  The show is (sadly and strangely enough) one of the biggest TV shows in Germany, spanning multiple hours at the absolute peak prime time during the weekend.

  Actually, Wiki even has it listed as the most popular show in Europe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetten,_dass..%3F). YIKES!

  It is still Europe’s biggest TV Show and therefore the only reason for stars like him to perform regularly.. He lost his bet, so he had to sing it on helium, cause the Host had that idea.. in Germany it always has like.. 10 to 14 million viewers at a total population of 80 million. And that’s only the TVs.. since it is classified as a family program it will be the majority of Germany watching it and talking about it afterwards, so all of these world famous stars do silly things there, knowing they as well increase their popularity here and appear more human.

  That’s “Wetten Dass…” the biggest German TV show for the last 20 years. The host Thomas Gottschalk is a legend!

  it’s true that “Wetten Dass?” is germany’s if not one of europe’s most popular shows. it’s been on for probably somewhere around twenty-five years. yet it has to be said that they’ve lost a lot of their shine. the current presenter (thomas gottschalk, the dude with the blonde perm) is way over the hill and needs to retire badly. that you might as well tell him yourself - he resides in malibu.

  I used to watch “Wetten, dass …” every Saturday when I was growing up. This show has been on TV since 1981. My parents still tape it for me whenever it comes on and send it to me. It is so entertaining and every show is different. The host “Thomas Gottschalk” actually lives in California. The next show will be on March 1st in Halle, Germany. Live. I can’t wait to see it.

  I can’t help it. Sad or not, I grew up with my mother listening to this sort of stuff (I know all the words…as a matter of fact) and I can’t help but let a little snerk escape.
