Anne Will: The talk show host receives rave reviews from Robert Habeck in her last broadcast

German political journalist Anne Will presented the ARD talk show of the same name for the last time after 16 years on Sunday evening. German Economics Minister Robert Habeck, who was a guest at the show, called the show ‘style-defining’.

Finally, 57-year-old Will said into the camera to the audience: “I would also like to thank you for the great trust and interest you have shown us. It must be said that we have spent many hours together in just over 16 years. I must say it was a pleasure.”

The 57-year-old presented the political lecture on the public broadcaster First German Television ARD for 16 years. She is one of the best-known political journalists in the country. At the beginning of this year it was announced that she would give up her talk show and would like to devote herself to new projects. Now Will announced that she would continue working with NDR and ARD. “That is obvious.” What exactly she will do has not yet been announced.

Will then announced her successor Caren Miosga as follows: “Be nice to her, she is too.” In exactly the same way, TV presenter Miosga (54) recently announced her successor on ‘Tagesthemen’, Jessy Wellmer.

The last broadcast was entitled: “The world in disarray – is Germany up to the challenges?” In addition to Habeck and Kermani, the chairman of the German Historical Museum Foundation, Raphael Gross, and the futurologist and director of the research department of the NATO Defense College, Florence Gaub, were present.
