“Go to the TV!” – A Personal Story by Jeannine Michaelsen

My name is Jeannine Michaelsen. I am a woman. I’m 40. I work in television. In this universe, I regularly despair of the structures, men, women, baby animals, sexism, bad coffee and myself. I also have a child. Homemade and messed up. In the meantime, I’m still menstruating regularly. When things go really crazy, these things even happen in parallel. How did all this happen, you ask? Rightly so! And, just as important: what had to happen and what couldn’t happen for this to happen? Let’s clarify. Very intimate. Just her and me And wine, woman (me), wit and song. And hopefully a few more people, because theater like this is expensive.

Jeannine Michaelsen has been known to the general public as the moderator of the Joko & Klaas formats – for a good 20 years she has been moderating a wide variety of formats at ARTE, ZDFinfo, ZDFneo, VOX, ProSieben and KiKA. Since 2021 “No two men” – monthly podcast.
