Gerard Joling prefers to listen to the Songfestival commentary of his angry step sister Gordon than to Cornald Maas’s. “That man has the humor of a dead gym shoe!”
It has been a huge missed opportunity for years: the Eurovision Songfestival could use some airy comments, but at AVROTROS they keep holding on to Cornald Maas. That man always sounds like he’s commenting on a political debate. Many people have been arguing for years to use a humorous person for this.
Great party
Gordon has now announced that he will be commenting on the song festival together with Andy van der Meijde, but then via a live stream on the internet. What does Gerard Joling think? He was asked about it yesterday Renze.
Surprisingly, Gerard is quite positive about it. “That seems very funny to me. He can really do that. I once had to comment on a football match with Gordon for the KPN and that was one big party.”
Dead gym shoe
It can be something, says Geer. “If he has someone who can hang himself a bit and with whom he can make jokes, then I think he’s a very good thing about Andy, so I think that will be very funny. But it can soon be nicer than Cornald Maas, so it will be fine.”
He continues: “I mean: I think Cornald Maas is neat and tidy, but he has the humor of a dead gym shoe. There is really no humor.”
All knowledge
Host Renze Klamer is something enthusiastic about it. “He has all the knowledge.”
Gerard: “Yes, knowledge … What good is you … you also want to laugh and fun and entertainment?”
Renze: “You actually both want it.”
Jan de Hoop: “But it has been canceled with a bad emphasis.”
Gerard: “Do you have it in the show next week that you will stay so neat?”
Renze: “No, but I think Cornald also just a kind National Treasure is. “
‘Don’t worse me’
Angela de Jong also appears to be fairly mild for Cornald. “I am not annoyed either.”
Jan: “You are not annoyed, but does it add something?”
Angela: “Well, mwah …”
Gerard: “Everyone can just choose. You have to do what you feel like.”
