— Thomas Gottschalk (b. 1950), Radio- und Fernsehmoderator, Entertainer

Thomas Gottschalk (* 1950) ist ein deutscher Radio- und Fernsehmoderator, der über Jahrzehnte vor allem durch die Unterhaltungssendung „Wetten, dass..?“ bekannt wurde.

Für Bibelleser ist er als prominente Medienfigur von Interesse, die sich öffentlich zu katholischen Wurzeln, persönlichem Gottvertrauen und eigenen Glaubenszweifeln äußert.
