As an RTL anchorman, Jan Hofer opens a new chapter in his life. This is also documented in his clothing.
Berlin – In front of almost 15 million viewers, Jan Hofer took off his tie at his last “Tagesschau” in 2020 – and he doesn’t want to wear it again on television if possible.
“Taking off the tie was also a symbol that a phase in my life is over. And that’s why you can also see: The tie is missing. It doesn’t get back to it either. Unless it is urgently necessary, ”said the former“ Tagesschau ”head spokesman and upcoming RTL anchorman at the start of his new news program“ RTL Direkt ”next Monday at 10:15 pm. “I can’t wait to get started.”
Everything about the format is being created anew, Hofer praised visibly enthusiastically. “When in life do you have the chance to do something completely new? To help design something, to help shape it and then to bring it to the stage as a moderator? More is simply not possible, ”emphasized the 69-year-old. “Besides, I never said I was going to retire. But on the contrary. I just accepted the most attractive offer I was offered and that was this one. “
To this day, he has a kind of stage fright before every show, says Hofer. “I think if you really took this as a routine you would have lost. There is always a tingling sensation in your stomach, before every broadcast. At the moment this is intensified because many things are still new, a lot still needs to be coordinated, technology plays a role, interaction with new colleagues plays a role. There are many aspects that play a role, but we are on an unbelievably good path and we will take off on Monday. ”Dpa
