Johan Derksen surprised by low viewing figures: ‘Everything that Ebbinge does is fun’ | TV

„Yesterday – because my wife watches it and you know: I am a social animal – I watched the program Toothache seen,” recalls Derksen. „Fantástic programme, with that Ebbinge van The Lice Mother† Very nice.”

However, it is a thorn in Derksen’s side that the ‘all-determining election quiz’ of the NTR, which can be seen on Sunday evening at NPO 3, only draws 190,000 viewers. “For a program I like. Farmer seeks wife: two million viewers. †The evening show with Arjened.) Lubach: a million all week. What’s wrong with the taste of the Dutch? It is an incredibly nice program, but the Netherlands has not discovered it.”

Diederik Ebbinge, who in the past has spoken unflatteringly about the men of VI, in the eyes of Derksen can do nothing wrong. “Actually, everything that Ebbinge does is fun. Those are the anti-heroes, and they are never discussed. It is not the programs that score big.”

Promenade

In the first episode of the summer edition of Promenadein September 2020, the men of were poked fun at VI† A month earlier, Derksen, Gijp and presenter Wilfred Genee They were still at odds with each other and they said that they no longer wanted to sit at the same table. But after intervention by Talpa boss John de Mol, the three of them finally gave in.

Reason for Ebbinge, Ton Kas, Henry van Loon and Eva Crutzen to make fun of it in a satirical way. And that made Gijp laugh again. “I have to tell you quite frankly that I don’t lie under my chair screaming with laughter for half an hour, but I think that Promenade nice. It’s absurd, but fun. That guy played him (pointing to Derksen), and that joke he told made me laugh really hard.”
