Jandino Asporaat had a very nasty experience with Gordon years ago during TV recordings. “I called John de Mol and said: ‘I’m not going to do this. I’m not going in such workplace to sit.”
It never really succeeded with the TV career of Jandino Asporaat: there is a specific target group that likes him, according to the success of his cinema films, but for the masses it is especially very loud and tiring. NPO, RTL and SBS have really tried it with him, because he has made television there for years and years. But that’s over …
Jandino vs Gordon
Jandino cannot be authentic on television and that is why he says he does not want to be on the tube anymore. How does he look back on his TV years? With mixed feelings. “Because I am dyslexic … I remember the first working day. That was with Gordon and he is someone you are going to test, do you? I made mistakes … then he also called everything.”
Working with Gordon was so challenging that Jandino no longer wanted, he says in the podcast Open card. In fact, he immediately wanted to stop the in question the TV show they made, namely everything is allowed on Friday. “I remember calling Erland Galjaard and John de Mol, and I said,” I’m not going to do this. I’m not going to sit in such a workplace. “
No Martijn
What did John say to convince Jandino? “Then John said:” But I didn’t ask Martijn Krabbé. If I wanted Martijn Krabbé, I would have asked Martijn Krabbé. I asked Jandino for how you are. “
And that is not a perfect presenter. “I didn’t work with autocue, I just did it out of my mind. I have a bit of a photographic memory and I did it very much my way.”
Satisfying
Jandino does not cherish a resort to Gordon. “I was also grateful to Gordon afterwards, because it was too … you shouldn’t think that everyone does so: come but Jandino, take my place! It was my first big show from RTL. You know how Gordon is at that moment.”
“Afterwards I was grateful that I thought: wait a minute, do you want your place? Fight for your place and do it your way. And once I think: Oh, I have seen it, I will get away!”
Beautiful motto. The viewer is eternally grateful to him.
