Marieke Elsinga, known for the megaflop Alles is Muziek, was in the office of John de Mol yesterday afternoon. What was it about? “Yes, of course I can’t say that yet.”
It seems that Marieke Elsinga has not yet been written off as a studio entertainment presenter after her megaflop Alles is Muziek. TV billionaire John de Mol, who loves studio shows, likes Marieke. They had a meeting yesterday, she reveals this morning in her radio show on Qmusic.
Appointment with John
When Marieke is asked about the last photo in her film roll, she says: “That is with my manager and a colleague in front of Talpa.”
Co-host Mattie Valk surprised: “Oh, what is this? In front of Talpa?”
Marieke: “Yes, I had an appointment with John de Mol yesterday.”
Mattie: “What is this?”
Marieke: “No joke. Yesterday afternoon. It’s one hundred percent true, it’s one hundred percent true.”
With John himself
With John himself? “Yes.”
Mattie: “And why do I have to find out like this?”
Marieke: “No, it’s not because I’m going to Talpa.”
Mattie: “I just wanted to say: that is not our employer. We do not work at Talpa.”
Marieke: “No, John also makes television programs, right?”
About what?
It makes Mattie curious. “What was it about?”
Marieke: “Yes, I can’t say that of course, can I?”
Matthew: “Why not?”
Marieke: “Yes, that’s how it works in television land, isn’t it? Yes sorry…”
Mattie: “I always find that sentence ‘I can’t say anything about that’ so difficult.”
Marieke: “Isn’t that just the way it is?”
Confidential
Matthew: “I don’t know. I do not know how confidential it is.”
Sidekick Tom de Graaf: “He saw Everything is Music and thought: I must have that!”
Marieke: “Hahaha. Well. I come in and he says: ‘Marieke, we can both use a bit of success, can’t we?’ I thought that was a nice opening line.”
Will we hear more about this? “Yes, but not now.”
Marieke and John who team up after a series of flops. That will be fighting for a place in the viewing figure top 25…
