Jörg Pilawa is one of Germany’s most popular television faces and is a quota magnet for ARD. Now he’s changing employers. Nonetheless, viewers will continue to see him on Das Erste for months.
TV presenter Jörg Pilawa and ARD go their separate ways. According to a report by «Bild» newspaper the popular quiz master switches to the private broadcaster Sat.1. “With one interruption, I worked for ARD and NDR for over 20 years, where I was able to present numerous great and, above all, successful formats,” said the 56-year-old. “I’m very grateful to ARD and especially NDR for that. Of course you leave with sadness after such a long and intense time. “
The “Bild” reported that Sat.1 will broadcast Pilawa’s first show on the new broadcaster as early as the spring. The entertainer will present different formats over the year.
The 56-year-old is one of Germany’s most famous television faces and is a ratings magnet for ARD. Just last week, 3.81 million viewers saw his New Year’s Eve show on Das Erste. But he is mainly present with the ARD pre-evening program “Quizduell”.
In the beginning of the year, Pilawa will be seen a few more times with already recorded shows on Erste and NDR television. “Until the middle of the year he will moderate the” Quizduell “on Friday evening at 6:50 pm, and all episodes of the” NDR Quizshow “for 2022 have already been recorded and can be seen on NDR television until the end of the year,” said the NDR. On February 5th at 8:15 pm, Erste, ORF and Swiss Television will broadcast an episode of “Quiz without Borders” for the last time under the direction of Jörg Pilawa.
