Cornald Maas confirms the story of Nikkie de Jager that this year he is commenting on his own because of the cutbacks of the Eurovision Song Contest. “A duo box is too expensive.”
Nikkie de Jager, also known as NikkietTutorials, states that she was in the race to become the co-commentator of Cornald Maas this year during the broadcasts of the Eurovision Song Contest. The reason why it didn’t happen? Geert Wilders. She thereby refers to the cutbacks on the public broadcaster.
“It’s nonsense!”
Is this correct? TV authority Tina Nijkamp states that it is nonsense. “We all know that that cannot be the reason, because if Avrotros had wanted it, a second man or woman next to Cornald Maas, it could have been best,” she says in her podcast Tina’s TV UPDATE.
She continues: “Cutbacks are certainly not the reason for that and even the most reason not to do it, because the AVROTROS has at least 30 million euros in Kas itself, so they can also pay the big Nikkie de Jager from that.”
Over -cobblestone
According to Cornald, a box that he himself also fits Nikkie is simply too expensive. “There was a financial consideration for AVROTROS: it saves a huge amount or you rent a comment booth for one or two people. Something that is logically important in a time of cuts at the NPO,” he says today in the Ad.
“But because the broadcaster did not actively communicate that, you get:” Cornald wants to do it himself if necessary. ” While it is much nicer for me to raise together, as I did with Jan Smit for eight years. ”
Little on TV
Tina would have liked it if Nikkie had become it. “We actually don’t see her much on television. Of course she presented the Eurovision Songfestival with Jan Smit, Chantal Janzen and Edsilia Rombley, and then she also got her own program on NPO 3, Make-up Mansion, a very nice program for the youth.”
“She also presented the one -off one -off on RTL 4, that was in April 2022 and had 729 thousand viewers, but there was no sequel to it. We also saw her at the time who is the Mol participating and now we actually see her very little. Of course very little. Of course at Make Up Your Mind, but no longer in that presentation role.”
“And I think that’s a shame,” she concludes. “Because I think she can present very well.”
