“This was the last episode of Zomergasten of this season,” Abbring reports. “It’s my last episode ever.” She thanks the viewers for watching and also the entire team for their efforts. “It’s a great team.”
Finally, she asks her guest, psychiatrist and trauma specialist Bessel van der Kolk, if he wants to stand in the water with her. By this she means the water that surrounds the interview stage. “So that I can help answer that frequently asked viewer’s question: ‘is this water real and how deep is it actually’?” Van der Kolk and Abbring take off their shoes and stand in the water at the end of the episode.
In the program, the presenter spoke with a number of prominent guests about their ideal television evening. Abbring made her debut in 2017 as a presenter of the interview program of the VPRO. After Peter van Ingen, who led the program for eight seasons from 1988 to 1995, she was the longest serving Summer guests-presenter.
In December, Abbring also made a series for the first time Winter guestswhich hosted international celebrities.
