Johan Derksen (76) has of course reached an age on which nothing is more self -evident, but people are very shocked by his current absence at VI. “There is something very bad.”
Today’s men inside are incredibly dutiful. Johan Derksen can still have surgery in the hospital in the morning, in the evening he is just back on his talk show table. And Wilfred Genee? Fifteen minutes before the broadcast, he can still see how his home burns down and then just drive to Hilversum again.
Private circumstances
René van der Gijp almost sacrificed his marriage for the success of VI: his Minouche did not find him at home on broadcasting days. Eventually he reduced a day, because on Wednesdays Albert Verlinde is now in place. But Albert was suddenly there yesterday, on Tuesday evening, but then at the place of Johan.
What does the case want? Johan Kon last minute Don’t come, says Wilfred. “It is not just another broadcast. It is something else. Unfortunately, Johan Derksen is not there tonight because of private problems, but look here: Albert Verlinde. Good that you are there. I said problems, but you always have to say circumstances. Private circumstances.”
Without mustard
In the end it became a mustache-free broadcast and you will immediately notice that in the program, says VI-connoisseur Victor Vlam. “Today Inside without Johan Derksen is like a croquette without a mustard. You miss the spicy edge. Strength Johan!” X.
Whether Johan will be present again tonight is unclear. “Albert, I assume that you’ll be back tomorrow,” Wilfred notes at one point.
Albert: “Yes, tomorrow I will be back. Then I am ehh …”
Day off
Wilfred then addresses René. “You are a day off, right?”
René: “Provided Johan comes again. No idea. I see it.”
Wilfred: “Yes, we don’t know that yet. But you succeed, three days, dude?”
René: “Of course, no problem.”
So it is not yet certain whether Johan is able to return after one day of absence.
Something very bad
It provides an incredible amount of speculation. “The question remains: what’s going on?” Says Henk on X. “What’s going on? Because they don’t say anything about it, people are going to speculate fully … of that he hit that wolf into the most terrible things …”
One Elroy thinks that Johan’s dog died, but Duif says: “I don’t think Johan Derksen would say off because of a deceased dog. (…) Although he had an operation the same day, he is there in the evening. So I can’t imagine that he would let a dog go absent due to the death of a dog.”
“I am afraid that unfortunately there is something more serious going on.”
