Jeroen Pauw has threatened with his departure at Bar Laat, the talk show that was shown until this summer on the late evening of NPO 1. What he thought of Sophie Hilbrand? “I find it difficult to speak about that.”
For the money, Jeroen Pauw does not have to do it anymore, but according to the presenter there is simply no one who can follow in his footsteps at the public broadcaster and that is why we keep seeing him as a talk show host. Until this summer he was the Host of Bar Laat, from tomorrow night he will do the new Pauw & De Wit with Tim de Wit.
Pawn
Sophie Hilbrand has been banned and the failed bar Laat is now on the TV kerkhof. “I think that too easily we were all going to make the talk show between 7 pm and 8 pm ‘also’ at the late evening. There was too much culture, especially in the beginning, and we were too little on the news. The viewer wishes the latter at such a time.”
He continues in it Ad: “It is a mistake that was recognized too late, causing uncertainty and dissatisfaction with the editors. You see that such a program is becoming less and I am worse about it. We are all responsible for it, too. But it made me grumpy.”
Threat
For a moment, Jeroen threatened to leave at Bar Laat. “In any case, I try not to bother the editors with it. You have to stay optimistic to keep things going. But the grin was so that I indicated: if we continue like this, I will stop.”
He continues: “I hope this does not happen as an arrogant threat, but I really thought it should be better. Bnnvara thought that, by the way, good things happened, but in general I can say that the program did not succeed.”
Machination
Co-host Sophie Hilbrand in particular received a lot of criticism; She would have been too activist. “I receive criticism with love and pleasure, but criticism of a colleague? I find it difficult to speak about that.”
“And sometimes there is a machination where someone shouts that it is too left and others call it after. In an era in which most talk shows toss to the right, it is of course true that something soon seems to the left.”
