Kicking Nervousness: How Michelle Hunziker Tackles Live Performance Anxiety
Dealing with Stage Nervousness: Michelle Hunziker's Approach - Michelle Hunziker Confronts Her Phobia of Bright Lights
When the trio of hosts – Michelle Hunziker (48), Hazel Brugger (31), and Sandra Studer (56) – chatted about their jitters before the Switzerland leg of the Eurovision Song Contest, it was clear the pressure was on.
Brugger likened the whole performance to bungee jumping. "That moment before you leap? Terrifying," she shared with Swiss newspaper "Blick". "But afterwards, it's just a riot!" Hunziker, on the other hand, has her own trick up her sleeve: "For me, it's Swiss schnapps. Seriously, I lead a rather healthy lifestyle, but perhaps a wee nip before the show helps take the edge off the stage fright." Studer, interested in trying this remedy, eagerly awaits the opportunity.
The grand finale is set to rock the St. Jakobshalle in Basel on May 17. This dynamic trio is no stranger to the limelight – Hunziker co-hosted "Wetten, dass..?" with Thomas Gottschalk for years. Brugger made a name for herself with regular appearances on the satirical show "heute-show" and tours with her own stand-up comedy shows. Studios, who represented Switzerland at the ESC in 1991 under the moniker Sandra Simó, is both a singer and an entertainer.
