The lack of Johan Derksen on television is unbelievably great, according to the AD. “The editors are inundated with letters sent in from readers,” the newspaper said. How can John de Mol still put things together?
Johan Derksen decided last Thursday to immediately stop Today Inside, because he had lost the support of John de Mol and his Talpa management. The media billionaire was still fanatically waving the VI contract after the racism, but this time let Johan leave the building unhindered. A pretty painful situation.
Viewers furious
Although Johan’s statements were particularly awkward, many people now seem to agree that the end of Today Inside was not intended. The program served a certain audience that does not like to watch ‘politically correct’ programs such as Jinek and Op1. People like this are now in danger of radicalising, Özcan Akyol even thinks.
According to the AD, flows at the editors countless messages from people who think that Johan should go back on the tube. “The hypocritical rascals have determined that a million viewers daily can no longer watch their favorite program. Nauseous,” says one of them, for example.
John and Johan
Talpa bobo Paul Römer has aroused the anger of the VI stars with his statements, but image expert Zabeth van Veen cannot imagine that John thinks the same about men as Paul. “I think John and Johan are quite on the same page, they are of the old school,” she says in the AD†
Zabeth points out that Johan has always been very loyal to John. “Derksen fully defended John de Mol in the talk show when it was about The Voice, for example. I don’t think De Mol really wants to keep the program off the air.”
potty bobos
Also not unimportant: Today Inside was the best scoring program of SBS 6. “They don’t want to lose that”, thinks Zabeth. But what should Talpa do to correct his mistake and get Johan back on the TV? According to opinion maker Harry Vermeegen, there is only one solution, he says in his opinion channel†
Harry thinks that Johan will not just come back to the table. “That Derksen is just completely fed up with Talpa and I can tell you why. I have also experienced the people who work there in TV land. I know those people! And those are very, very ignorant people and huge laymen who don’t understand television.”
to Grolloo
Johan has had his fill of those TV bobos, Harry thinks. “And not only that, because they also dropped it. Now, at this crucial moment, they have dropped him, and Johan does not get over that easily. How do we get this right again? I think there can only be one way and if that doesn’t happen, Johan Derksen won’t come back.”
What’s that way? “There is only one way: the John. The John van Talpa will have to get into his car and cover the distance between Hilversum and Grolloo. That’s 170 kilometers, a two-hour drive. You go to Grolloo and you go there to talk to Johan Derksen.”
scratch your head
According to Harry, John cannot do otherwise. “Talpa is of course scratching their heads all day long. They have a terrible regret that they just let the face of the transmitter just jump out the door. Of course they think to themselves: how can we straighten this out again?”
What should John say to Johan? “You ring the bell at his front door and you humbly apologize for the misbehavior of the Talpa management and then you calmly discuss with him how the program will come back on TV. That is the only way and for your personal visit, humbly, Johan Derksen will be sensitive.”
