Does Angela de Jong still have media value now that she has stopped as a TV columnist? Apparently, because the TV season is busy for a week and she has already had two talk shows. “But drop laces? No interest.”
You can wonder if it was a good move by Angela de Jong to say goodbye to her TV column, because now that she writes about this in her daily piece and that she seems to lose relevance. Or do the editors of talk shows see it differently? That of RTL Tonight thought her part of yesterday, About Children’s Treatsat least urgent enough.
New job
And that’s how Angela was last night On the desk of Humberto Tan To talk about drop laces. Only at the beginning of the broadcast, fellow Gül Gül was clearly not yet aware of that.
Humberto announces her: “For the first time here at the table Angela de Jong, with a new job actually. Are you already missing this? This had been an excellent opportunity for you of course.”
Bore-out
That’s right, says Angela. “This whole week? Yes, there had been plenty to write this week, but I am afraid that it would have been more of the same from next week.”
Humberto: “Then it would have been scraping again?”
Angela: “Yes, so I always say: if it hadn’t become a burnout because it just started to break me up for half past two in the morning, it would have become a bit of a bore-out, because I had actually seen and described it all after fifteen years. Twenty times and described it twenty times.”
Rare
Lale responds critically to this. “I understand that it is personally boring for you to write about TV so long, but I think the audience appreciated those columns very much. I saw that you had written about treats today … Yes, I am less interested in that. I just want your columns about TV.”
Humberto warns: “She’s coming to talk about that too!”
Lale: “Yes, but I would rather have her columns on the TV, because I really enjoyed reading and interesting.”
Drop -iron
And indeed: at the end of the show we hear Angela talking about drop laces. “With a lot of love I once put together a fishing rod. Thirty to be precise. With a drop veter and a breadstick. I thought I found a very involved mother. The next morning when we had to go to school, the drop veter was dried out and everything was broken.”
Bore. The TV reviewer Angela would have made minced meat out of this … and rightly so.
