Johan Derksen is not enthusiastic that Özcan Akyol has become one of the regulars in Eva Jinek’s talk show. “Eus will soon have another video,” sneers the Today Inside mustache.
Both Today Inside and Omroep MAX have said goodbye to Özcan Akyol because of the role he played in the Matthijs van Nieuwkerk scandal, but Eva Jinek remains loyal to him. He can sometimes be seen several times a week in her talk show on NPO 1, but this causes quite an annoyance to his former VI colleague Johan Derksen.
Annoying video
Johan saw Eus this time in the Eva broadcast with Chris Stoffer. “I saw Eus again. He has forced his way into Jinek’s house, hasn’t he? He is now back at Jinek’s house again and he is looking with that hypocritical face at that man from the SGP. Then I think: watch out Jinek, because soon Eus will have another video that will be very annoying for you.”
Wilfred then adds Genee to the table Today Inside: “No, but in the end it is not there, of course. In the end the video is not there.”
‘Not to be trusted’
Johan does not understand what Eva wants to do with him. “No, but Eus in your program… So I wouldn’t trust him anymore. If he kills his best friend who made him great, then I wouldn’t really like to have him next to me here.”
Wilfred: “Yes, you already mentioned that Summer Guests. He could have better stated here: ‘I may not have handled that very well’, and then perhaps he should have sat down with Matthijs.”
‘Completely dismissed’
Eus never has to knock on Johan’s door again. “The bad thing is that he says in interviews: ‘All sensible people agreed with me in what I said.’ Well, then he was completely finished for me.”
Telegraaf journalist Wierd Duk understands him. “I don’t think you should stab your best friend in the back. Not at all.”
Johan: “With a made-up story, eh! A made-up story.”
Ringmaster
Table guest Thomas van Groningen then comes up with an anecdote. “I had an experience with Eus once: I was a guest on Op1, on a Tuesday evening I believe, and after the broadcast you had such an after-dinner drink there. Then he said to me: ‘I really think you are one of the greatest talents on TV and I think you are so good and so wonderful.’”
He continues: “The next day he sat here and nagged me for fifteen minutes with: ‘He’s a kind of circus director and when he opens his mouth, you think: now something will happen, but then nothing will happen.’ I was sitting in front of the TV with a drink and I almost choked.”
‘That’s the way this world is!’
Johan thinks that Eus was right about that, he jokes. “He also tells the truth sometimes!”
Thomas: “Then I really thought: last night you thought I was very good!”
Wilfred finally: “Yes, but that’s the way this world is! Keep that in mind!”
