THAT could have gone in your pants …
On Monday evening, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” advice fox Thomas Lang (32) was already on the tube at the 500 euro hurdle. A very special part of the body was required.
With the broadcast, Günther Jauch (65) heralded the event week of his quiz classic. In four consecutive shows, all candidates can qualify for the grand finale on Thursday. Then one of them can gamble for an incredible three million euros. Whoever wants to be on the shortlist must have earned at least 16,000 euros beforehand.
At the beginning, Thomas Lang seemed a long way from that. The bartender was already worried about the 500 euro question. Jauch wanted to know: “With the glacier mummy Ötzi, you had problems at first finding which part of the body?” His counterpart had to choose between these four possible answers: head, right arm, left leg or penis (correct).

The single from Frankfurt / Main had absolutely no plan and puzzled cheerfully: “I mean, it was the head, but I’m not sure,” was his first guess. He was recently in the Ötzi Museum. But: “What was missing I don’t have on my screen right now.”
Time for Günther Jauch to give the likeable Hessian a helping hand. The moderator explained: “The question doesn’t say that something is missing. You only had problems locating the body part at the beginning. ”This little tip actually put Thomas Lang on the right track. He suspected: “The most difficult thing to make out is the genitalia.” Jauch joked: “That depends on the man.”

But the candidate was still unsure and feared: “I can’t get kicked out of a penis question now.” Finally he risked it and logged on the penis. When Jauch resolved the answer as correct, a load fell from the young man’s heart. On this occasion, the moderator also explained to him why the good piece was not to be seen immediately and went into detail.
Jauch oberschlau: “It was like in real life: the penis had shrunk to a tiny skin sheet.” In his show, Thomas Lang cleared 64,000 euros in the end and was thus able to qualify for the grand finale on Thursday evening. Among other things, he wants to use the profit for a long trip.
