John de Mol is consistently very grumpy on Monday morning and it is best not to disturb him, media journalist Mark Koster reveals. “That story goes, yes,” confirms Tina Nijkamp.
If glances could kill, then half of Hilversum would now be underground: John de Mol seems to really not be enjoying on Monday morning. According to media journalist Mark Koster, who wrote a book about the Chagrijn CEO, it is better to wear a helmet in John’s neighborhood without coffee. Anyone who survives the morning in his office can handle the entire TV world …
Mega success
It will be discussed when Mark it in his podcast The Media Week has about the success of Miljoenenjacht, of which the suitcase game has become an international mega success under the name Deal or Deal.
TV authority Tina Nijkamp confirms: “In addition to weekend millionaires, it is one of the most sold quizzes ever. In a hundred countries, I believe that it will be broadcast.”
Blood -chagry
The format of Deal or No Deal was conceived by Dick de Rijk, and not by John. “I sometimes tried to call that man when I was busy with my book about De Mol and he didn’t want to cooperate at the time, but this format was not included in that big endemol deal to the Spaniards,” said Mark.
He continues: “It is a wonderful story, because he came to pitch this to John de Mol on Monday morning and then he is always blood -chagrk, says Dick de Rijk. Can you confirm that by the way?”
Blood -chagry
Tina doesn’t know for sure, she says. “I never spoke John so often on Monday morning.”
Mark: “But it was always blood -chagry in the morning?”
Tina: “That story is, yes.”
Even his ashtrays beg for grace in the morning. Mark: “John had smoked 60 cigarettes and then Dick de Rijk convinced him to do it and then he played with Els, John’s husband, in bed in the evening. And his suitcase, who was worth ten guilders, was then sold for 350 thousand guilders.”
Dutch glory
That’s how it works with Mopper magnate John, says Mark. “So John de Mol smokes 60 cigarettes, is blood -chagrise on Monday morning and it is in bed with Els in the evening and plays the game. I think that is great that the big John de Mol … that Dick de Rijk has sold that game to him.”
He concludes: “This is Dutch glory.”
