Overview
- Seconds before 7:30 a.m., the ARD Morgenmagazin handover to Hamburg showed Daubner visible at her desk with makeup items and a water bottle.
- Realizing she was live, she quickly cleared the items, apologized, and greeted viewers before starting the newscast.
- Daubner explained on air that she had not heard the cue because her earpiece was not attached.
- Co-host Till Nassif remarked that Hamburg was still tidying up and noted the morning show had switched over a bit early.
- Outlets described the slip as a light, human moment, noting it follows earlier minor on-air incidents involving Daubner in 2023 and 2024.
