TV star Jörg Pilawa
Does Jörg Pilawa (43) remain a presenter at ARD or does he change to ZDF ? For weeks people speculated in the show industry about whether the popular TV star will succeed the talk king Johannes B. Kerner (44). For Jörg Pilawa it is certainly about money, but also much more work. That's why it's one of the hardest decisions he has to make in his life.
