Gottschalk Late Night with Gaudino: Maurizio Gaudino’s time at Eintracht was not a success story but more of a crime story made in Bembeltown. Signed from Stuttgart in 1992, the national player was arrested in December 1994 immediately after appearing on RTL’s Gottschalk Late Night, on suspicion of insurance fraud involving supposedly stolen cars. Host Thomas Gottschalk reacted with perfect timing: ‘Usually you get arrested first and then go on a talk show.
Doing it the other way around is new to me.’ Gaudino was later fined.
