Introduction
Mirjam Weichselbraun is an Austrian television host. Her job is a bit of a new thing for Austrians, who are used to more conservative jobs like “genius physicist,” “genius psychologist,“, “paranoid dictator“ and “Governor of California.”
Life story
Her first experience in broadcasting was with the regional radio station Antenne Tirol in 1999 and she first appeared in front of the camera in 2001 on the culture program Das Magazin on the channel TV Tirol. What sort of “culture” the program concerned we are not sure. But it’s likely that there was dancing, and that monkeys were touched. [citation needed]
In 2000, Mirjam was voted the BRAVO-Girl of the year among 25.000 contestants. Bravo is a teen magazine within the German language sphere, which means that their website instructs users to do funny things like, “Checken & mittanzen!”
In January of 2002, Weichselbraun joined the newly started music channel VIVA PLUS in Cologne, where she hosted the show Cologne Day. After only eight months she switched to MTV Germany in Berlin, where she hosted the live show MTV Select until January 2005. Cologne Day was never the selben without Mirjam.
While working for MTV in Germany, she has interviewed some of the most famous artists in the music business including Jon Bon Jovi and Nickelback. Unfortunately, Nickeback is one of the most famous artists in the music business.
She currently presents on TRL in Germany with Joko (not a clown, though should be with a name like that) and occasionally with Patrice and Karolin (but only when Joko is on vacation). Oh, Joko!
