Kerner regrets Eva Herman's sacking

 German presenter Johannes B. Kerner regrets how the infamous show went last October, which Eva Herman left prematurely. He had "only wanted the best" with the show, said the talk show host in an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung. However, "the right thing didn't come out of it". He had made the wrong decision at the time: "When Eva Herman wanted to leave, I could have said: No, no, stay here. Nobody gets kicked out here. There's enough room back there," explained Kerner. He wanted to talk to Herman about the role of mothers in society. He only wanted to deal with the presenter and author's controversial statements about the Nazi era as an introduction. The show did not develop as he had assumed: "The mistake was that we didn't think the show through to the end editorially. We didn't have such a reaction from her in mind," says Kerner.
In the same interview, the presenter also announced that he wanted to give up his cooking show and concentrate more on sports reporting instead.
