Christa Rigozzi and Max Loong host "The Voice of Switzerland
Starting January 27, 2020, fans of the talent show «The Voice of Switzerland» can once again cheer on Swiss singing talents on 3+. Christa Rigozzi and host and actor Max Loong will form the new hosting duo.
Rigozzi is no stranger to viewers of the Neo-CH Media TV channel, as she has co-hosted the show "Bauer, Ledig, Sucht ..." on and off since 2008. "I am very excited to be able to host 'The Voice of Switzerland'! In this format, I want to experience not only the music, but also the soul, the stories and the hearts of the participants and jurors. The songs will also play an important role. I am betting on the surprise card. The already heard, the already seen will not be there. And I want young children's talent to have a chance thanks to this platform. We need strong emotions, voices that hit the heart and gut: We are looking for voices that will never be forgotten," says the Ticino native about her new job as "The Voice of Switzerland" host.
39-year-old Max Loong began his hosting career around 20 years ago on Swizz, which later became Viva Swizz. Then came his international breakthrough in 2006 with his own show on MTV Asia. With his show, the Zurich native with Malaysian roots reached 100 million households. This opened further doors for him, and he went on to host shows for various well-known TV stations in Asia, including Fox Asia for a long time. In the meantime, he was also active as an actor again and again.
Now he co-hosts the singing talent show with Rigozzi: "The team of 'The Voice of Switzerland' - starting with my co-host Christa, to the coaches, to the production team of 3+ - I couldn't imagine a better constellation. I'm really looking forward to this new adventure, you can look forward to great talents," says Loong about his new challenge.
In the upcoming print edition of Werbewoche, read an interview with Roger Elsener, Managing Director TV & Radio at CH Media, about the successful in-house formats and the new acquisition 3+.
