Elton to Depart 'Wer weiß denn sowas?' After a Decade as Team Captain

The German entertainer steps back to focus on personal priorities but will continue hosting select TV projects, including '1, 2 oder 3.'

  • Elton's final episode of 'Wer weiß denn sowas?' will air on April 26, 2025, in a special XXL edition on ARD.
  • The entertainer is leaving the popular quiz show voluntarily to dedicate more time to his personal life and other commitments.
  • The show will continue with a new team captain, and several candidates, including Wigald Boning and Bastian Bielendorfer, are being considered.
  • Elton will remain active in television, continuing to host ZDF's '1, 2 oder 3,' which he has led since 2010, and other select projects like 'Eltons 12.'
  • This marks another shift in Elton's career, following his departure from ProSieben in 2024 and the end of 'Blamieren oder Kassieren.'
