Angela de Jong sympathizes with Estavana Polman, because as the new presenter of Beter Laat Dan Nooit she has to travel with, among others, Henny Huisman. “That’s a bit sad.”
The TV show Beter Laat Dan Nooit, in which elderly celebrities go on a trip with a young chick, moves from RTL 4 to SBS 6 with Estavana Polman as the new presenter. The four participating stars are Ad Visser, Edwin Rutten, Frits Barend and Henny Huisman. That is easy to do, thinks Angela de Jong. Except for Henry…
‘a bit sad’
Angela thinks it’s terrible for Estavana that she has to go on a trip with Henny. “I think it’s a bit sad when you see who she has to travel with. I like that a little less,” she says in the AD Media podcast.
What does she think of it then? “Yes, of that whole list I think Edwin Rutten is a really sweet man, I think. And Frits Barend, I like him too. But Henny Huisman, that you have to go with that, man…”
Push out of sight
It’s really hard to go on a trip with a figure like Henny, Angela thinks. “I think you’re just pushing Henny out of the picture all the time because he’s back in front of the camera and has to say something and thinks: I’m back in the picture now, so I’m going to grab my chance again.”
Colleague Marcus den Blanken: “But I think she can handle that well. That she can name it too. And I think that is an exciting combination.”
Presenter Manuel Venderbos: “Yes: ‘Stop it for a while.’ I can hear her say that.”
Not so nice anymore
Angela thinks it can be quite something, but also has her doubts. “What I also thought: the second season of Beter Later Nooit, with Katja of course, was no longer so much fun. I mean: they know what the effect was and is, and then it is very acted on in front of the camera.”
Then everyone will play a role, according to the AD tiger shark. “Well, of course you will get that now, because they must of course match the success of the previous one. I’m not completely convinced.”
