Sarah Kuttner

Sarah Kuttner is a German presenter and author based in Berlin. She has regularly appeared on the music television channel VIVA since November 2001 after being selected out of 1500 other participants in a casting held in summer of that year. Her popularity increased rapidly and in August 2004 she started to host her own show called Sarah Kuttner – Die Show, a variation on the popular late show concept with comedy, a sidekick (Sven Schuhmacher), talk guests and musical guests. Kuttner wrote a weekly column in the national daily newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and a monthly column in music magazine Musikexpress. Both were compiled in two books, Das oblatendünne Eis des halben Zweidrittelwissens (March 2006) and Die anstrengende Daueranwesenheit der Gegenwart (March 2007). Das oblatendünne Eis enjoyed a moderate success in Germany with mixed but largely positive reviews. Especially TV personality Harald Schmidt emphasized his admiration for the book. Kuttner published two novels, called Männerexemplare and Wachstumsschmerz.
