Albert Verlinde finally admits it: he was more at home at Today Inside than at RTL Tonight. What’s next? Could a possible return to RTL Boulevard be possible?
Now that RTL Tonight is finally being thrown into the trash, the big question for Albert Verlinde is: what will happen to him? At least, to the outside world he still acts as if that is a big question. He is still under contract with RTL, so in theory there is also the possibility that he makes agreements with the channel about an RTL Boulevard comeback.
No Boulevard
However, Albert is now making up for it The Telegraph It is clear that a return to his TV child is not an option. “No, not permanently, that time has passed. But during major events, such as the death of Rob de Nijs last year, they can call.”
He does not want to say anything about the conversation he recently had with his new boss Peter Lubbers. And also not whether he will return to Today Inside with hanging legs. “We are in the final phase of the talks, so I cannot say anything about that. But no one has to worry.”
‘Doesn’t stick’
The RTL Tonight flop won’t stick with him, Albert thinks. “No, we did it for a year. There were also great conversations at that desk. I think that when people now think of Albert, they think of RTL Boulevard and VI. This program is not part of that.”
Finally: what does he think of the recent argument between his colleagues Beau van Erven Dorens, Humberto Tan and Renze Klamer? “Where three fight, three are to blame.”
Three debts
Beau and Humberto are angry that Renze is taking their spot. “It was not very appropriate for Renze to post that post that he is returning with a table instead of a desk. And you could have expected more professionalism from Beau and Humberto not to say anything about it.”
Does he have a good relationship with all three? “I have good contact with all three.”
