Jack van Gelder was the striking absentee yesterday in the talk show of Hélène Hendriks. Has he put aside after the fuss about his Henri Bontenbal statements? “He scores very old.”
The talk show of Hélène Hendriks is a great success: even last night there were almost a million people in front of the tube to look at her the Oranjezomer. Strikingly enough, Jack van Gelder was absent this time and we suddenly found Raymond Mens opposite the presenter. Has the senior TV star been put aside?
Where is Jack?
Jack was not welcome in the summer talk shows of Hélène’s invaders Johnny de Mol and Thomas van Groningen, but he was at Hélène in recent weeks. Where did he go? “He was missing yesterday at the Oranjezondag and that is striking, because of course he sits there every week opposite Hélène as a regular sidekick,” says Tina Nijkamp.
The TV authority continues in Tina’s TV UPDATE: “Now there was suddenly Raymond Mens. What’s going on there? I got a lot of DMs about it. I think it was not at all referred to in the broadcast that Jack was not there and that still raised questions. I have that question:” Where was Jack van Gelder at the Oranjezondag? ” Just presented to Talpa. ”
This says Talpa
What does Talpa say? “They told me that Jack van Gelder was prevented. I asked another question:” Gosh, that he will be there again next week or is that still unknown? ” For the time being I have no answer to that.
When Jack is sitting at the table, older people watch the program, Tina knows. “Last week it was around 12 percent in the 25-54 year target group and yesterday above 20 percent. That is also higher than usual and that means that Raymond Mens may be the youthful factor.”
‘It is striking’
If it is indeed up to Jack that Hélène scores older, that could mean his exit. “It is striking that it scores much higher in that target group than last week. Jack van Gelder is of course a popular sidekick, I don’t want to take anything off at all, but I find it striking.”
Tina concludes: “It scored well anyway: 917 thousand viewers and that is just a very successful number for that Sunday evening at half past nine.”
