Steven Gätjen discusses career setbacks and broken industry promises
German television presenter Steven Gätjen has spoken openly about professional setbacks and broken promises within the media industry. During an appearance on Barbara Schöneberger’s podcast, ‘Mit den Waffeln einer Frau’, the 53-year-old moderator discussed the volatility of career hype and the challenges of maintaining momentum.
Gätjen noted that after his involvement with the show ‘taff’, he experienced a significant period without new professional opportunities. He criticized the industry practice of promising future ‘passion projects’ or collaborations to secure a presenter's participation in current shows, only for those promises to go unfulfilled. He also recalled being promised various projects prior to a year-long stay in the United States that did not materialize as expected.
