Sandra Schuurhof does not necessarily think it is bad news that no new TV projects with Nick & Simon are planned. “That would be very strange. A bit forced.”
TV authority Tina Nijkamp has discovered that there are no more TV programs with Nick & Simon planned for 2024, while it was emphatically stated that their musical break would have no consequences for their TV duoship. However, it seems a bit over between the gentlemen; Simon Keizer said this week that he only gives their friendship a 6.5.
Nick & Simon on hold
Evert Santegoeds, editor-in-chief of Privé, is the editor of Show news let us discuss exactly how this works. “We started calling and indeed, AvroTros said: ‘If there is news, we will announce it, but nothing is planned for the time being.’ Kees Tol was always with us on the trip and he doesn’t know if there are any new plans.”
What does Kees say then? “He doesn’t want to say anything about it either, so it’s quite sensitive. It may have something to do with the poor 6.5 that Simon gives for his friendship with Nick, otherwise it died a silent death. Their manager doesn’t want to say anything about it, no one wants to say anything about it, so only the AvroTros says in a measured manner: ‘If there is news, you will hear about it.’”
Back together
According to Tina Nijkamp, it is simply over with Nick & Simon as a television duo. “I understand that it will not go ahead for the time being.”
Crazy, says show expert Bart Ettekoven. “It was quite successful, wasn’t it?”
Evert: “Yes, but they were still together then. Now they come together again to travel together, while you gradually know what they think about each other.”
Sandra very negative
Sandra Schuurhof thinks it is a good thing that the TV duo of Nick & Simon has now also come to an end. She would find a renewed collaboration on television unbelievable. “That would be very strange. A bit forced.”
She therefore advises the gentlemen against traveling together for TV again. “Then it really becomes a moneymaker.”
