Jan Hofer
Moving gesture in the last "Tagesschau"
Jan Hofer presented the "Tagesschau" for the last time in 35 years. As a farewell, there was a very special gesture from him for the audience.
It had become almost as much of an institution as the "Tagesschau" itself: After 35 years, Jan Hofer said goodbye to the news program that made him a TV legend. Especially at the end of his moderation, he surprised the audience with a small but very meaningful gesture with which he said goodbye.
"You take care!"
Hofer has spent almost half of his life with the "Tagesschau" – and so it is not surprising that on his last appearance in the studio he abandoned the sober objectivity of the news anchor and addressed the audience for a moment only as a person who turned to many Years ago. Visibly touched, he showed with a wave of the hand how much his life will now change for him.
