Italian television host Amadeus has addressed his recent career shifts following his departure from Rai and his subsequent tenure at Discovery. In an interview with Chi, he admitted that his time at the Nove channel did not achieve the expected results, noting the psychological difficulty of seeing viewership shares drop from 72% to 2%.
Amadeus clarified that his decision to leave Rai was not motivated by money, asserting that his contracts with both Rai and Discovery were economically identical in terms of duration and compensation. He expressed a desire to move forward, stating that changing paths is a matter of courage rather than failure.
Regarding future projects, Amadeus confirmed he will take on the role of technical commissioner for the 26th edition of the talent show Amici, hosted by Maria De Filippi. While rumors suggest a potential return to Rai or a move to Mediaset, he has not ruled out a return to the public broadcaster in the future.
