Jack van Gelder thinks it is a shame that he is not welcome at the table at the Oranjezomer now that Johnny de Mol is observing the honors of Hélène Hendriks. “I have nothing against him.”
It is a disappointment: Johnny de Mol will probably be shown throughout the summer as the presenter of the Oranjezondag, because the operation of Hélène Hendriks has disappeared and she is probably glued to her wheelchair for months. But why does Papa John de Mol actually think that Johnny is so comfortable with the VI audience?
Unstoppable
The first results of the already 46-year-old Johnny are disappointing: in the target group he scores 40 percent worse than the men of today Inside. Not so strange, says René van der Gijp, because according to him the VI viewer would rather see Hélène. What lingers with many is the image of ‘the son of the boss’ that is pushed forward.
You would think that Johnny will certainly do everything to the viewer of Hélène peein other words: maintaining her signature and her regular guest circle. But Jack van Gelder, yet the most important face of her talk show, is not there. According to the former sports presenter, he is not welcome when Johnny is at the helm.
What does he mean?
Jack says to Sportnieuws.nl That the SBS 6 viewer does not have to expect him for the time being. “Yes, Hélène has been out for a few weeks. Then I will also be out for a few weeks, because Johnny opts for a different setup. If Helene is there, I will be back.”
Does this mean that Jack does not want as long as Hélène is not there or that Johnny doesn’t want him? When asked if there is no chemistry between the two gentlemen, he will let this site know when asked: “Johnny and his editors apparently have opted for a different guest composition. I have nothing against Johnny at all.”
Shame
TV critics think it is unwise that Jack is not there. “Very unfortunate as far as I’m concerned!”, Victor Vlam, for example, says on X.
Meilandjes biographer Jan Dijkgraaf: “Too bad!”
And TV authority Tina Nijkamp on Instagram: “Why not Jack van Gelder and Rutger van Castricum at the first? Viggo Waas seems fairly unknown to the SBS 6 viewer.”
