Hey, that’s strange: Gerard Joling has been lashing out at Gordon for years, but now he’s suddenly in deep shame for such a sneer. What’s behind that? “This says a lot.”
The rumor continues that Gerard Joling and Gordon will make a comeback as a duo, despite numerous warnings from critics not to do so. They think it is very damaging to Gerard’s TV career, because Gordon still has a major image problem. In any case, the road is clear after Gordon’s Talpa exit.
Heavy accusation
Gerard is asked a lot about those rumors, including last week on Radio 538. “You mustn’t forget that he was really addicted during those programs,” he said there about Gordon. “He is incredibly volatile in his character. Not only to me, but also often to the people we work with. Cameramen, lighting, sound.”
And that of course sounds like Matthijs van Nieuwkerk-like misconduct. An accusation that could be fatal for your TV career in 2023. And that is why Gerard now seems to have backtracked. He finished yesterday Instagrampage suddenly went very deeply into the dust, in a separate statement dedicated to Gordon.
Statement from Geer
What exactly does Geer say? “I would like to respond to the interviews I did last week, where I was once again asked whether there will be a new season of ‘Geer en Goor’. In response to this, I expressed myself a little too strongly about Gordon, which was not nice of me.”
He continues: “I personally find it very annoying that the same question is asked during (almost) every interview. Gordon and I have always been able to create wonderful programs and perhaps we will do this again in the future. In order to start Christmas with beautiful Christmas thoughts, I would like to report this.”
One and one is three
This says enough, says Private Boss Evert Santegoeds Show news. “For me, one and one is three in this case and of course we are working behind the scenes on a return of those two. If Gerard throws out something like that, there’s something going on behind the scenes, which I’m telling you. With the check at the finish line, the decision is quickly made.”
They’re there RTL Boulevard very lyrical about it and that indicates a comeback at RTL, probably at Videoland. “This made me very happy, because it does indeed look like if you read it like this, things are possible,” said Rob Goossens, the TV expert at RTL. “There are possibilities now.”
Conversation with Geer
Wilfred Genee thinks that the boss of RTL, Peter van der Vorst, has called Geer to order. “I have the feeling that Peter van der Vorst had a quick chat with Geer this week,” he says Today Inside.
Johan Derksen: “And that he rattled the money bag for a moment.”
Wilfred: “And that he said: ‘Just tell Gordon that we will open the door again.’”
Johan: “This is not like Gerard to back down so quickly.”
Great title
Johan: “It’s a golden combination, but I don’t know if those two can still work together, because they’ve said the most terrible things about each other, haven’t they?”
Özcan Akyol: “Such a title is fine for Videoland, isn’t it?”
One thing is certain: not only Gerard, but also Peter would take a huge risk with a renewed duoship between Geer and Goor. In 2023, every joke is a potential landmine. And do they sometimes go off track? Then everyone knows where this idea was born: at Peter van der Vorst’s office.
