René van der Gijp thinks that today’s summer replacement Inside, the Oranjezomer, will score less well with Johnny de Mol as a presenter. “Our fans prefer to see Hélène Hendriks.”
Hélène Hendriks was planned to present the daily talk show of SBS 6 for months after this weekend, but a serious medical problem is in the way. She ended up in a wheelchair, with almost surgery and is out of the running for a long time. That is why Johnny de Mol takes over from hers, at least for the next four weeks.
‘Pretty exciting’
The question is whether the VI viewer is waiting for Johnny, thinks René van der Gijp. “I think – and I notice that when I come across people who watch our program – they all also love Hélène, so Hélène just keeps going with a lot of the same viewers, and I think this is exciting.”
He continues in front of the camera of Shownieuws: “Or the same viewers who look at Hélène and at us, or who will also like it or say it after a week:” Not so. “
Very driven
Wilfred Genee thinks Johnny, especially after the flopping of HLF8, will do his best. “He’s going very driven. He actually gets on a moving train, so I think it’s reasonable steady is going to be. “
In any case, it is to be hoped for him, says Johan Derksen, who has no trouble with the 46-year-old presenter. “I like Johnny and I never bother him, so I think he can do it.”
“Becomes difficult”
René is therefore clearly the most skeptical of the three. He concludes: “I think it can be difficult sometimes. I think it can be difficult sometimes. But we’re going to see it.”
If Hélène was recovered on time, she would be seen for a few weeks at the end of June as a presenter of the Oranjezomer. Johnny would already do the last four weeks anyway.
