Watch “Tatort” again, then the time has come: the new one in the Sunday talk takes over. Anne doesn’t want any more. Now it’s Caren’s turn. Those are big shoes she’s putting on. And it won’t do her any good to occasionally take them off and get on a table. Like when she honored the late artist Robin Williams in this way in the “Tagesthemen” and sent half the country into raptures with a touch of dubiousness.
Now Caren Miosga has to show what she can do. In the largest German TV talk, which includes the prey viewers of the Sunday crime drama. There they will be sitting again at the new large table, the usual chatterbox professionals: politicians, experts, journalists and of course Gerhart Baum, 91.
Will the new government properly parry, or even prevent, excessive campaign prose and cowardly evasion? Will she be strict enough? Sure, of course! Miosga is used to being underestimated. When she took over the “Tagesthemen”, people asked themselves: Can she do politics? Now we know: she can. We’ll venture a prediction: Maybe there will be a few jerks at the beginning, but after just three or four broadcasts we’ll have the feeling that the discussion was never moderated by anyone else.
However, TV stations should stop doing one vain bad habit: naming their talks after the hosts. Couldn’t Miosga’s show just be called “Talk nachm Tatort”?
