Makeup Mix-Up Catches Tagesschau’s Susanne Daubner On Air During ARD Morning Handover

The brief slip reflected the tight timing of repeated morning handovers between Cologne and Hamburg.

Overview

  • Around 7:30 a.m. Friday, ARD-Morgenmagazin cut to the Tagesschau while Susanne Daubner was still applying makeup, prompting her on-air apology.
  • Daubner explained she had not yet inserted her earpiece and therefore missed the cue from the control room.
  • Hosts Anna Planken and Till Nassif reacted with light humor and noted their handover was a bit early before Daubner continued the bulletin without issue.
  • Tagesschau shared the clip on Instagram with a self-deprecating caption, drawing significant engagement reported as tens of thousands of likes.
  • NDR said presenters are switched into the show eight times within three and a half hours, and coverage placed the moment alongside Daubner’s prior harmless live glitches, including a 2023 laughing fit.
