Last talk show - It all began in the early nineties: a look back at Anne Will's career
For many years, the Sunday evening slot after "Tatort" belonged to her: Anne Will shaped the television landscape with her own talk show. After 16 years, she is now calling it quits. On December 3, 2023, the 57-year-old will host her talk show for the last time. Guests include Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck and author Navid Kermani. The topic of the show is: "The world in disarray - is Germany up to the challenges?"
Anne Will always seemed to be up to any challenge. After her studies, she volunteered at Sender Freies Berlin and presented her first programs. It was a milestone when she became the first woman to present "Sportschau" in 1999. The next career step followed in 2001 with "Tagesthemen". Finally, in 2007, she got her own talk show, which started on Sundays, then ran on Wednesdays and finally became a permanent institution on Sunday evenings again.

"I have always enjoyed doing the show immensely and am incredibly grateful for the trust placed in my journalistic work and the great success of our show," said the 57-year-old when it was announced that she was quitting at the end of the year. It is not yet known what exactly Will will be doing in the future. She only said: "2024 is the year for a new start! Then it will be time for change, other projects, new perspectives."
