But that is …
TV confusion on Saturday in the evening program on the public broadcaster ARD.
ARD presenter Alexander Bommes (46) leads through the quiz show “Gefraget – Gejagt”. The sports fans know, among other things, as the moderator of the “Sportschau” and of live sports events.
Recently, however, Bommes had canceled two major events in a row due to health reasons. The Football World Cup in Qatar at the end of 2022 and the current Handball World Cup. All the more surprising for many that he now flickered across the screen as a quiz moderator parallel to the event.
Why is sick Bommes moderating an ARD quiz?
What many viewers do not suspect: the program was recorded before Bommes’ interim TV retreat.
What is shown is episode 647 of the popular series. With the four candidates Johannes Wolf, Sabine Lohse, Jonathan Hartter and Nina Dulheuer. It was first broadcast on German television on October 12, 2022. And accordingly it was recorded earlier. At a time when Bommes was still working…
When asked by BILD at the end of 2022, the production company ITV Studios Germany said about the quiz show: “The recordings and broadcasts have already been successfully completed for this year. Further episodes are planned for mid-2023. Until then, the entire Gefrage-Gejagt team wishes Alexander a speedy recovery.”
Bommes has been moderating the quiz show since 2012. It is not yet clear when he will return.
In the course of his handball cancellation, he explained: “After a year in which I, like many people, had to accept some health restrictions, I want to complete further recovery and therefore consequently refrain from moderating this year’s Handball World Cup.” Bommes already missed the World Cup in November and December 2022.

At the World Cup in Poland and Sweden, Bommes will be replaced by Stephanie Müller-Spirra (39).
Speaking about her nomination on Watson, the presenter said: “At first I was like, ‘Okay, obviously Alex is still not feeling well’. I am very sorry about that. It can knock any of us out and you realize how important it is to be healthy and to be able to do your job. On the other hand, it is of course an exciting task for me. But it’s difficult to be really happy.”
