Hélène Hendriks and Jan de Hoop lose their confidence in Peter van der Vorst as television boss of RTL. They find it unprecedented that his mismanagement has now led to the departure of Renze Klamer.
Peter van der Vorst’s rigidity is now really starting to cause damage at RTL. He single-handedly ruined the late evening of flagship RTL 4 and refuses to kill the failed RTL Tonight. Who is completely fed up? The most important and by far the best presenter of the whole: 36-year-old Renze Klamer.
Jan de Hoop critical
Renze had to hand in his successful talk show for this TV monstrosity and is fed up. The presenter has decided to step down as the main face of RTL Tonight. In other words: Peter thinks his failed TV baby RTL Tonight is more important than the greatest talent that RTL has in house. What a miscalculation.
Jan de Hoop, newsreader at RTL Nieuws for many years, thinks it is a mega blunder on Peter’s part. He writes down X: “How is it possible that this is the result of RTL’s inflexibility in admitting that RTL Tonight has failed? Flogging a dead horse. And what a shame for Renze.”
Slow growth
Peter says he will stick with RTL Tonight, at the expense of Renze, because he sees ‘slow growth’. “Is he looking at other figures or something?” Wilfred Genee sneers Today Inside.
Colleague Johan Derksen: “That is encouraging himself, because he will gradually realize that the management of his store also questions the fact that he actually only broadcasts failed programs.”
Hélène surprised
Table guest Hélène Hendriks is really surprised. “Does Peter really think it can continue to grow? I think so, because otherwise you wouldn’t continue with it.”
Johan: “The best presenter has thrown in the towel, so that leaves Beau and Humberto? Leonie can bring some new life into the brewery. I don’t think she’s that bad, even though everything she does fails.”
Advice from René
What is René van der Gijp’s advice? He says: “It’s a good choice from Renze, but what they have to do is: they just have to change it. Then you’ve tried something different and that’s not a bad thing, is it? You don’t have to look at anyone for that, right? Everyone can try something once, right?”
Johan: “Peter van der Vorst sees that as a personal insult.”
René: “Yes, but why? You start something new and after three or four months you think: that wasn’t it. Too bad!”
Johan: “Ego! Ego!”
Five days
René thinks that Peter should just swallow that shame. “They talk about it for five days and then Marco Borsato comes again. Then it’s about something else.”
Hélène: “You have to get over it a bit, I think. Exactly what you say.”
Wilfred: “Just set up a table and bring Renze back.”
Johan: “Look, Renze is head and shoulders above the other two, also in terms of goodwill. He radiates enthusiasm, because for Beau it is a mandatory number and Humberto only thinks he is good. That is of no use to you.”
Conspiracy theory
Then Johan shares his conspiracy theory. “Renze is the man and he may now take a step back and, in consultation with Peter, wait until the end of January when he will have the show all to himself again.”
Patty Brard also takes this into account. She agrees Show news: “I don’t believe it. Humberto and Beau remain and they also do other things for RTL. If that Tonight blows, yes, then they have other work, but Renze only has that talk show, so I think they will take him out before that blow and then just give a talk show again.”
