Günther Jauch: RTL admits wrong question on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”

RTL made a mistake in a question in Günther Jauch's quiz show Who will become a millionaire? This gives one candidate a second chance to win. She failed to answer the 32,000 euro question in the show broadcast on Tuesday.

The question was: “Who did Germans google twice in the category 'International Personalities' in 2023 other than US pop star Taylor Swift?” There are four names to choose from: A) Margot Robbie, B) Queen Camilla, C) Elon Musk and D) Harry Kane. Candidate Laura Harbig guessed Elon Musk. According to the moderator Günther Jauch This was the wrong answer. The correct answer would have been footballer Harry Kane.

Taylor Swift was the most googled

Now RTL announces that none of the four possible answers was correct in this case. After intensive examination, it was determined that Taylor Swift was the most googled “International Personality” in 2023. “We apologize for the error,” the sender said.

The candidate should now get a second chance. Since it was a special – the 3 million euro week – she will be allowed to compete again in the next special edition of this kind. When exactly that will be is still unclear.
