It is finally known who will succeed Maarten van Rossem as a jury member in De Slimste Mens. It has since been explained by telephone, says the 81-year-old media personality. “Surprised.”
The rest of the country does not yet know, but Maarten van Rossem himself: his successor to De Slimste Mens is known. Herman van der Zandt was arranged a long time ago as the new Philip Freriks, but it was a lot longer for the new Maarten. There is now white smoke and the person in question has been contracted.
Successor is known
Maarten was told by telephone. “I had a telephone appointment in which I would be revealed who would be my replacement for the smartest person. This happened. Unfortunately for you I had to swear by everything that I will not make known before the official press statement is out,” he says in his podcast.
He continues: “I could discuss, but the candidate is of such a nature that the chance that I am very small in the course of this conversation, which we will talk about.”
Very surprised
What does Maarten think of the new candidate? “I was enormously surprised. I keep the tension in it. (…) I can live very well with it. I can really live with it very well.”
When will it be known? “Sometime in the course of the following week, if I have understood it all correctly,” said De Moppermummie.
Is it Marcel?
Is it Marcel van Roosmalen? No, not that. “Hahahahahaha. Actually, I should just say,” Yes, it is! I just read his piece in the newspaper! ” No, it is not, so don’t worry about that. “
Johan Derksen maybe? “No, of course not, come on. It’s a serious program, come on.”
KRO-NCRV will probably announce the moped replacement on Monday or Tuesday.
