Gamer madness on Thursday evening at “Wer wird Millionär”!
Comedian Chris Tall (30) won an incredible 500,000 euros in the quiz show’s celebrity special. But without his colleague Oliver Pocher (42) he would not have succeeded in this feat. Because he helped a lot in the triumphant advance.
As part of the RTL donation marathon, moderator Guido Cantz (50), ex-biathlete Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle (40) and cult comedian Jürgen von der Lippe (73) played for the cash. At Chris Tall, Günther Jauch (65) was amazed right from the start. His prominent advisor has actually slimmed down a lot.
A total of 18 kilos tumbled on the TV star. Why did he thin himself? “On stage I sometimes noticed after 15 or 20 minutes that I could hardly breathe. I just noticed that I wasn’t fit enough for the stage, ”said Chris Tall on the show.
He didn’t miss anything on the council chair and successfully guessed his way through the question marathon. At 125,000 euros, however, it was almost over. Jauch wanted to know: “Who lived near Utrecht in the legendary ‘Haus Doorn’ near Utrecht until his death in 1941?” The choices were Kaiser Wilhelm II, Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Karl Marx. His counterpart had to admit: “I don’t know. I can’t deduce anything from that either. “
But Chris Tall still had an ace up his sleeve: Oliver Pocher as a telephone joker! “He often knows something like that by mistake.” So said, done. Jauch reached the comedy star on Sylt. What he had not expected: Pocher actually knew the answer, and said quite definitely: “Kaiser Wilhelm II lived there until the end of his death.” He read that during Corona.

Chris Tall logged in with a dreadful death. And lo and behold – it was true. A stone was taken from the candidate’s heart, but his jokers were now used up. The 500,000 euro question seemed insoluble. “In which city do the longest and second longest autobahns in Germany intersect?” Dortmund, Hanover, Leipzig or Würzburg (correct).
Chris Tall resolved: “I travel so much on the highways. I’ll answer this question now. “Then he went through a few stretches, finally settled:” I’ll take Würzburg. “At the same time, the celebrity candidate announced that he would donate 16,000 euros out of his own pocket should the answer be wrong .
But it was true. The guessing fox was happy and even had goose bumps. With the million question, he didn’t want to risk any more and got out. It read: “What was the last thing animal filmmaker Bernhard Grzimek experienced on March 13, 1987, immediately before his death?”
Chris Tall at the end happy about his win: “This is completely hara-kiri! Half a million euros – I’m really happy and will call my mother right away. ”In total, the celebrities raised 660,000 euros that evening for a good cause.
