Humberto Tan does not score as presenter of RTL Tonight, but also not with his new primetime show Fortunately We Have De Photos Still. “He’s not as popular as they think.”
Things are going terribly badly with Fortunately We Have The Photos Still, the new program from the always troubled Humberto Tan. The presenter gave RTL 4 ‘a very tough evening’ on Monday evening, as only 279 thousand people watched the show, good for a market share of 7 percent.
‘Exactly the problem’
According to TV authority Tina Nijkamp, such a score is ‘far too little’ for a major channel like RTL 4. “Truly a nightmare scenario for Humberto,” she calls it in her podcast Tina’s TV Update. “It didn’t get off to a good start, but now it scores really low and especially on the evening that RTL 4 always scores so well with that living.”
“They have now let go of that and now there is a photo/travel/Casa di Beau-like program. It is a mix of everything, everything has been put into a blender, and I think that is exactly the problem with this program.”
‘Not that popular’
Private boss Evert Santegoeds thinks it is mainly due to the presenter. “It’s dramatic. Well, it’s not going well. They may hold on to those types of people too much. I’ve already told Humberto why I’m not such a fan of that. That’s completely mutual, so I can speak out calmly.”
He continues in the podcast Strictly Private: “That of course has to do with a love affair from a very long time ago. Not with me, but with Dionne Stax, and I don’t think he has ever forgiven me for that. Anyway. He is not nearly as popular as they think at RTL and he himself also thinks.”
From the tube
Wilfred Genee brings up Humberto’s low viewing figures while rubbing his hands Today Inside. “Well, I saw that Humberto still had 239 thousand viewers.”
Johan Derksen: “Well, that’s good for Humberto. That means you’ll be taken off the channel.”
Wilfred: “Now he was sitting opposite the football.”
Johan: “Yes, we do too! I’ve seen some flashes of it, but I never look at Humberto, because I think he’s so fake. When he laughs, when he cries, when he looks angry, it’s all fake.”
Wilfred concludes: “It was his dream program, I read, but when you see this…”
