New show for Joël Gilgen

On January 3, Joël Gilgen hosted his final episode of «Swiss Date.» The 38-year-old will launch his new show, «Ganz privat,» as early as the end of January.

After Joël Gilgen hosted his last episode of "Swiss Date" on January 3, he will start his new show "Ganz privat" at the end of January. However, the 38-year-old will not be spilling the beans from his own sewing box: "I ring up people I don't know at all and have them show me their homes and tell me about their lives," the presenter was quoted as saying in a press release on Wednesday. "This new format is a great challenge and requires a high degree of flexibility from everyone involved." The program, produced by Prime Time, will be broadcast daily at 5 pm on Tele Züri from Monday, January 26, 2009.
The format is sponsored by Erdgas Ostschweiz, Merkur Confiserien and Gottlieber Hüppen.
Who will succeed Joël Gilgen on the matchmaking show "Swiss Date" will be decided at the current casting. At the moment, ten candidates are still in the running for the presenter's job.
