Matthijs van Nieuwkerk is one of the two candidates that Johan Derksen mentions as a possible replacement for René van der Gijp on VI-Wensdag. “We have discussed his management about that.”
The large Gijp replacement circus is still running at full speed. Since the boarding of Albert Verlinde as a fixed Wednesday-Gijp, the names tumbles over each other. Johan Derksen is also fully involved: he first mentioned Wierd Duk and Victor Vlam, but returns to that. He now introduces Wierd Duk or Matthijs van Nieuwkerk.
‘Gordon unsuitable’
What does Tina Nijkamp think of that entire circus? “Gordon has offered himself, but I think he actually has too little general development, because it is also important that you follow politics and so on,” she sniffs in an item of RTL Boulevard.
She continues: “I think Victor Vlam is missing the perspective that you need at that position of René. I am a fan of Raymond Mens. I think Wierd Duk is also very suitable, especially because it is on a football day, Wednesday, and Wierd always scores.”
Good choice
She is also enthusiastic about Matthijs. “Matthijs would be a very good choice and also a very safe choice for Matthijs himself, because he is of course a guest in a very well -viewed talk show.”
Tina thinks this is an option for him. “In terms of viewing figures, it can’t go wrong anyway and for him it might also be a cautious landing after a turbulent period.”
What does manager say?
What does Matthijs’s manager say? “His management announced today that he does not want to respond to it,” said Rob Goossens. “We have been in Dubio for a moment, because we were desired a nice summer. Then you actually say that you want to hear us again when the leaves fall from the trees.”
Colleague Daphne Bunskoek: “A good New Year already, hahaha.”
Dildo
Luuk Iink thinks Matthijs a warm bath is waiting. Daphne then laughing: “Yes, until you sit on your head with a dildo on day two. You can happen to everything, right?”
Rob thinks it will be difficult. “Matthijs all has left-wing vpro and VARA friends. What will Youp van ‘t Hek say when Matthijs van Nieuwkerk sits there every Wednesday?”
