Julia Westlake hosts "I Have a Big Name"

The weekly SWR quiz show “I have a big name” is getting a new presenter: From January 2020, cultural journalist Julia Westlake will host the show – the first episodes hosted by her are currently being recorded in Baden-Baden.

Julia Westlake has been part of the celebrity panel since 2007. “I have a big name” is broadcast on Sundays at 18:15 p.m. on SWR television.

Westlake commented: "I'm delighted to be switching sides at 'I Have a Big Name'. After more than ten years on the panel, it's an honour to now be taking over the hosting of this quiz show! It's a great job, because this mix of talk and quiz is unique, exciting and never boring! I've loved the show for a long time, and now I get to experience it from a different perspective, which is really great."

SWR program director Christoph Hauser welcomes Westlake: "We are delighted to have been able to gain an experienced and accomplished presenter in Julia Westlake. She has been closely associated with the show since 2007 as a member of the 'I have a big name' panel and is extremely popular with viewers. As a long-time presenter of the NDR talk show and the NDR culture journal, she is a guarantee for high-quality discussions and stands for the best public service quality journalism. We look forward to continuing the popular quiz show with her in a new guise."
