Both of his parents were involved in the art history field. After graduating from high school in 1976, Willemsen began studying German, philosophy, art history and ethnology. He initially studied in Bonn, but then also went to Florence, Munich and Vienna. His preferred area of research, which also influenced his doctorate, was the work of the writer Robert Musil. Willemsen initially worked in the scientific field. From 1984 to 1986 he was an assistant for literary studies, then in 1986/87 he was a lecturer at the University of Munich. From 1988 to 1990 Willemsen lived in London, where he worked as a freelancer for print media and broadcasting. At the same time, the humanities scholar also began working as a freelance writer and translator. He primarily published art and cultural travel guides, but also studies on social issues and portraits of special people and their fates.

Willemsen entered television in 1991/92, where he initially moderated the interview program "0137" on the pay-TV channel Premiere and interviewed numerous international stars and celebrities. In 1993/94 the talk show "Willemsen - The TV Talk" followed on the same station. As a moderator, Willemsen made a name for himself primarily because of his sensitive conversation style, his spontaneous conversation and his grammatically correct and linguistically sophisticated expression. However, Willemsen became known to the wider German television audience through his popular talk show "Willemsen's Week", which was broadcast on ZDF from 1994 to 1998. It went down in recent television history as an intelligent and intellectual TV talk.

Willemsen then moved to WDR at the beginning of 1999 to present the cultural program "Nachtkultur mit Willemsen", which was broadcast until November 2000. Willemsen also appeared again and again as presenter of the ZDF cultural format "aspekte", alternating with other colleagues. In the 1990s, Willemsen also produced and/or directed several TV productions that were shown as documentaries on ZDF and Arte. The contributions were created as part of his own TV production company, which Willemsen founded under the name "Noa-Noa Fernsehenproduktion GmbH". From 1995 to 1996 he took on a visiting professorship for literary studies at the University of Munich. He also taught at the University of Film and Television in Munich. In 1996 the portrait episode "Willemsen's Contemporaries" was broadcast. In the same year he made his directorial debut with the documentary "Non Stop - A Journey with Michel Petrucciani" on ZDF.

From 1999 to 2001 Willemsen also produced and presented "Willemsen's Music Magazine" for the Second German Television. Willemsen contributed his own project to the EXPO in Hanover in 2000: the video installation "Welcome Home - Artists See Germany" documented the image of Germany by numerous artists in the German Pavilion. He also moderated the "Stage Talk" at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg during the 2000/01 season. From the summer of 2001, Willemsen continued to distinguish himself as a producer and presenter of the interactive AOL program "Talk am Millerntor" and the ZDF portrait series "Gipfeltreffen". In the latter, until the end of 2001, he presented double portraits of two prominent residents for a selected city. After 11 years of commitment to television, Willemsen temporarily withdrew from the TV business at the end of 2001. He then undertook a trip through the Federal Republic that lasted several months, the literary result of which was Willemsen publishing the successful book "Deutschlandreise" in 2002.

In February 2004, Willemsen returned to electronic media as presenter of the "Literature Club" on Swiss television (SF). In the same year, the book "Gute Tage. Encounters with People and Places" marked another highlight in his literary work. The work, which was also presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2004, describes the author's encounters with people of our time and around the world, from the Dalai Lama to Harald Schmidt to Madonna. Willemsen was awarded the Golden Cable and the Bavarian Television Prize in 1992 for his "0137" moderation. A year later he received the Adolf Grimme Prize. Since 2010 he has been an honorary professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He also became a member of the PEN Center Germany and the editorial advisory board of the magazine Kulturtausch.

He was awarded the German Audio Book Prize in 2015 for "The High House. A Year in Parliament". In the same year it was announced that Willemsen was suffering from cancer.

Roger Willemsen died on February 7, 2016 in Wentorf, Hamburg.

However, Kerner grew up in Berlin and attended high school there. After graduating from high school in 1983, he studied business administration. However, since Kerner actually wanted to go into the media industry, he completed a traineeship at Sender Freies Berlin (SFB) in 1986/87. Here he worked for SFB television as a sports reporter in the programs "Sport 3" and "SFB Sportreport" until 1992. In 1992, Kerner signed a contract with "SAT.1", for which he worked as a presenter and commentator on the sports programs "ran" and "ranissimo". During the 1994 World Cup, the increasingly popular sports reporter was featured in the World Cup magazine "ran USA '94".

From 1996 onwards, Kerner also demonstrated his abilities as a presenter outside of sports journalism: he now went on air with his first daily talk show, which was broadcast on SAT.1 for two years under the title "Kerner". Towards the end of 1997, Kerner switched from this private channel to the second public channel. He developed into one of the figureheads of ZDF, for which he moderated the "Current Sportstudio" and the annual review "People" and "Our Best". In January 1998, Kerner went on air with his own weekly talk show "Johannes B. Kerner" on ZDF, in which he spoke every Thursday with prominent people as well as ordinary people about their life stories.

Also from 1998, Kerner also took on tasks as a live football reporter, including at major events such as the 1998 World Cup in France and the 2000 European Championships in Belgium and the Netherlands. ZDF also relied on Johannes B. Kerner for its Olympic coverage from Sydney 2000 and the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Kerner's talk show became one of the most successful German talk shows with an average of more than two million viewers. At the beginning of 2002, the weekly broadcast time was expanded to four weekly broadcast times from Tuesday to Friday. Kerner has already received several awards, including the youth magazine "Bravo" awarding him the "Otto" readers' award four times between 1996 and 1999: two times in silver and two times in bronze.

In 1996 he was awarded the "Golden Lion" by the private broadcaster "RTL" and by the magazine "Sport-Bild" as "Most Popular Sports Presenter", which he was also considered the following year. He received the "Best Commentator" award for his work during the 1998 World Cup in France. In mid-June 2003 it became known that ZDF had granted the moderator a contract extension so that Kerner could continue his evening talk and his commitments to other ZDF programs. In 2003, Kerner received the "Golden Camera" in the "Best Talk Show Host" category and the "Golden Feather". In a survey by the program magazine "TV Total" in October 2004, Kerner took first place among the most popular talk presenters on German television.

The readers of the magazine "TV-Spielfilm" also voted him "Talker of the Year 2004". Also in 2004, Kerner was honored with the "Bambi" for "Infotainment". Together with his colleague Steffen Seibert, Kerner received another "Bambi" in December 2005, this time the audience award for the realization of the program "We want to help", which helped to generate large donations for the victims of the flood disaster in Southeast Asia. In 2008 he was awarded the "Golden Romy".

Johannes B. Kerner is married to the former national hockey player Britta Becker and has two children.
