Also on Thursday there will be no new episode of the talk show “Markus Lanz” on ZDF. The broadcaster confirmed this to FOCUS online. The moderator is still ill. How long Lanz will be out remains unclear when asked. Instead, ZDF will broadcast “Markus Lanz – America without makeup” from 11:15 p.m., a repeat of the January 4, 2022 documentary.
When asked by FOCUS online, the editorial team said in the morning that the show on Thursday evening would be prepared as usual in an editorial conference in the morning. If Lanz falls ill for a long time, the broadcaster in Mainz would have to decide on a possible moderator replacement, not the production company.
