Johnny de Mol was continuously taken through the mud as the host of the Oranjezomer. His performances were always dismissed by critics as uninspired, uncomfortable and, above all, unaware. Opinion maker Jack van Gelder, who was not welcome when Johnny presented, took hard to him yesterday in an interview with De Telegraaf.

With the saw

Jack only held it at that interview, because last night, during the comeback of Hélène Hendriks in the Oranjezomer, he again went wild on Johnny. “What did you think? I will come in with that saw immediately?”, Says the presenter.

Jack on that: “No, not with that saw at all. I was called by Jordi (Versteegden, ed.) And I think that is an extremely pleasant journalist who expresses what you say and what I have said, I am one hundred percent behind it. Logical, because I have said it and I have been able to control it. He notes everything as it is.”

Nice guy

The most important criticism that Jack has made? “The head was about Johnny. I said that I don’t think it’s a good talk show host. I think it’s a great guy and a very nice guy, I think he is doing other programs very much, but presenting a talk show requires different capacities.”

Hélène: “Yes, but still: I’m going to take it up for him, firstly because he has taken over. The same applies to Thomas. I am very grateful to him for that. HLF8, very well done. There was quite a lot of pressure on it.”

A lot of pressure

Jack thinks Johnny collapsed under the pressure. “Yes, you noticed that a bit about him.”

Hélène: “Yes, but in the end it went well?”

Jack: “I didn’t think it was. A talk show host that reads almost everything from paper, I don’t like that and I think you just have enough backing to be able to talk about all kinds of topics or at least be able to indicate the right things.”

Noa grumpy

It is precisely then that the very serious, somewhat grumpy face of Noa Vahle comes into the picture. Linda de Mol’s daughter clearly does not like how her cousin Johnny is talking, but does not intervene for fear of us-know-users.

Table guest Job Knoester: “I thought: the first week was a difficult week, but after that I think he put down a very nice atmosphere. That is important for a talk show.”

Jack: “Yes, atmosphere, but okay. I called that …”
