Elton John's position is taken over by Wotan Wilke M├Âhring - Elton has a new successor, named Wotan Wilke Möhring.

Elton, the long-standing team captain on the popular German quiz show 'Who knows something like that? XXL', announced his departure from the role in April. The news came as a surprise to many, as the show was an XXL edition, marking a significant milestone in its history.

Elton decided to leave the show on his own accord, and his departure has left a void that will soon be filled by Wotan Wilke Möhring. The news of Möhring's appointment as the new team captain was met with excitement, as he has previously shown his enthusiasm for the show whenever he was invited to participate.

Kai Pflaume, a fellow panelist on the show, described Möhring as a knowledgeable, competitive, and compassionate individual. Möhring's experience in quiz shows, combined with his charisma and intelligence, promises to make him an excellent addition to the team.

Regular episodes of 'Who knows something like that?' will air on weekdays at 6:00 pm, with the first episode following the next Monday. In addition to the regular episodes, a special XXL edition of the show is planned for October 11th, a Saturday, at 8:15 pm on the first channel.

Möhring will take over as the team captain on the quiz show "Wer weiß denn sowas?" starting from October 13, 2025. Until then, fans of the show can look forward to watching Möhring's impressive performances as a contestant on 'Who knows something like that? XXL'.

Bernhard Hoecker, a comedian and fellow celebrity, joked about Möhring's role as the team captain, saying, "Who knew that Wotan Wilke Möhring would one day be a team captain? I guess even Wotan can't always be a god!" Despite the humour, Möhring's appointment is a highly anticipated event in the world of German entertainment.
