Sam Hagens appears for a moment with his former employer SBS 6 and remarkable: there is still no shame on his jaws. Does he really find it embarrassing that he was going on vacation this summer?
Some TV talents, so to speak, make a murder: their own talk show. Sam Hagens and Welmoed Sijtsma received that last summer on the flagship of the public broadcaster, NPO 1, but what turned out to be? As a typical sign of their generation, they demanded a good private work balance and they just went on holiday.
“On vacation again?”
Sam and Welmoed alternated: first one went, then the other. It caused the pair a lot of criticism, because if you finally get the chance to make a Duotalk show, then you are not going to run on half strength? Then you will postpone that holiday? Well, ‘postponing’ does not appear in their dictionary.
Apparently Sam is currently not on vacation, because last night he appeared at his old home base SBS 6, namely at The Oranjezondag from former colleague Hélène Hendriks. The hostess asked him right: “When will you have vacation again?”
Not yet planned
Sam can now only be seen in Goedorgorgen Nederland, is therefore off the main stage and has not planned any vacation now. “I haven’t planned my next vacation at all.”
Hélène: “That was a bit of a point of criticism, hey, when you had the summer talk show. Then they said,” Yes, then they finally have a talk show and then the one and then the other goes on vacation. ” Do you think: faint to say, or is there something in it? “
All fine
Sam responds to it. “No, I think it’s all fine. It was more: there was a gap that still had to be filled at the last minute, and then we thought: yes, we also saw it as a chance. Then we can also show how we do it on our own and how we do it. I actually enjoyed it.”
What did he like: with or without a welmoed? “I prefer to present with Welmoed. It’s just very nice to do something together. She also adds a lot.”
600 thousand
Of course he cannot give another answer, notes TV critic Victor Vlam from the bar stool. Sam is not going to make that mistake, certainly not after the slider of Welmoed, who shouted to them prior to their talk show that she would rather have made the program with her other WNL colleague Frank van Leeuwen.
Finally: how does Sam look back on the viewing figures for Good evening Netherlands? “Above 600 thousand! RTL Tonight hasn’t saved that yet, hahaha!”
