Humberto Tan is completely sawed off at the ankles by Gijs Groenteman and Marcel van Roosmalen. The NPO presenters do not think the RTL 4-star is suitable to be a guest in Zomergasten.
It is laughable that Zomergasten has chosen to invite Humberto Tan for the coming season, according to Gijs Groenteman and Marcel van Roosmalen. They completely crack down on the presenter in their podcast today Another Day† “That’s the bankruptcy [van Zomergasten]?” Marcel raises.
rip off Humberto
Zomergasten has sometimes sunk even lower, Gijs believes. “Well, Henkjan Smits has already been a Summer guest.”
Marcel: “But I still consider that cult.”
Gijs: “Yes, that’s still cult and we thought for a while that it was some kind of important record producer or something, but Humberto Tan…”
Marcel: “Yes, that is of course a ‘creative glutton’, says the press release. Culture comes to the table, you put the subject on the table and bite-bite, away topic.”
When Marcel remarks that Humberto really can do something, Gijs says: “Yes? Oh, I never noticed that.”
cheerful ignorance
Marcel remembers that he was once in De Wereld Draait Door when Humberto was the table master there. Humberto would then have ‘completely destroyed’ the item.
Gijs: “Did he really destroy it with that intention or was it just the way I’ve seen him destroying items for as long as I can remember? Just a kind of happy ignorance. Was it Humberto’s will or was it just the way Humberto is?”
very clumsy
Marcel: “I just don’t click with the man. I can sit across from him with any subject and I think nothing will come of it. I think he’s one of the people that makes me stop and accept defeat, that I think: this won’t work.”
Gijs: “I also hear him on Radio 1 on Friday and then I think: how funny that you have been doing this work for so long and still keep something so clumsy.
‘Anything better than Humberto’
One thing is certain: Summer guests should not stoop to Humberto, Gijs thinks. “Really everything better than Humberto Tan as Summer Guest. Fair is fair. Then we get another TikTok video or do I know a lot or the best bits from The Perfect Picture.”
Gijs thinks it’s all a shame and already fears for Humberto’s Instagram posts. “He’s always very busy hanging on to climbing frames and then crawling over it and stuff and showing his body with that cap on. I think it will go completely wild for Zomergasten, that he can start those three hours very fit.”
