Career

In 2004 Alice Tumler joins TRACE TV in Paris to record voice-overs in French, English and German and hosts her first minor shows as a TV host.

The same year, she hosts her first weekly show “Le monde en direct” on French TV channel VOYAGE.

In December 2004 she co-hosts the KORA All African Music Awards, the biggest pan-African music prize, in Johannesburg, South Africa.  

After a two-year break, during which she travels through South America and Asia, she is spotted by the French production company KM Production and joins the French-German cultural channel ARTE to co-host the music program ONE SHOT NOT together with French drummer Manu Katché in French, English and German.

Between 2007 and 2014 Alice Tumler presents all sorts of different music shows and cultural events on ARTE, such as ARTE Lounge, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Les Vielles Charrues, the Hell Fest, the Jazz Open Stuttfart, “La Bohème en banlieu” or “Musik entdecken mit Thomas Hengelbrock: Romeo und Julia”.

In 2010 she travels along the Argentinian and Brazilian coast to shoot travel documentaries for THALASSA on France 3.

After giving birth to her first daughter she integrates the Austrian public service ORF in 2013 and host the prime-time entertainment show “Die grosse Chance”.

In Austria, her notoriety grows quickly and her international and multilingual personality enable her to present numerous international TV shows, such as the “Life Ball”, the world’s biggest charity event in the fight against AIDS.

After Conchita Wurst’s victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, Alice Tumler is selected to be one of the hosts of the 60th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria, in 2015 together with Arabella Kiesbauer and Mirjam Weichselbraun.

After Eurovision, Alice Tumler decides to withdraw for the small screen.

In December 2017 she is invited to interview French president Emmanuel Macron in Accra, Ghana for the program “TRACE Meets Macron” – an exchange between the president and the African youth.
