Bizarre: The team of Arjen Lubach has put pressure on opinion diva Angela de Jong to adjust her column. “Yes, big nose! I have my own experience, sorry,” she responds.
Angela de Jong has written a tough column about the fact that the impact of Arjen Lubach has taken off since he switched to RTL 4. He himself contradicted that last weekend at Sven Kockelmann. According to him, his show is still a very great success. But why nobody talks about him anymore?
“What does that give?”
Both Arjen and Sven did not mention Angela’s name, but did discuss her criticism. “It is also strange that two people mean one person and that you don’t just say who that piece comes from? What does that matter? What does that matter? They both know that it is Angela de Jong. Then say. What does that give?”, Colleague Dennis Jansen responds.
Angela then says in the AD Media Podcast: “I did not recognize what was said, because I did not in fact say that no video was being shared anymore. I only asked the reader if they had also received a video because they thought it was such a fantastic good joke. I don’t know that.”
Deafening
Arjens purchased relevance is just a fact, she says. “I also notice it by myself and you also saw it in the structure to the cabinet trap. It is about everywhere: it is about Eva Jinek who returns, about Johan Derksen who comes back, it was even about the glasses of Johnny de Mol. But the most important satirist of the country? It was deafening about that.”
Mediajournalist Marcus den Blanken: “Normally I was the one who occasionally bombarded Angela with: did you see this at Lubach, did you see this? I still watch each episode every episode, but sometimes I also have no idea what I am looking at. They had an item about Andrew Tate. It was a very long story.”
Impact
A long story, but without a clou, says Marcus. “I think: well, now it comes, now the story comes: what is the solution for those young men who are not being heard? No,” we’re watching it. “And that’s so often with items. They no longer surprise. The jokes in the beginning are fun, but there is no double layer in extra bottom.”
He continues: “For me, Lubach has indeed lost his impact. They can now indeed say in an interview with Sven Kockelmann:” This is not the case. ” No, just take this seriously!
Easy -going
Arjen is especially busy cashing, Angela thinks. “I think the program has become a piece of gewigiging since that move. You also notice: a satirist at RTL 4 – you can agree with me or not – is just less serious than at the NPO. I am really very curious if he is really a factor in the elections.”
“I don’t see anything back from him. Yes, I am sorry if he doesn’t find it himself, and I have had a whole mail exchange about it with his producer, who also thought I should adjust my column. Yes, big nose! I have my own experience, sorry.”
‘Really and truly?!’
Dennis is shocked that Arjen has sent his team to Angela. “Really true? How did that go?”
Angela: “Oh, well, I leave that to him for the rest. I got a long epistle that I was wrong, but okay, I read nothing about the fact that I had received videos from people, or that I had heard people about it at the coffee machine.”
What did that team say then? “Well, what Lubach also repeated a bit there. That of course it is still a fantastic, unanimous, ridiculously great success. Let’s just stop there.”
Halfway
Marcus thinks it’s a shame. “It is not necessarily the switch to RTL alone. It is also: the format has been slightly adjusted. He does a stand-up at the beginning for longer, so that he often no longer treats those subjects and that he goes to something that they have worked for longer. Only those things, they don’t have so much impact. It sometimes feels half.”
Angela concludes: “He is no longer a factor.”
