For this performance he even changed his pace …
The “Masked Singer” jury got into a real guessing euphoria again on Saturday evening. After the Tagesschau spokesman Jens Riewa (58) slipped out of the chili pod last week, it was now time to uncover the next costume.
Especially the hammerhead shark again provided shark puns. There was talk of “Hai-per, hai-per” – and he also seems to be a real star. In his clues, the party shark revealed: “The rush to my fan shop is hotter than ever.”
With “Vamos a la playa” and “Another one bites the dust” he created a lot of atmosphere in the studio. Juror Rea Garvey (48) immediately advised: “Put it quite stupidly: Thomas Hai-yo!” Ruth Moschner (45) loved to pick up the ball: “Or Hai-di Klum!”
Moderator Matthias Opdenhövel (51) was dragged into the word play vortex: “Now let’s start guessing the big shark!”
But Ruth Moschner had the next tip ready: “We saw it in the MAZ, the oceans. That could be an indication of a world champion. Pierre Littbarski. But we all still know his sensational legs, that somehow speaks against it. The shark has no bow legs … “

Guest juror Janin Ullmann (39) had already landed in the comedy corner: “It could also be Atze Schröder, I think.”
The name of a moderator then came up with Rea: “Elton. Elton can’t sing. But I think the party mood and the color of the voice speak for Elton. Pink and yellow are definitely Elton’s favorite colors! “
At the end of the show, the party-loving hammer shark had to tremble. Together with his “Masked Singer” opponents Stinktier and Axolotl, he had not received enough calls and had to worry about getting ahead.
Shortly afterwards the result: The shark has to leave the show! Sadly, he accepted the news and made Matthias Opdenhövel feel sorry for him: “Torrent from the Glubschi eyes!” The jury puzzled again – and suddenly came around the corner with completely new ideas. Janin Ullmann now also guessed a footballer: “I thought of Ailton. It didn’t occur to me before. ”
Opdenhövel had already got back to word games: “Or Hai-lton!” Ruth Moschner was, however, still absolutely convinced that another soccer star was hiding under the shark costume: “I just believe it, even if I think about it Legs can’t explain: It’s Pierre Littbarski upstairs, someone else downstairs. ”

When the shark finally took off its mask, the riddle was solved: Pierre Littbarski (61), soccer world champion from 1990, was not only wearing a hammerhead shark costume on the top, but also on the bottom! First he had to explain why he was not recognized by the corridor – he simply pretended to be: “It’s so difficult. Can I move normally again now? “
A true world champion at “The Masked Singer” – but Pierre Littbarski had never thought of football: “That was the highlight of my life. Even more beautiful than Rome. And more exhausting than Rome. “
