Günther Jauch (66) and his criticism of ZDF causes great discussions!

The moderator had complained about the political influence on the station in the “Offener Kanal Bitburg”. It also tells of a very personal experience. Without them, his career might have been very different…

Jauch: “I received an offer very early on that I should be the second man in the ‘heute-journal’. That would have been the greatest thing for me.” A job interview is said to have taken place. “The CSU supposedly had the claw on this post.” As a former moderator of the Bavarian Radio, he actually had good chances.

In 1990, Günther Jauch (r.) and Thomas Gottschalk (l.) interviewed the then Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl on ZDF

But: “Then the CSU threw their hands over their heads because they knew me from Bayerischer Rundfunk and I was anything but CSU, I was completely independent.”

The refusal was then justified by the fact that he was not considered “reliable enough”. “You actually didn’t take me for these party reasons.” The moderation went to Sigmund Gottlieb (71), who is close to the CSU.

The journalist and longtime editor-in-chief of Bayerischer Rundfunk is surprised at the Jauch statements. He to BILD: “I have to laugh out loud that he goes public with this old hat.”

And: “Man, Günther, you’re the man for easy things, you’ve earned tens of millions with entertainment – that’s wonderful!”
