Ina Müller Calls Early Til Schweiger Interview 'Traumatising' in New Podcast Account

She describes a 2006 NDR Talk Show segment cut short after the guest rejected personal questions.

Overview

  • Müller recounts the episode on Barbara Schöneberger’s podcast Frühstück bei Barbara, reflecting on a formative early-career lapse.
  • She says she was inexperienced at the time, having just moved from regional reporting on Inas Norden and similar assignments into national talk-show hosting.
  • According to her account, Til Schweiger declined to discuss his private life, and the planned 15-minute talk ended after about seven minutes.
  • Müller recalls trying to pass the conversation to co-hosts Jörg Pilawa and Julia Westlake, then throwing her cue cards on the table out of frustration.
  • She says the show’s then-boss later apologized to Schweiger, noting he was on to promote the 2006 film Wo ist Fred?, and no current response from Schweiger is reported.
