Johannes B. Kerner was a talk show moderated by Johannes B. Kerner . It was produced from January 15, 1998 by a + i and JBK TV-Production on behalf of ZDF in Hamburg . On October 1, 2009 the program ended after eleven years when Kerner left ZDF; the new program Kerner was broadcast by Sat.1 for the first time on November 2, 2009 and was discontinued after December 15, 2011.
Talk show
The program was originally broadcast once a week on Thursday. Since January 10, 2002, it has been on the air four times a week from Tuesday to Friday. Between December 16, 2004 and May 31, 2008, the broadcast on Friday was not a talk show, but a cooking show: Kerner cooks .
The broadcast has been produced and recorded since September 9, 2003 in the media center in Hamburg-Rotherbaum .
In April 2009 ZDF announced that Johannes B. Kerner would leave the station at the end of the year after working together for twelve years. Different salary expectations were given as the reason. Kerner originally wanted to extend ZDF for three years, but then switched to SAT.1 , where he had already hosted a talk show until 1998.
ZDF and Kerner agreed on an early termination of the contract. The last show, Johannes B. Kerner a Best of, ran on Thursday, October 1st, 2009. The broadcast slot was taken over from Wednesdays to Thursdays by the talk show Markus Lanz by the presenter of the same name. This format was already on Kerner's broadcast slot during the summer break.
Kerner is cooking
The cookery edition was actually born out of necessity. George Clooney , who was scheduled as a guest for the originally planned show, had to cancel due to a herniated disc . So the idea came up to let the cooks who had been invited for the talk show edition of the previous day (December 15, 2004) cook in front of an audience at the time scheduled for Clooney. The chefs were: Johann Lafer , Tim Mälzer , Rainer Sass , Sarah Wiener and Ralf Zacherl .
Since this show was very well received by the audience, the decision was made to cook every Friday at Kerner from January 21, 2005 - initially (and until 2007) under the title Kerner's Cooks . Several chefs and guests were invited to prepare a five-course menu in 60 minutes. Everything was prepared and cooked in the show. After preparing the individual courses, both the other chefs and the audience taste the food and rate it.
The line-up of the cooking team changed, 69 chefs were guests in a hundred editions, including: Alexander Herrmann , Alfons Schuhbeck , Horst Lichter , Cornelia Poletto , Johann Lafer , Mario Kotaska , Frank Rosin , Andreas C. Studer , Kolja Kleeberg , Léa Linster , Stefan Marquard , Nelson Müller , Steffen Henssler , Sarah Wiener and Kim Sohyi .
There was an exception in the program on November 4, 2005, only two chefs were guests: Tim Mälzer and Jamie Oliver .
The studio setting was completely rebuilt for the cooking edition. Because of the cost of the renovation, the cooking programs were usually recorded in the block within a week and then broadcast in the following weeks.
After three and a half years and 123 editions, Kerner handed over the cookery edition of the show to his successor Markus Lanz on May 31, 2008 . While the Friday cooking program and the panel discussions were still formally known as Johannes B. Kerner (informally Kerner kocht ), the new program title, moderated by Markus Lanz, was now officially Lanz kocht! .
In April 2017, the show returned under the title Kerners Köche on the former broadcasting slot of Lafer! Lights! Delicious! back on Saturday afternoon.
Reviews
One of the first critics of Johannes B. Kerner's television program in April 1998 was the publicist Richard David Precht . Massive criticism began during Kerner's advertising activities in connection with Air Berlin's IPO . Air Berlin boss Joachim Hunold , who was friends with Kerner, was a guest on two editions of the talk show. Jürgen Kurz from the Deutsche Schutzgesellschaft für Wertpapierbesitz complained about the fact that many viewers no longer understand the mixture of journalists and the advertising figure Kerner in this “risky area”.
In connection with the rampage in Erfurt , Kerner interviewed an eleven-year-old boy as an eyewitness on the evening of the day. He was then heavily criticized. The criticism of entertainer Harald Schmidt was particularly strong, who rejected the personal acceptance of the media award Goldene Feder from Kerner's hands on May 24, 2002 in protest. In November 2006, Kerner interviewed a 14-year-old kidnap and rape victim, although psychologists had strongly advised against it. In this context, the NDR wrote of "media abuse"; the child is a victim of reporting and commercial interests.
On October 9, 2007, Kerner said goodbye to former Tagesschau spokeswoman Eva Herman after 55 minutes prematurely from his talk show. Kerner had wanted to give the controversial author, who had been accused of lacking demarcation to family policy under National Socialism since an ambiguous statement about her latest book publication in early September 2007 in a broad public debate , the opportunity to correct it. After a few verbal battles over the formulations she had chosen and possible misrepresentations of her utterances, the scandal broke out. The FAZ commented: “Two to three times a year, the mostly toothless presenter Johannes B. Kerner absolutely wants to demonstrate that he can also bite powerfully.” A few days later, Herman accused Kerner of having been overwhelmed in his program. In an interview, Kerner stated that the program was not editorially thought through to the end.
The course of the program was also the subject of a meeting of the ZDF television council chaired by Ruprecht Polenz ( CDU ) on December 7, 2007. On the one hand, the committee confirmed that the editorial team had made mistakes that had already begun with the selection of guests on the planned topic of “family policy” and, on the other hand, an unsuccessful course of the conversation, to which Kerner also contributed significantly. The TV council announced that the TV council would pay particular attention to the format. At the same time, the broadcaster was allowed to close the accompanying online forum on January 15, so that the - mostly critical - posts can only be read and no longer commented on.
In a discussion about the sense of cancer screening examinations , Kerner said: "I am largely free of opinion." Stefan Niggemeier also criticized the misleading treatment of the program with the topic of medical statistics:
“The question of whether Kerner should be a presenter on ZDF is not just a question of taste and sympathy. It is also a question of whether one can expect such a broadcaster to make people smarter and not dumber. "
