Susanne Daubner Recovers Quickly After Brief On-Air Glitch on Tagesschau

An early video cue prompted a brief aside that underscored the veteran presenter's poise.

Overview

  • At the start of Tagesschau’s 8 p.m. flagship edition, a video clip played early as the camera cut to anchor Susanne Daubner.
  • She glanced left toward the screen and was heard saying, “Ich wundere mich gerade …” before turning back to the lens.
  • Within moments she resumed the script and finished the roughly 16-minute newscast without further issues.
  • About five million people watched that broadcast, and the 8 p.m. edition has recently posted a 42.7% market share in Germany.
  • Daubner, 65, has led the program for decades, and past minor live slips have not affected her reputation or the show’s dominance.
