TV-Presenter Cherno Jobatey is "Germany’s most entertaining alarm clock", the conservative newspaper FAZ (04/05/06) muses.

TV-Presenter Cherno Jobatey, "a popular host of pubcaster ZDF's Morgenmagazin" (VARIETY) has "shaped ZDF- Morning News with his irrepressible zest" states Germany's people magazine BUNTE (24/06). "His winning smile has long been part of the TV-show", cheers Cologne Paper „Express" for the “well-known German TV anchorman” (Washington Post). "No one is quite as entertaining" adds Germany's tv guide Hoer Zu about the morning news anchor.

But his easy going sense of humour early in the morning is not liked by everybody. It just so happened that the German Minister for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection simply didn't know an appropriate answer to a question that was put with the winning smile and very affable manner of his host, the "news junkie" (Welt) TV-Presenter Cherno Jobatey. It was a question about Germany's recent food scandal when rotten meat was sold in parts of the country. The Minister just couldn’t explain the reasoning behing his ministry's guidelines and regulations.

TV-Presenter Cherno Jobatey never forgot where he came from. When he was a child his family had to get by on welfare benefits. That's why Cherno is engagaged in several Charity activities focussing on families and children. For his longtime charity work, German President Horst Koehler, patron of the initiative Germany Land of Ideas awarded Cherno Jobatey in April 2009 the "Winning-Idea-Price".

Morning news anchor Cherno Jobatey is the „TV-Darling”! raves Europe’s biggest tabloid BILD (09/09/07). "The most high-profile black journalist in televison" (The Times 07/13/07) explains world event at dawn on the small screen in Germany's Number One morning news show "ZDF-Morgenmagazin". TV-Presenter Cherno Jobatey broadcasts live and direct from Berlin’s political heart, close to Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag. Because that’s where the political action is.
