Renze Klamer has an incentive not to fully commit itself to RTL Tonight, because it is more likely that his own talk show will return, says TV critic Victor Vlam.
Everyone already knows that RTL Tonight is going to stop, but according to TV critic Victor Victor Victor Victor, RTL 4 has invested so much money and ego in it that they will stretch it for a while. Maybe until Christmas. “To be honest, I would pull the plaster off, but well, at RTL they think differently,” he says in the podcast Victor explains TV.
Perverse stimulus
The chance that the regular talk shows Beau, Humberto and Renze will return is so great that Victor suspects that the motivation is a bit gone. “I find it interesting that the presenters have a so -called perverse incentive to sabotage the program a bit,” he says.
Why? “I think Renze thinks he is better off with his own talk show, so with his name on the facade. In the past he never seemed very enthusiastic about this RTL Tonight project. It means that if you prefer your own talk show, you would like to have an incentive not to do your best to make RTL Tonight a success.”
With the cap
Renze will show that lack of motivation more invisible than visible, says Victor. “Of course you’re not going to throw it with the cap, because then you get criticism from all kinds of viewers, but it could possibly mean that he will do a little less his best to make it a success.”
He continues: “For example, you can think of: Suppose they are after a potential news guest, then it happens regularly that the presenter himself calls for that person to hand in. You could think that he thinks: I don’t feel like that, I don’t do that.”
Above and Beyond
Victor thinks Renze does not go for the full hundred percent. “If you really like to go for the highest viewing figures, then you go Above and Beyond To do things like that, but if you think: well, I don’t mind if this program is not doing very well, because then my old talk show Renze will come back, then you won’t venture. ”
He concludes: “I think that things like this for Renze, but also for Humberto, play a little role in Humberto. So a perverse incentive.”
