On 11 December, RTL once again presented the big review of the year “People, Pictures, Emotions”. The show was moderated for the first time this year by Thomas Gottschalk and Carl-Theodor zu Gutenberg. However, the duo didn’t receive a particularly positive response on social media. Above all, a quote from Gottschalk against Sarah Connor made waves, which has now been used again in a different context.
