Aber wie verhält es sich mit der Einstellung zur Zeit, wenn man plötzlich merkt, dass sie auch bald ablaufen könnte?

Niemand im deutschen Fernsehen ist so verspottet und beschimpft worden wie Markus Lanz. Spätestens nach dem Ende von 'Wetten, dass ..?' schien der Moderator erledigt, 'einer wie er dürfte eigentlich nie eine Talkshow moderieren', schrieb die Frankfurter Rundschau noch 2019. Wenige Jahre später hat Markus Lanz aus seiner Talkshow eine der wichtigsten politischen Bühne des Landes gemacht, ohne ihn wäre Karl Lauterbach wahrscheinlich nie Bundesgesundheitsminister geworden.

The pitch went like this: Chris Butler, a retired cop, ran a private investigator firm in Concord, California. His business had a fascinating angle - his firm was staffed entirely by soccer moms. In fact, Butler employed PI Super Moms: attractive, organized, smart, and trained in investigative techniques, self-defense, and weaponry.

How does an ordinary-colored-girl get her own talk show in 1973 covering Southern New England? Not by being a good girl. She wasn't always bad, she'd tell you. It wasn't until she met "him".
