After Francine Jordi announced her departure from “Die große Silvestershow,” rumors have surfaced that Andy Borg might be making a return. Now the pop star himself speaks out.
Offenburg – Earlier this year, Francine Jordi (47) unexpectedly announced that she would be leaving “Die große Silvestershow” after nine years. Whether Hans Sigl (55), who has been hosting the former “Musikantenstadl” since 2022, will receive a new co-host or continue on his own remains unclear. Will Andy Borg (63) take over again?
Francine Jordi leaves “Die große Silvestershow”: Will Hans Sigl have to go now?
A brief look back: “Musikantenstadl” was a TV institution for many years. Karl Moik (†77) hosted the TV Schlager show for over 24 years, and in 2006 he was succeeded by Andy Borg. As the moderator of “Musikantenstadl,” he quickly became the favorite of all Schlager fans. In 2015, the TV show underwent a transformation, including a change of hosts and a name change. The Musikantenstadl was to become younger, and Andy Borg had to go.
However, the “anti-aging cure” for the Schlager show did not have the desired effect. After just two shows, ORF, ARD, and SRF announced that they would no longer produce regular broadcasts due to declining viewing figures. Currently, the Schlager show only takes place once a year.
Since Jörg Pilawa (58) left in 2022, the name has been changed for the fourth time and is now called “Die große Silvestershow.” “Der Bergdoktor” star Hans Sigl succeeded Pilawa and has been hosting alongside Francine Jordi. At the beginning of 2024 came the next piece of bad news: after nine years, she announced her resignation from “Die große Silvestershow.” Now the question is: Is Andy Borg returning?

“I can imagine it, because I have produced a few New Year’s shows, and that was really nice,” Andy Borg expressed hope to his fans in an interview with “Super TV,” only to undermine it with the next sentence. “But I wouldn’t do it anymore. I now have my ‘Schlager-Spaß’ time, and I am completely happy and satisfied with that,” the Schlager star honestly reveals.
Who will be hosting “Die große Silvestershow” alongside is still unclear. Speaking of which: Hans Sigl has openly discussed his departure from “Bergdoktor.” Sources used: Super TV – No. 31/24, daserste.de
