Youp van ‘t Hek believes that Jack van Gelder belongs in a nursing home instead of a talk show table, he shows in his column in the Varagids. “This is really no longer possible,” he sighs.
Jack van Gelder has been under fire since the way he approached Henri Bontenbal in the talk show of Hélène Hendriks. Far too nuanced, critics thought. And unfortunately it is not all more credible: last weekend he cracked the CDA program, while he did not even read it. “I don’t think about it!”
Youp gets out
A miss from Jack, with which he even lost the support of Johan Derksen. If you come on television, then it is expected that you have been read a bit, the VI-snor believes.
Youp van ‘t Hek thinks that Jack does not belong on the screen at all. “Speaking of Jack: does that man have no friends in the care home who honestly tells him that it really can’t be done anymore?” Varagist.
Same uncles
Youp disturbs that talk shows lean very much on the same opinion makers. “The viewer is nowadays a common animal by age and we all know: he needs firmness. Same snacks, the same drinks, the same uncles and aunts at the same party with the same jokes & opinions.”
“In short: as few strange people as possible. No surprises. Fixed clients and all on the same chair every night. Johan should not sit on that van Gijp, just as Wierd always has his permanent place at News of the day. Not to mention that poor Jack van Gelder.”
