The audience loved him,” the ARD coordinator Vorabend, Frank Beckmann, is quoted as saying. Moderator Alexander Bommes explained in the message: “With Klaus Otto Nagorsnik we are losing a role model of authenticity, education and joie de vivre. I admired him and really enjoyed playing and laughing with him. The hunt will continue for him too.”
