Art Rooijakkers has to go under the knife again because of complications to his vocal cords. He will not be able to talk in the coming months. Will he just sit on the couch?
It will be a lot of swallowing for SBS 6: they have brought Art Rooijakkers just for a lot of money, but after presenting news of the day for a few weeks, he has been going on sick leave for months. He has to go under the knife again because of an inflammation at his vocal cords and therefore he is not allowed to say a word in the coming months.
No more prate
Can Art just sit on the couch? No, says Victor Vlam. “My advice for art would be: go to work as an editor behind the scenes. You can’t talk anymore, you have to be quiet. Well, then you can no longer present, that is impossible, but of course you can do a lot of editorial work. ”
The medianer continues in the podcast The Communicado’s: “You can simply write texts for the presenter, come up with questions for the guests, come up with inserting for a topic. All those things are still possible and I think as an extra advantage that the good PR gives, because it is often attacked at VI. ”
Colorless figure
As a result, Art could win the sympathy of the important opinion makers today Inside, says Victor. “Let it fall at VI that he just works behind the scenes as an editor and I honestly think that he will receive a compliment from Johan, from: ‘He is a colorless figure, but a hard worker and I appreciate that. “”
Co-host Lars Duursma, known as a communication expert, would find it very bad. “I think this would be very bad. That the big star Art Rooijakkers will do the work of an intern of 23 with its great salary? That he is going to write a text? He shouldn’t do that, can he? “
‘Too good for’
Art should not feel too good for that, says Victor. “You think he is too good for that? If you are in that position you would think: I’m too good for that, I’m not going to do that? “
Lars: “I think that is not automatically good for his appearance, if he will do the work of an editor for three months.”
Victor: “Why can’t you just contribute to the program? I don’t think you should feel too good for that. He can no longer present, but he is just being paid, isn’t it? ”
Lucrative contract
Art really gets a lot of money. “He has a very lucrative SBS 6 contract and I honestly think that many people would do a murder that they get paid while they are sick. A lot of freelancers don’t get that. You can also think: I’m just going to work and make sure that I really earn that salary. “
“He gets a nice and then you can also give something back. It is a luxury to sit at home then, I would say. “
