct!

Worth 4,000 euros: “According to the flamingo test, what should you be able to do for at least 43 seconds at 30 and 18 seconds at 70 to be considered healthy?” The possible answers: hang your head, stretch your neck, stand on one leg, flap your wings. Niklas Erkes chose the correct answer: C.

Jauch now wanted to do the test with him. Both stood on one leg, much to the amusement of the studio audience. Both passed the test, which was met with applause. Suddenly Günther Jauch burst out laughing. "I don't want to know how many broken bones there will be tonight because everyone is watching TV..." thought the presenter out loud. Then he laughed again: "Grandpa is about to fall onto the edge of the sofa with his neck."

A murmur went through the studio, but Günther Jauch continued to giggle: "Twelve seriously injured people in Germany because they were standing on one leg in the living room." When he wanted to read out the next question, he got another burst of laughter. The reason may have been a little macabre, but it was endearing to see the presenter laughing so heartily.

"Guys, what direction is this going to take today?" asked presenter Jauch, who had just been criticized for his appearance on the RTL quadrell , when he saw the next quiz question. He had to laugh again because it matched his morbid idea from just now: "What ends with 'the child was dead'?" He received applause for this fit of laughter. Hansel and Gretel, Erlkönig, Struwwelpeter, Oliver Twist? Grinning, Günther Jauch explained: "Answer E is missing: The Flamingo Test."

Then things got serious: "What distances were awarded Olympic gold in the women's shot put and the men's discus throw?" The answer was worth 16,000 euros. After the 50:50 joker, the remaining answers were "20 meters and 70 meters" and "25 meters and 60 meters". As an additional joker, a lady from the audience guessed the former. Correct!

Once again, Niklas Erkes and Günther Jauch talked about everything under the sun. Or at least about Germany and China. This time, however, Günther Jauch remembered what was next: the 64,000 mark. "Which two famous men would be 300 and 100 years old on April 2nd?" Michelangelo & Rudi Carrell, Casanova & Hans Rosenthal, Dante & Harald Juhnke, Caruso & Loriot?

The telephone joker didn't know what to do. "It was a pleasure to talk to you about many exciting topics, but I think we'll part ways now," Niklas Erkes said eloquently, leaving with 32,000 euros. The pairing was "Casanova & Hans Rosenthal".

There is another strange moment in the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” show when Günther Jauch suddenly leaves the studio.
