Konec směnným provozům: Důvod odchodu ženy z práce | iGlanc.cz
Dagmar Jandová, widely recognised as the formidable “Quiz Lady” from the popular Czech game show Na lovu (The Hunt), has experienced a significant shift in public life. Her newfound fame has prompted questions about her personal life, a noticeable physical transformation, and how her two daughters react to seeing their mother on television. Jandová recently shared insights into her journey and the unexpected path to television stardom.
A Life in the Public Eye
recognised on the Street?
Jandová confirms she is frequently recognised in public. People often inquire about the experience of filming Na lovu and what her co-host, Ondra Sokol, is like. Initially, many asked if the questions were provided in advance, a concern that has diminished over the five years the show has been running. She playfully responded to early inquiries about thematic categories, suggesting topics like geography, literature, and biology, but clarified that the range of questions is far broader and more unpredictable.
Five Years on Na lovu
Jandová describes the last five years as a surprising success. She hadn’t anticipated the show’s popularity, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of television. However, after watching the British version of the format, she believed it could resonate with Czech audiences, who have a fondness for quizzes and games, especially when combined with Sokol’s humor. Her intuition proved correct.
From Meteorology to Game Shows
A Career Change
Jandová’s professional background is in meteorology, a career she left after twenty years and several months. The primary reason for leaving was the difficulty of balancing shift work with other commitments. She now dedicates her time to creating quizzes, questions, books, and, most notably, board games. The demands of these pursuits ultimately proved too much to manage alongside her previous role.
Climate Change Discussions
While Jandová is a former meteorologist, she clarifies she is not a climatologist, noting that climatology is a distinct field of study. Nevertheless, she affirms her belief in climate change, stating that recent years have been among the warmest on record.
Personal Life and Well-being
A Physical Transformation
Jandová attributes her recent weight loss, a topic of public discussion, to leaving her previous job. Her former position involved a sedentary lifestyle, twelve-hour shifts, and frequent snacking. She now incorporates more physical activity into her routine and has adjusted her diet, reducing her consumption of treats like wafers, chocolates, and sandwiches, though she hasn’t eliminated them entirely.
Balancing Work and Family
Jandová reports an improvement in her work-life balance. Previously, she worked every other weekend, which interfered with family time. She now prioritizes spending time with her daughters, aged eleven and fifteen, while they still desire her company. She’s able to complete her work during the day, unlike before when she often worked late into the night.
Family Reactions to Na lovu
Jandová’s daughters don’t always watch Na lovu due to scheduling conflicts, but they do enjoy the celebrity specials and “Superlov” segments. While they occasionally tease her about her mistakes, they generally find the show entertaining and, she admits, prefer watching her colleagues.
