Jörg Kachelmann is stepping down and will only be the host of "Riverboat" every 14 days. Kim Fisher gets a prominent replacement for it.
There are now even more stars in the MDR talk show "Riverboat": From February 5, Kim Fisher (51) will welcome a prominent TV star every 14 days as a guest presenter at her side, the broadcaster announced. As previously announced, Jörg Kachelmann (62) will step down and moderate the talk with Kim Fisher as usual, alternating weekly. Fisher and Kachelmann have been leading the talk show since January 2019.
Wolfgang Lippert (68) starts as a guest presenter on February 5th. "I'm looking forward to a wonderful evening with exciting guests at the side of the wonderful Kim Fisher," said Lippert about his new temporary role at "Riverboat". The secret of the next co-moderation will then be revealed at the end of a program with Kim Fisher and Jörg Kachelmann, according to the broadcast.
"A great surprise bag"
Kim Fisher is looking forward to her new colleagues: "I actually found my dream work partner in Jörg Kachelmann – but also the idea of sitting in the living rooms of our viewers every two weeks with a new partner , I find it very charming. This will be a great surprise bag for all of us every time. I don't know exactly what it will be, but I know for sure that it will be entertaining. So perfect for a talk show. To put it in Rudi Carrell's words : 'Let yourself be surprised!'"
Moderator Jörg Kachelmann announced at the end of 2020 that he would like to spend more time in Switzerland with his family in the future and therefore wanted to take a little less time. He will continue to host the talk show every 14 days from February 12th.
