Thilo Mischke Dropped as ARD Culture Show Host Following Backlash

The journalist faced criticism over past works and accusations of sexism, prompting ARD to reverse its decision to appoint him as a co-host of 'ttt.'

Thilo Mischke will no longer co-host ARD's 'ttt - titel, thesen, temperamente' after public criticism over his past book and accusations of sexism.
The backlash centered on Mischke's 2010 book 'In 80 Frauen um die Welt,' which critics claim promotes a sexist and problematic narrative.
A protest letter signed by prominent cultural figures, including author Sasa Stanisic, called for ARD to reconsider Mischke's appointment.
ARD stated that the decision to part ways was mutual, aiming to protect both the show's and Mischke's reputations from further damage.
Mischke, known for his award-winning investigative journalism, has yet to publicly comment on the controversy or his removal from the role.
