Gordon will no longer be in action for SBS 6 in the last six months of his TV contract. And colleague Ronald Molendijk thinks that’s totally fine: “Jesus man, please stop, just shut up.”
It’s a good thing Gordon wore such big glasses in the finale of Wat Een Invention yesterday. This gave him one last good look at what a television studio looks like inside, because he won’t be able to do that for a while. What Tina Nijkamp already predicted has now been confirmed by SBS 6: he will no longer be in action during the last six months of his contract.
Gordon no longer in action
Gordon says he has been put on the penalty bench by John de Mol because he has been critical of him. The TV star previously called out that he would fly the flag when his contract expires on December 1. But that flag was already out when he recorded the final of Wat Een Invention last month, although he didn’t look very good in front of the RTL Boulevard camera. happy out.
The news that Gordon will be allowed to serve out the last six months of his contract was confirmed last night in Show news. Presenter Manuel Venderbos: “The final of Wat Een Invention has just ended and after five years Gordon’s TV career at SBS comes to an end.”
Biggest flop
TV connoisseur Tina Nijkamp, also former channel boss of SBS 6, was allowed to look back on five years of Gordon at the channel. “Gordon’s career as a presenter is actually a very bumpy one. Often there are programs that do not score and why is that? That’s actually because Gordon does new programs very often.”
Gordon’s biggest flops? “I think that’s all those quizzes he had to do and all those talent shows where he had to sit on the jury. I can’t remember all those names, but there have been quite a few. DanceSing and all those kinds of programs that we no longer know existed because they were on the air for such a short time.”
Will we see him again somewhere? “Maybe with a streaming service, that could still be done of course.”
Annoying man
Entertainment expert Bart Ettekoven then notes at the desk that he does not rule out a TV comeback from Gordon, because he has “an incredible talent”. Máár: “Obviously he is also a very difficult man. He is a very annoying man at times.”
He continues: “That means that I am not sure whether other broadcasters are eager to bring him back in, because you know: you bring in a great entertainer, but you also bring in a lot of misery. Sooner or later there will be a mess.”
‘Get out!’
Colleague Ronald Molendijk, the best friend of former Talpa bobo Erland Galjaard, does not watch Gordon’s programs. “I can’t judge whether it’s good or bad, because I’d rather not watch it. Isn’t it just the case that the Dutch public is just done with behavior outside of television?”
He continues: “What you really have with Lil Kleine, a lot of people have with Gordon: that bullshit and that unbelievable waste of your bosses, which he has now done to the channel we work for. I think people just think, Jesus man, please stop, just fuck off.”
