Matthijs van Nieuwkerk believes that there is no better talk show host in the Netherlands than Wilfred Genee. He is extremely good at keeping a good rhythm on television, according to the DWDD celebrity.
We never see Matthijs van Nieuwkerk in the mainstream media anymore, but he has now opened his own blog at Substack. In it he writes about all kinds of things that he admires or finds beautiful. This time the fallen De Wereld Draait Door star comes with a top three of people who are the best at keeping a good rhythm.
‘Wilfred is the best!’
Wilfred Genee also appears in it. It turns out that Matthijs is a big fan of the presenter of Today Inside. “There would be no VI without Johan Derksen, I agree. But neither would there be without Wilfred Genee.”
He continues: “Gene keeps the beat as casually as he is a virtuoso in the country’s most popular TV band. He is a one-man rhythm section. While Johan’s report on a paralyzed politician still seems to be in full flight, Wilfred is the first to feel that the sting is losing some. And he immediately asks Gijp: ‘Say Rene, was it a penalty?’”
Cozy
In this way, Wilfred ensures that the speed is always maintained. “Gijp obviously knows immediately which match it is about and it’s Johan & Vleugellamme Politicus who’s gone. Never seen again. Bam.”
He concludes: “The very well-informed Wilfred Genee, playing with his phone, slightly slumped back in his chair, not necessarily cosy, always razor sharp, is our best talk show host.”
Matthijs consistently rejects invitations to join VI himself.
