Munich, Germany – January 23, 2024 – German television personality Thomas Gottschalk, who announced a cancer diagnosis in late 2023, has publicly stated he is feeling better and intends to continue living. This follows a period of relative silence after his departure from television to focus on his health.

For some time, there had been little news regarding Gottschalk following his farewell appearance on television. In December 2023, he announced he had been diagnosed with epithelioid angiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer.
