Arjen Lubach can rush into the shopping streets, because his TV hibernation has started and with his lucrative RTL salary he can buy nicer Christmas presents than ever. When will he return?
It’s a lot of fun for Arjen Lubach: he already went on winter break yesterday and has plenty of time in the coming months to enjoy his first RTL million. He ended his season finale with a Christmas song, hoping that there will be a Christmas cabinet. 699 thousand people watched the broadcast, reports Tina Nijkamp.
Arjen very expensive
How long will we not see Arjen on television? Almost three months. “They are now going on winter vacation and he will return on February 2. So he will also be on display during the Olympic Games,” says Tina on her analysis channel.
She continues: “Remarkable, because Lubach is of course a very expensive program. You have to think of about 80 thousand euros for half an hour. That is a lot of course, if you compare it with a talk show.”
Everyone on NPO 1
How much does a talk show like RTL Tonight cost? “That costs about 35 to 40 thousand euros without a host. Including host, I think a talk show like this would cost 70 thousand euros, so Lubach is an expensive program, but it will run during the Olympic Games.”
A remarkable moment of return, Tina concludes. “Those matches are until 10 p.m., so it’s just after, but everyone is always on NPO 1 with those kinds of sporting events.”
