For the 100th episode of “Gredig direct”, the SRF talker says why he prefers to question his guests properly and critically and reveals which counterpart he has had the most heart palpitations with.
Former US Vice President Mike Pence, former Federal Councilor Christoph Blocher, feminist Alice Schwarzer, tennis idol Roger Federer, star chef Daniel Humm or show star Michelle Hunziker – Urs Gredig (52) welcomes important guests to his talk show “Gredig direkt” every week.
The journalist from Graubünden manages to make personalities feel comfortable in his TV living room, from entertainers to established politicians. Pop singer Helene Fischer even told him about her almost burnout.
A feel-good talk? There are critics who find Gredig’s interview style too well-behaved. Gredig counters: «I’m good up to a certain point, if it serves the conversation. But if it has to be less good and critical, then so am I. I have the feeling that you get more out of a guest if you question them critically.”
For the 100th episode “Gredig direct”, the 52-year-old TV journalist reveals which guest had his heart palpitations the most and who made him skid the most.
And for those who are at the top of their guest wish list. A former world leader has already given him the cold shoulder, but the SRF talker and “10vor10” anchor is not thinking of giving up.
In the interview above, he reveals who his dream interviewee is.
Anniversary show “Gredig direct” with ex-ski star Maria Walliser will be broadcast on SRF1 on Thursday, February 16 at 10:25 p.m.
