Matthijs van Nieuwkerk causes irritation at Johan Derksen because he does not want to respond personally to the offer to join as a regular guest in today Inside. “A bit arrogant.”
If it is up to Johan Derksen, there are currently two serious options for the follow -up of Albert Verlinde as a regular replacement for René van der Gijp on Wednesday evenings of Inside. On the one hand, Wierd Duk has a chance – you just have to move that one chair – and on the other hand there is Matthijs van Nieuwkerk.
Hollywood star
Since the DWDD scandal, Matthijs is still without television work and a job at the most viewed talk show in the Netherlands is a golden chance, but his manager is still on the plain.
The idea comes from Wilfred Genee, Johan tells Shownieuws. “I had one small contact with Wilfred. He emailed me:” What do you think of Matthijs van Nieuwkerk? ” Then I emailed him again: “I think that’s an excellent idea,” but Matthijs stays in that role of Hollywood star. “
Haughty
Matthijs’s behavior is haughty, says Johan. “You can’t communicate with that and you can’t just call or email that, because everything goes through a manager. I think: what does that man need a manager for. He is no longer in the position that he has the jobs for choosing, isn’t it?”
He concludes: “Jan Slagter and I are pretty much the only ones in the country who defend him and who also offer him new opportunities, you know. If you are then dismissed by a manager who bursts open doors, I think: dude, I find that a bit arrogant.”
