Overview
- MDR and participating ARD editorial teams confirmed on Wednesday that Thilo Jahn will join ttt as second moderator and will work alongside Siham El‑Maimouni.
- Jahn will make his first appearance on 30 August and is scheduled to present four editions this year, roughly one third of the programme’s shows.
- Siham El‑Maimouni will remain the programme’s main presenter and is expected to lead about two thirds of the annual episodes.
- MDR says Jahn was chosen in a careful, point‑based, multi‑stage selection that resulted in a unanimous vote and that the choice aims to avoid a repeat of the backlash over Thilo Mischke in late 2024.
- The appointment comes as MDR pursues cautious format development for ttt, including a ttt talk and reportages, while MDR culture head Jana Cebulla prepares to move to RBB in July.
