Will Beau van Erven Dorens and Humberto Tan agree to be demoted to regular substitutes for Renze Klamer? TV critics think it’s impossible: “That’s just not possible anymore, right!”
The TV careers of Beau van Erven Dorens and Humberto Tan are taking an incredible hit now that RTL Tonight is being taken off the air. What is left for them now that Renze Klamer has run off with the loot? He can become the big star on RTL 4 in the late evening with a talk show that bears his own name. A bit like what it used to be, but more often.
Table back
Renze will really become the figurehead of the late evening, but he also has to go on holiday at some point. And who will replace him? Will Beau and Humberto be demoted to his regular substitutes, especially knowing that they are very upset about the way he announced his comeback?
Opinion diva Angela de Jong in the AD Media Podcast: “You can’t move a table back and just continue with Beau, Humberto and Renze, can you? That’s not possible, is it? Then nothing will change at all. There has to be a visible kink somewhere, but the question is whether this is enough of a kink.”
On holiday
Podcast host Manuel Venderbos wonders how RTL 4 will solve this. “If Renze has been busy for a few months, then he should also take a holiday or something, right?”
Media journalist Dennis Jansen: “Yes, but then Leonie (ter Braak, ed.).”
Manuel: “Then Leonie will come?”
‘Can’t do it anymore!’
Marcus den Blanken, editor at AD Show, thinks that Beau and Humberto will refuse in any case. “Beau and Humberto hate that Renze is destroying their talk show career and then you can’t say: if he is on holiday for a while, they will replace him. That is simply not possible anymore, is it?”
Dennis: “I wouldn’t feel like doing that if I were Beau or Humberto or maybe Leonie.”
Marcus: “She arrived late and that might be a bit milder.”
‘Better without!’
All in all, according to Marcus, it is better that Beau and Humberto are out. “Humberto and Beau can’t last much longer. They are also starting to get older. And Renze is the future.”
Dennis concludes: “It’s funny that all the balls go to Renze. I think everyone wanted to fully focus on Renze, but Peter van der Vorst was somehow not in favor of that. He wanted to take the names off the facades and set up a changing presentation team. That polder model is a large part of the reason that it was not successful…”
