Niels van der Laan, one of the stars of Even Tot Hier, has been severely criticized in Today Inside. According to Johan Derksen, he is flirting with the death threats against him. “Worp and woof.”
Due to his involvement in the Sinterklaas news, in which he plays the role of Head Pete, Niels van der Laan has been threatened with death. Adult viewers of the program were furious about a storyline in which, according to them, the fairy tale of Sinterklaas was unraveled. And one of them was so ferocious that Niels was threatened with death.
Coquettish
Niels made a big splash with this in his own TV hit Even Tot Hier, in which he even sang a song about it. That is too muchsays Johan Derksen. “I was very annoyed by that tall one. He has been threatened with death for the first time in his life and he is flirting with it tremendously,” he says in Today Inside.
He continues: “The whole of the Netherlands should know that, but yes, if you have been involved in the profession for a little longer, then that is commonplace. If we have to tell it here every time we receive such a message, we will repeat ourselves, but he was quite full of it.”
‘Very important’
Wilfred Genee also thinks it is a bit exaggerated. “Yes, he also devoted the entire broadcast to it, he went on to explain it and then I saw that Youp was angry with him again. Really…”
Johan: “Yes, he now considers himself very important, Mr. Van der Laan.”
Job Knoester: “I don’t think it’s a good idea to make your own program about that.”
White foot
Wilfred believes that the Even Tot Hier duo should not abuse their power. “And last time with that nonsense about the cuts. Then I also thought: guys, don’t use that program for that.”
Johan: “Yes, that’s a good thing for the broadcaster, isn’t it?”
Wilfred decides: “Yes, start making satire, but not about your own things.”
