Jörg Pilawa will no longer be the exclusive presenter and show master for NDR and ARD.
The NDR announced.
Previously, »Bild« reported on the moderator's departure.
"With one interruption, I worked for ARD and NDR for over 20 years and was able to present numerous great and above all successful formats there," Pilawa is quoted in the message: "Of course you go after such a long and intensive one Time with sadness too. "
Pilawa has worked for ARD and NDR since 2001.
In the past few years he has presented the weekly “Quizduell”, the evening show “Quiz without Borders” and the traditional New Year's Eve show.
Pilawa hosted the “NDR Quizshow” on the NDR, sat on the advice team for “Hard to believe” and hosted the “NDR Talk Show” together with Bettina Tietjen.
Return to Sat.1?
"Jörg Pilawa has decided to break new ground as a presenter and showmaster," ARD entertainment director Frank Beckmann is quoted as saying.
“He made the success of the quiz formats possible on the eve of the first.
Unforgettable how he moderated the ›quiz duel‹ live for days, even though nothing technically worked. "
Neither the broadcaster nor Pilawa himself gave any details about the future of the presenter. However, "Bild" had reported that the 56-year-old would switch to Sat.1.
For Pilawa, switching to the ProSiebenSat.1 broadcasting group would be a return to the beginnings.
In 1994 he started his career at Pro7, in the same year he was also working for Sat.1, moderating the Bundesliga magazine »ran«, the talk show »Jörg Pilawa« and »Die Quiz Show«.
A Sat.1 spokesman briefly answered a request from SPIEGEL: There is currently nothing to say about that.
On the first and on NDR television, Pilawa will be seen with already recorded programs from the »Quizduell«, the »Quiz without Borders« and the »NDR Quizshow« until the middle of the year and until the end of the year, respectively.
