Catherine Keyl is still open to joining the permanent cast of Today Inside, the most successful talk show on television. “But I think Johan Derksen finds that terrible.”
The men of Today Inside are actually constantly looking for prominent women who would like to take a seat at their talk show table, but not everyone is welcome. For example, Wilfred Genee would really like Catherine Keyl to visit, but Johan Derksen thinks she is too old and her Telegraaf columns too meaningless.
“Do you want that?”
Wilfred accepts this boycott from Johan, because he also accepts boycotts from his colleague. For example, Wilfred absolutely does not want Victor Vlam to join the program, but Fidan Ekiz is also not welcome.
What does Catherine herself actually want? Beau van Erven Dorens asks her about it RTL Tonight: “I heard Wilfred Genee say sometime this week that he would like to have you on Today Inside. Do you like that?”
‘Seems odd to me’
Catherine really wants to. “Oh, that seems strange to me, but I think Johan finds that terrible.”
Beau: “Yes, but that also makes it fun, of course.”
Catherine: “I don’t know if he can handle that.”
Studio guest Aran Bade: “Doesn’t Johan like you?”
Catherine: “Well, he likes me.”
Brother and sister
For the time being, Catherine has to make do with Business Class, where Harry Mens regularly invites her. Last week they made the news because of a rather awkward conversation about emancipation.
Catherine: “The basic mistake, of course, is that Harry and I have a kind of brother-sister relationship. We can occasionally be very angry with each other and disagree at all, but there is of course a deeper sense of opportunity underlying it. Then you sometimes go off the rails.”
Extra publicity
Does Harry find it annoying that Business Class is in the news like this? “He has no objection to it. He would like some extra publicity.”
She concludes: “He’s very cute. He called immediately, I think even on Sunday, and said: ‘Yes, are you okay? They shouldn’t bother you too much.’ He is very caring.”
