Renze Klamer once lost his talk show because Khalid Kasem was put forward by BNNVARA, but now the broadcaster is backing down. “It really is becoming an increasingly difficult story.”
The chance that Khalid Kasem will ever return as a TV presenter now seems nil and the worst appears to be yet to come. The National Criminal Investigation Department will investigate the story that he bribed a civil servant. According to Renze Klamer, things really don’t look good for the man who disappeared him from the TV.
Difficult story
Renze points it out in his talk show, where ratings authority Tina Nijkamp sits at the table. “Yes, Tina, I think it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to make another TV program.”
Tina agrees. “Yes, that will be very difficult. At least not in the near future. That, no, that is unfortunately going to be very difficult.”
Renze: “Furthermore, it is a file that we know very little about, so we can only really talk about the television side. Of course, that means Sophie & Jeroen will start next Monday, right?”
Sophie on Monday
Jeroen Pauw is Khalid’s replacement. Tina: “Yes, Sophie starts on Monday, so I assume she will refer to it then. Then she will come back to it. And Jeroen will start on Tuesday. I do expect that the viewing figures will be slightly better from Jeroen, but I do think that they will score less than, for example, More Than Expected.”
Tina doesn’t think it will reach a million viewers. NPO star Teun van de Keuken about the viewing figures of Jeroen and Sophie: “It would be a bit painful if that started to diverge a lot, wouldn’t it?”
‘Stop the talk show!’
In any case, they will both not reach the figures of the reality series about large families that are currently still on the seven-hour slot of NPO 1, according to Tina. “More Than Expected scores so well and Een Huis Vol scores so well… Yes, that is unprecedented. They score just as well as De Wereld Draait Door.”
Teun: “You’re actually saying: just stop that talk show at that time?”
Tina: “Well, I could imagine that the NPO thinks: if Eva Jinek doesn’t succeed at seven o’clock, then we’ll stop. It’s make or break, I think.”
