Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt surprises as a guest at the Cologne meeting!

Uelzen, Deutschland - It is always exciting what surprises the television world has. Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt, known as the moderator of the "NDR Talk Show", will appear on July 4, 2025 as a guest in the "Kölner Treff". The show, moderated by Susan Link and Micky Beisenherz, starts at 10:30 p.m. Meyer-Burckhardt can look back on a long list of appearances in the "Kölner Treff" and last inspired the spectators with his personal stories on March 18, 2022 and November 29, 2019. az-online.de reports that he is on these opportunities about his cancer and the difficult relationship with his violent Father spoke.

The "NDR Talk Show", which has been broadcast since the mid-1990s, had a short break between 2001 and 2008, not moderated as Meyer-Burckhardt. Interestingly, in a last interview, he also expressed thoughts about his own funeral and state of health. This makes us think about it - a sign of change in life. Nevertheless, he seems to be a constant in the talk show world.

short time out for the talk shows

But not everything stays the same. On June 20, 2025, both the "NDR Talk Show" and the "Kölner Treff" have to take a break, which is due to the ARD austerity course. The ARD is planning savings of 588 million euros by 2028. As a result, five ARD media houses mutually take over the Friday evening talk. In the meantime, the program "3nach9" and "Riverboat" in the MDR are running instead of the two popular formats. Wa.de has worked out the details of the intelligent guests-names like Heiner Lauterbach and Gisa Flake certainly arouse the viewers' interest.

The program "3nach9", which is considered the oldest still running German talk show, is broadcast on various channels every four weeks on Friday evening and has probably earned its place on German television. Guest moderators such as Wolfgang Menge and Giovanni di Lorenzo shaped the show. This shows how complex and dynamic the talk show landscape in Germany is. Taschenhirn.de lists which formats have inspired the audience over the years and which developments also affect the talk shows.

A look at the talk show story

The talk show culture in Germany has been an integral part of the television world for decades. From "Beckmann" to "Anne Will" to "Markus Lanz" - many formats treated a wide variety of topics and stimulated the audience to think. With these new changes and the focus on savings, the question will also ask what the future of these formats will look like and which new faces the television viewers can expect in the coming months.

So, dear readers, we only have to hope that Meyer-Burckhardt and his colleagues will soon come back to the screens. Because there is always a lot to tell and discuss in the world of talk shows.
