“Hard but fair”: Theme & guests of the first show of the year on January 13th

Louis Klamroth is scheduled to moderate 20 “Hart aber fair” programs this year. Debut in 2025: On Monday. That is the topic. These are the guests.

For many years, Frank Plasberg was the defining face of the Monday ARD talk show “Hart aber fair”. At the end of 2022, Plasberg said goodbye to the format and handed it over to Louis Klamroth. The production company Ansager & Schnipselmann continued for another year, but since 2024 the talk show has come from Florida. It is now clear: “Hard but Fair” will also be shown on ARD in 2025, but then less often. There are still 20 issues on order instead of 30. For this purpose, Klamroth has developed a new format for the media library – all information about it here.

Next Monday the Klamroth talk will also be about the currently dominant topic. The election campaign and this time particularly around the issue of migration. Klamroth asks: “The migration debate – how tough will the election campaign be?”
