ORF: End for the "Barbara Karlich Show"

It is being considered to give Karlich a 45-minute format in the second prime time slot in 2026, according to the "Kleine Zeitung". ORF remained tight-lipped about this and plans to inform at the appropriate time. The public broadcaster also did not comment on the fact that discontinuing the show is expected to save three million euros per year.

End of Filming for "Talk at 4": Barbara Karlich "Never Once" Thought of Quitting

The "Barbara Karlich Show" premiered in October 1999. The show holds the record in the German-speaking region, no other talk show has existed for so long. Over 4,500 episodes have been produced, for some time now under the name "Barbara Karlich - Talk at 4" and without a studio audience. In an APA interview last year, Karlich said: "I always signed for just one year and thought that the time would eventually come when I would get bored and want to do something else. There were offers. But I felt so comfortable, and it was so compatible with family." She never thought about quitting. "Not once."

The 56-year-old cited as a recipe for success that the show, unlike other talks, never degenerated into a "mud wrestling." "Of course, we also had people who were very direct and said things that are no longer acceptable today because political correctness is entirely different. From my point of view, I was always respectful and friendly - to everyone. I always tried never to put the guests on the spot," said Karlich.
