Johan Derksen tipped the television duo Marcel van Roosmalen and Gijs Groenteman a while back for a switch to SBS 6, but then argued with the couple. Now they still come.
Marcel van Roosmalen and Gijs Groenteman were suddenly praised by Johan Derksen six months ago. In Today Inside he praised their program Media Inside and tipped them as successors to the failed talk show HLF8. “Because it’s so bad, it’s kind of cult and it’s a lot of fun to watch.”
Stench for thanks
Remarkably enough, a quarrel arose between the three afterwards, because Gijs turned out to look down on the VI trio. “It’s a kind of asylum that Today Inside. It was all about whether we want to take over HLF8. Whether we actually want that is not an issue at all, but they see themselves as a kind of committee that decides whether we are suitable.”
He described them as a ‘bunch of idiots’ and Johan was not pleased about that. “They call this a classic stench for thanks,” said the football connoisseur at the time.
John listens
John de Mol apparently listened to Johan’s advice at the time, because Marcel and Gijs are, according to it AD brought in as a summer replacement for VI.
Today Inside will go on holiday on June 2, followed by the Marcel and Gijs show and then Hélène Hendriks will start her cycling talk show De Oranjezomer. “
The news has been confirmed to the AD by ‘sources’, but SBS 6 was not available for comment, according to the newspaper.
