Dyantha Brooks has the feeling that Johnny de Mol will soon be sitting at the table as a kind of target as presenter of De Oranjezomer. “It seems quite difficult to just start doing it again.”
Against all expectations, Johnny de Mol will again present De Oranjezomer for a while this year. Last year he had to substitute for a long period due to Hélène Hendriks’ back operation, this year it will only be for two weeks. And that may be a good thing, because during his first appearance he received an incredible amount of criticism from viewers and critics.
Shooting target
Show news presenter Dyantha Brooks thinks it’s brave that Johnny is just going to do it again. “It seems quite difficult to me to just start doing it again if you have had a lot of criticism, to then recharge yourself and sit there like a kind of target,” said the presenter. in the show section.
Studio guest Johnny de Mol then, referring to the years in which he was accused of attempted manslaughter: “I just told you what happened in the past seven years, then people who write some columns don’t mean much. Hahaha.”
What does daddy say?
Show expert Jordi Versteegden asks to what extent his father John de Mol is involved. “Did your father just ask you? Like: ‘Johnny, just sit down, do you want to do it again?’ Have you also evaluated each other a lot about how things went last time?”
Johnny: “No, of course there are other people for that. Of course it happens sometimes, but that is what other people are for. I keep saying it: we were the most watched talk show at that time last year.”
Wrestling
Jordi is critical. “But I still saw you struggle as a presenter every now and then. That I felt: maybe I don’t have a handle on the matter we are talking about. A lot happened during that period. Is the happiest version of Johnny sitting in the chair of a talk show host? Is that what you prefer to do?”
Johnny: “That’s a very good question. I think so. I’m going into this again with fresh courage. I had to fill in earlier at the time and had to explain what an atomic bomb was on one of the first evenings. I was told: ‘Orange summer, a bit of football and entertainment!’ But what you say is correct. The subject matter was quite intense.”
Coached
Is he still being coached? “You are absolutely coached, but how you participate in the match is of course important,” says Johnny.
Is Jeroen Pauw his coach? “During HLF8, yes. That line runs forever, but not anymore. There are other people for that. Fortunately, I am well guided, but it depends on how you feel about the match.”
