Eva Herman (born Eva Feldker 9 November 1958 in Emden, Lower Saxony) is a German author and television presenter. She worked as a news presenter on the nationwide Tagesschau news programme from 1989 to 2006 and also presented various other television programmes for the Norddeutscher Rundfunk until 2007. In 2003, an opinion poll by TNS Emnid professed Herman to be "Germany's favourite presenter". However, a number of her statements in books and the media regarding gender roles and family values led to widespread public controversy in 2006 and her dismissal from the German national broadcaster ARD the following year.
During an edition of Die Johannes B. Kerner Show (1998), she repeated her remarks regarding the family politics of the Nazis, so host Johannes B. Kerner finally asked her to leave the studio because the other guests didn't want to sit next to her any longer (9 October 2007).
