About Markus Hennig
Markus Hennig worked for many years as a radio journalist and has written for television. He won the Grimme Award for the “Switch Reloaded” parody of classic television show “Wetten dass...?”. He won it once again as editor-in-chief of “ZDF Magazin Royale”, along with the German Television Award on two occasions.
