Munich (ots)
Klaus Otto Nagorsnik, a long-time hunter from “Gefragt-Gejagt”, died unexpectedly. He was 68 years old. This news fills the “Gefragt-Gejagt” family with great horror and deep sadness.
The Münsterland native worked as a librarian in the Münster city library until his retirement and was committed to reading. He was a passionate quiz player and won numerous titles in quiz championships.
From 2014 he was – at that time still on NDR television – one of the hunters on “Gefragt-Gejagt”.
Frank Beckmann, ARD coordinator Eve
“We are deeply shocked by the death of Klaus Otto Nagorsnik. Our librarian has helped shape ‘Gefragt-Jagt’ for many years. We owe him countless exciting and entertaining evenings. The audience loved him. Our thoughts are with his relatives and the ‘Gefragt-Gejagt’ team.”.
The sudden death of Klaus Otto Nagorsnik leaves a gap in the “Gefragt-Gejagt” family and in the entire quiz community. His sharp mind, charm and extensive knowledge made him a crowd favorite.
Alexander Bommes, moderator:
“With Klaus Otto Nagorsnik we are losing a role model of authenticity, education and joy of life. I admired him and really enjoyed playing and laughing with him. The hunt will continue for him too.”
The hunters of the quiz elite:
With Klaus Otto Nagorsnik we are losing a great quizzer with a high level of education who was as familiar with the Iliad as he was with BVB in all its facets. The ‘Gefragt-Gejagt’ team had become his second family over the years and his assignments on the Jägerstuhl were celebrations for him that gave him the chance to make full use of his wealth of knowledge, but also his Westphalian humor and charm. We are losing a fine person with a great sense of justice. We will miss Klaus Otto Nagorsnik deeply. See you soon in the big library, dear KO!
The pre-produced episodes of the new season of “Gefragt-Gejagt” with Klaus Otto Nagorsnik will be shown on Das Erste from May 13, 2024 in memory of him.
