The Today Inside stars are fired at Rick Evers because he reacted so angrily to a joke by Wilfred Genee in the fall. “He went to you right during the break!” Gijp shouts.
Royalty journalist Rick Evers was sitting at the bar of Today Inside in mid-September, but was ridiculed a bit by Wilfred Genee. The presenter pretended that he did not remember Rick’s name, but Rick still indicated that he would remain loyal to VI and would not go to RTL Tonight. Job Knoester surprised: “He didn’t even know your name!”
Rick angry
Shortly after the broadcast it became clear that Rick was really pissed off behind the scenes about Wilfred’s joke. In fact, he did not stick around for the chat section In De Wandelgangs as agreed, but ran straight to the parking garage. “Rick didn’t like that, but that’s a joke, right?” Wilfred said in surprise.
The love seems to be over for good, because this week Rick suddenly appears as a royalty reporter in RTL Tonight. And that was discussed last night in Today Inside. “Hey, I’m a bit bummed about it. That Ricky Evers has made the switch, I have the impression, right? I saw him yesterday on RTL Tonight,” says Wilfred cynically.
Ricky Evers
Wilfred continues to tease Rick. “What did you think of Ricky? I made that joke that I had forgotten his name, you know.”
Colleague René van der Gijp then: “Ricky didn’t have too much self-mockery, great friend. You pretended you had forgotten his name, but then he came and said to you during the break: ‘Hey, I’m not like that… My mother called right away.'”
Wilfred: “Yes, his mother was angry.”
“Come on, hey!”
René thinks that is really weak. “Yeah, come on, hey, please boy.”
Wilfred: “Even his brother Edwin had called right away, he said. He didn’t like it either.”
René: “His deaf niece had heard it too.”
Wilfred: “Everyone called! They were all angry!”
René: “Come on, please man!”
To Suriname
Wilfred continues to make fun of Rick. “Ricky Evers has now apparently made the switch, because he is still angry. He flew all the way to Suriname. He stood there and then it went like this.”
He shows a fragment from RTL Tonight, in which Rick remains silent for seconds because he thinks a video is being started, but that doesn’t happen.
‘Much more painful!’
René gets vicarious shame from it. “This is much more painful. Of course they said, ‘Talk to something,’ and then they pretend they don’t have it.”
Johan Derksen is surprised: “Then there is no communication there!”
Finally, Wilfred: “The joke here wasn’t too bad, but he really looks like a fool!”
