Klausmann's scratchy voice causes excitement in Gefragt – Gejagt”!

The quiz show “Gefragt – GeJagt” continues to enjoy great popularity and also caused a stir in the current episode, which was broadcast on September 1, 2025. Moderator Alexander Bommes (49) leads the way in this entertaining quiz arena. During a recording, hunter Sebastian Klussmann (36) caused some nervousness in the studio and among the audience with his scratchy voice. Klussmann, who elicited a hoarse “Good evening, Mr. Bommes” when greeting Bommes, was apparently suffering from a cold. But despite his ailing voice, he proved to be capable of taking a quiz and held out throughout the entire show, even if his voice almost gave out on some questions. AZ Online reports that Klussmann's hoarse voice might even have a certain appeal to some fans.

Bommes and Klussmann, who have known each other for many years, once again created a remarkable dynamic between presenter and hunter. In the exciting final round, in which Klussmann answered 13 questions, he faced a particularly tricky question: “Which island is famous for its Grillo wines?” However, with the correct answer “Sicily” he put the team of candidates in an awkward position as they lost 30,000 euros as a result. Alexander Bommes reacted with an emotional exclamation and clearly showed his displeasure with the answer. “There are a lot of islands and that makes me angry,” said Bommes, who then also praised Klussmann’s strong nerves. At the end, he joked about what might be an unlikely fan club for the hunter. Watson emphasizes that such interactions make the show particularly exciting.

Interesting facts about quiz shows

The fascination for quiz shows continues unabated. The development began with shows like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” and continued with formats such as “Asked – Hunted”, which is considered one of the most demanding among quiz fans. It is increasingly being discussed whether quizzes offer more than just entertainment and whether they contribute to the transfer of knowledge. Deutschlandfunk culture notes that the right questions can not only spark curiosity but also inspire further learning. Moderators like Bommes serve as supporters who both motivate the candidates and enthrall the viewers.

For many people, quizzes are not just a game, but also a topic of conversation when getting to know each other. The participants and the audience often identify with the knowledge questions and try to compare their own knowledge. The depth of knowledge varies depending on the topic and shows how important it is to have up-to-date information and to constantly learn. While Klussmann impressively demonstrated his knowledge despite his cold, the viewer remains in the role of the person seeking advice - and that is what makes the show so appealing.
