Even during his studies he came to television via the student express service. During the semester break he initially worked as a camera assistant at Hessischer Rundfunk and also produced a science program in the style of his later Knoff Hoff Show , the Physics Circus , which was broadcast on the third television program of Hessischer Rundfunk at the time.
