Television veteran Björn-Hergen Schimpf, best known for hosting shows like "What Am I?" and "A Day Like No Other," suffered a significant personal hardship, as revealed by his lifelong friend Jörg Draeger in a recent issue of "Bunte" magazine. The acclaimed moderator, reportedly battling health issues connected to his left leg for almost a decade, recently underwent an amputation surgery.
Draeger, the host of "Go All the Way!", shared heartfelt words about Schimpf's unexpected predicament: "It's devastating that they had to amputate Björn-Hergen's leg, but he remains as optimistic as ever." He added that the 81-year-old icon continues to lead his life with the same zest and personality we have all come to expect from him.

Although details about Schimpf's illness are scarce, sources indicate that his health troubles with his left leg have persisted for nearly ten years. In 2016, he underwent a bypass to improve blood flow, and, luckily, managed to avoid an amputation at that time.
Björn-Hergen Schimpf commenced his long-lasting career in the late 1970s with Radio Luxembourg, and continued to entertain audiences through RTL shows such as "What Am I?," "Sonnenklar.TV," and "RTL plus." He made his reality TV debut in 2008 on RTL's "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" where he finished in eighth place.
