RTL 4 has decided to stop programming a late talk show seven days a week, which has consequences for Humberto Tan and Renze Klamer, who take turns on weekends. The Saturday edition is out – it has now been exchanged for a pitifully bad program with Marieke Elsinga – and so only the Sunday show remains.

‘A bit short’

Who did Renze hear it from? He tells magazine Party: “I heard that neatly from Peter van der Vorst and his second. We had a good talk about it. I can agree with their motivation and on the other hand it was a bit short, but there are so many other fun things to come.”

Renze is now employed as an entertainment presenter. “It’s not that everything stands or falls with it for me. I will continue to make Renze Op Zondag and also the new adventure program The Unknown.”

Quite exciting

The Unknown is a program by the makers of De Verraders and Wie is de Mol. According to Renze, it is ‘exciting’ to make the step to this type of television. “Usually what I record is live on television. In this case, it was recorded a while ago. Working so far ahead in such a different setting was really new to me.”

He continues: “For me it is a new genre within the field of presenting. It is such a different way of presenting and therefore automatically a challenge for me. (…) But I really enjoyed doing it. At RTL they were very happy with it.”
