Ten years of calling each other shit and then just saying sorry when there are rumors about a renewed duo: it’s strange, very strange. Gerard Joling explains.
Friend and enemy agree that a new duo with Gordon could be really disastrous for Gerard Joling. The latter is now an A-star at RTL 4, with an associated multi-million contract, but Gordon has once again left after a fight and is contractually homeless. There is a risk that he will drag Geer into misery.
Character assassination
Yet lately everyone has been talking to each other about a reunion, about a comeback of the legendary Joling & Gordon on the floor. The clips on YouTube are still hilarious, but it’s a… revival Still fun after what has happened around Goor in recent years? Perhaps the joke wins, but you may wonder.
In any case: the rumors were so persistent that TV authority Tina Nijkamp at one point thought that Goor would announce the reunion in early January in the Casa di Beau news year special. Goor will tell his story in detail there RTL Boulevard had the first fragment yesterday. “Character assassination!” he shouts again.
Victimhood
In other words: it seems to be another somewhat aggrieved interview in which Gordon angrily lashes out at everything and everyone, with Evert Santegoeds in the lead. And precisely while that comeback interview is so important for the further course of his career. Who wants to constantly watch someone wallow in their own victimhood?
No, Gordon will not announce there that there will be a reunion with Gerard. Gerard recently shouted on the radio how addicted Goor always was during their recordings and that the crew also suffered a lot there. Because Geer created a Matthijs van Nieuwkerk-like image, it was quite painful for Gordon. Did he threaten a lawsuit à la Rachel?
Tap fingers
Anyway: Gerard apologized and many people thought that was so silly, because they had been calling each other rotten fish for years. Then that comeback of Joling & Gordon about the Vloer – there are whispers about RTL’s Videoland – will be true after all, it sounds. Will Geer have received a slap on the fingers from RTL boss Peter van der Vorst?
Wilfred Genee asks Gerard about it Today Inside: “Well, Geer, let’s get straight to the point. When are you going to announce it? Just throw it out there and we’ll be done with all that nonsense. With Gordon! Just make it known and we’ll get rid of it.”
‘Not true!’
It really seems to be a monkey story. Gerard: “Yes, I also heard you speculating yesterday and such, like: ‘If a bag of money comes, he will do it.’ Guys, I haven’t spoken to Peter van der Vorst, I haven’t spoken to Gordon – listen very carefully – and I haven’t had an interview with De Telegraaf either.”
And those crazy excuses? “What I wrote on my Insta this week… Yes, I should have not said it. I once had such a problem with Ruud de Wild that I shouted things about him. Then I think: Gerard, you shouldn’t do that, but then I’m in the flow and I’m talking and that’s why I said: ‘I shouldn’t have said that.’”
Very busy
But that has nothing to do with a comeback, according to Geer. “Look, I’m a singer, in the spring we do De Toppers, I do 120 performances a year with both my band and my band, I also do Oh Wat Een Jaar and The Masked Singer for RTL 4. I also come up with a new program this year at RTL and that is not with Gordon. So it’s all not true.”
Wilfred: “Isn’t it one hundred percent?”
Gerard: “Not. You hear ‘no’, right? (…) If I’m concerned about time and what is to come, then it is not possible for the time being. But you can never say ‘never’.”
