Art Rooijakkers was in Hélène Hendriks’ talk show last night with obvious discomfort, says TV authority Tina Nijkamp. “Art and SBS just aren’t one match made in heaven.”
The transfer from Art Rooijakkers to Talpa was a complete failure. The presenter intended to commit himself to the right-wing TV news News of the Day for years, but it all became a bit too right-wing for him. What will he do now? He starts on Sunday at the location of De Oranjezondag with a new program that resembles De Verraders.
A bit awkward
To promote that, we saw Art last night in the talk show by Hélène Hendriks. Tina Nijkamp says: “Art Rooijakkers sat on the couch — not at the table but on the couch — to talk about his new program and he was reunited with Thomas van Groningen, who was sitting at the table. That was a bit strange at the beginning. awkward.”
She continues in her podcast Tina’s TV Update: “Art looked like he wasn’t completely at ease anyway. You just see, you feel – yes, I don’t know if it’s true and Art really does his best to make the best of it – that SBS is not a channel he likes to watch, let me just summarize.”
First signs
Art and SBS do not fit together, according to Tina. “I don’t think it is a channel that he sets up at home and you can tell that in everything. By the way, I do think that his program could become a hit if you watch the promo. There is a lot of emotion going on and it looks good, but we still have to wait and see the storylines.”
She continues: “The first signs seem good to me, so I think it could be quite a success for Art. He is waiting for it, because he has had a lot of misery since his switch to SBS. Not only with his health and that voting operation, but also with News of the Day, where he felt completely out of place.”
Made in heaven
You could actually plan that out in advance, says Tina. “Everyone knew in advance: Art and SBS are simply not a match made in heaven. If you looked at him on that couch at De Oranjezondag, you had that same feeling again.”
She adds on her analysis channel: “The sad thing about Art is that he has little sense of humor.”
