Viggo Waas really has nothing to do with Tina Nijkamp. In fact, the comedian is disgusted with the former channel boss of SBS 6. “No, man, I don’t know him. Isn’t that terrible?”
Tina Nijkamp is the woman where many people get their daily viewing figures from these days. She has become an important opinion maker in Hilversum and that is something that comedian Viggo Waas finds disappointing. He finds the TV professor from Bathmen ‘terrible’ and ‘nothing at all’, he says in the program The Friday Move.
‘Who is that?’
Presenter Wilfred Genee brings up Tina at one point. “I read from Tina Nijkamp – who is of course becoming a bit of an oracle next to Angela de Jong – that you are working on all kinds of programs. At least, that’s what she suspected.”
Studio guest Roxane Knetemann responds: “Yes, I don’t know where she gets that from either. No, none of that is true.”
Viggo Waas breaks in: “Who is that?”
‘Terrible!’
Wilfred does not fully understand that question. He repeats: “Tina Nijkamp.”
Viggo pretends he doesn’t know her: “Tina Nijkamp?”
Wilfred: “Don’t you know Tina Nijkamp?”
Viggo has already made a judgment about her: “No, man, I don’t know him, do I? Isn’t that terrible?”
Wilfred: “Do you think that’s terrible, Tina?”
Viggo: “Tina Nijkamp, yes, that doesn’t seem right to me at all. Already.”
‘I don’t like that’
Wilfred: “You don’t know her, but you already don’t like her?”
Viggo: “No.”
Wilfred: “Oh, well, Tina Nijkamp is a bit of a ratings oracle.”
Viggo: “Well, I don’t like that.”
Wilfred: “Well, for example, he shouted that Theo Maassen’s program was canceled and it was canceled immediately.”
Viggo: “Yes, that says enough, right?”
‘She is right’
Wilfred does not understand his attitude. “Yes, but very often she is right. She does have lyrics. I like that people have lyrics. Do you think that is important too, Viggo, or not?”
Viggo: “I think people often have too much text. Too many opinions, too many texts, while they don’t know much about it and still say things. Some are in your program. In general: people on TV often say things they don’t understand. I think.”
