Özcan Akyol thinks that Renze Klamer is an incredibly untalented presenter. He also always deliberately calls him ‘Renzo’, to tease him. But what is actually behind that?
NPO star Özcan Akyol has a fixed trick to get people out of the blood: mispronounce their name. For example, he calls Gijs Groenteman Gijs Groenteboer and Renze Klamer is Renzo Klamer. Renzo? No, he can’t do anything!”, he said again yesterday at the table Inside today.
Why Renzo?
Wilfred Genee would like to know what’s behind that. “Why do you call him Renzó anyway? What is that all about? I’m so curious about that. Why do you say Renzo?”
That has to do with an embarrassing moment at an RTL party, says Özcan. “Well, I heard there was a staff party for the talk shows at RTL. That’s quite a few, four. There was a meeting and all those editors and production people were there.”
Surprise act
It was a big party, says Özcan. “They also had a surprise act, they didn’t know who was coming. Then suddenly a large box appeared, a kind of gift box. It opened and suddenly Hans Klok jumped out. Hans Klok, the wizard.”
And then? “He jumped out and said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, how nice to be here. It is always a pleasure to be your guest! With Eva, with Humberto, with Beau and with ehhh… Ehhh… Renzoooo!’ That’s what he said and everyone laughed. Hence the name.”
Truth
Wilfred then to colleague Johan Derksen: “By the way, he lashed out at you, didn’t he? You crawl John de Mol up his ass.”
Johan: “But he can tell the truth!”
