“There are two of us here because one era is coming to an end on German First Television.” Jens Riewa speaks at the end of a “Tagesschau” crown that has been quite common until then. Next to him is his current moderator: Jan Hofer, one last time. The color of his tie always played a role. On this evening it is decorated in a solemn dark pink, appropriate for the occasion. So Riewa now helps him to present the last message of the last Hofer broadcast: Goodbye Jan Hofer, after 35 years in the “Tagesschau”. No speakers were seen for so many years in a row.
A contribution honors Hofer’s long career in the “Tagesschau”. He reported on Chernobyl, Wende, September 11, and often on the Chancellor of Germany. There were only three in his time. Regardless of what happened outside, the first sentence remained the same: “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.” The Hofer reported on more than 35 years of contemporary German history. NDR director Joachim Knuth praised him for his contribution as a “reliable companion for a night” that he would greatly miss.
You can also see the funniest moments of Hofer. The tongue slips were corrected in seconds (“Tomorrow will be cold, hot”). And the rarely flashy clothes (of all things blue and white before the 2014 World Cup final, Germany versus Argentina). Also, of course, Hofer’s recent run on Instagram and Tiktok.
After this honorary contribution to the “Ehrenjan” Hofer, as the social media accounts of the “Tagesschau” call it, a visibly moved Hofer addressed the audience for the last time: “Ladies and gentlemen, that was mine after almost 36 Last years ‘Tagesschau’. A big thank you for being loyal to us and me for so many years “He had expected everything, but not the overwhelming amount of congratulations that had come to him in the last days. A final thanks to your colleagues. They all have one ambition, “and that is to make the best news program for you, and it should remain that way.”
For the Hofer, who is experienced in tiktok, the ending is only logical, that is, visually powerful and self-critical. Hofer loosens his dark pink dress tie and takes it off. “For me, however, it will be the last time today: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Do well.” That’s.
