Why Ernst Kirchsteiger is leaving the TV screen after 25 years

The beloved presenter Ernst Kirchsteiger is leaving the show after 25 years. Last year he announced that "Summer with Ernst" was being closed down and said it felt right to end "when joy and creativity are at their peak," TV4 says on its website.

In the channel's "New Year's Caramels," Kirchsteiger explained that it's time to do something new:

Normally I start thinking about mulled wine snacks in August, and then I keep going and it builds up, and then Christmas comes, and then I start thinking about summer. It takes up a big part of my life.

Ernst Kirchsteiger has appeared on television for 25 years, 17 of them on TV4, and has made a total of 15 seasons of "Summer with Ernst".
