The exceptional and multi-talented Kerkeling can already gaze back on a long, mutual history with the GOLDEN CAMERA from HÖRZU. In both 1990 and 2005, he was respectively awarded the coveted trophy for his program "total normal" and as "Best TV Entertainer". In addition, for several years he was the presenter of the "Lilli Palmer and Curd Jürgens Memorial Camera", bestowing the award to the best new acting talents within the scope of the gala event.

"Hape Kerkeling is the quintessential entertainer, and his mere presence is a guarantee for an entertaining evening. He is a virtual master in the art of combining entertainment and moderation. That’s why we are so looking forward to having him host the GOLDEN CAMERA 2010 for the very first time, and elated that he has taken on this engagement," says Jochen Beckmann, Publishing Director for Program and Women’s Magazines at Axel Springer AG.
