Rutger Castricum talks all about Jeroen Pauw. He reveals that they are working together on plans to counterbalance Khalid & Sophie. “Then you’ve had acid four times.”
The talk show Khalid & Sophie will move to the late evening after the summer, where it will be shown from Monday to Thursday at the current time of Op1. And on Friday evening? Little is known about this yet, but Rutger Castricum now provides a glimpse of the veil at the table in the New Year’s Eve special of Today Inside.
Counterbalance
Rutger has plans. “I did say at PowNed: if we have had four sours, we have to have something sweet on Friday, so maybe we should take Friday. We are working on that and we are already having conversations with big names that you can also laugh at, so that it is not all sour.”
He continues: “They are such big names that if I say now that things will immediately explode, that is also a shame. But I would really like to counterbalance Khalid & Sophie four times on Friday.”
‘Tell me!’
Wilfred Genee challenges him. “But it’s already December 31, so you can just tell me, right?”
Rutger: “Yes, hahaha.”
There is applause in the hall. Rutger: “Yes, that is true, yes. Is it December 31st yet? Hahahaha. (…) No, but if I do that, then… Okay, Jeroen Pauw. Yes of course.”
Johan: “Then he can probably produce it himself?”
Rutger: “He wants to produce it himself, yes, hahaha. That was the requirement.”
Peacock every week?
Will we soon get to see Jeroen Pauw every Friday evening? Rutger: “I think it can be done well and I think it should be done from the NPO, because if you present Khalid & Sophie four times in the late evening…”
Wilfred: “Yes, then people really need help.”
Rutger: “Yes, then people need help. What is it about? They scream bloody murder internally at the NPO that Wilders is the greatest and I understand that there are concerns, but you can also say to yourself: how did that happen? (…) They have not managed to connect the people in the country to what is being made.”
Kaag Jr.
Johan Derksen thinks that Khalid & Sophie is very far away from people. “It will soon be a disaster with Khalid and Kaag Jr. Four evenings of girls wearing headscarves complaining that they are being discriminated against is a bit much.”
Rutger: “I don’t mind girls wearing headscarves telling their stories, but the way it was done and the one-sidedness of it… People no longer take it seriously.”
