Sven Kockelmann had such a strange broadcast of Op1 on Friday: he sat at the table with all the guests who did not want to say anything, including Mona Keijzer. “He needs to be more critical with the guest list.”
The Friday episode of Op1 was very difficult last weekend. Presenter Sven Kockelmann couldn’t get his guests talking; Mona Keijzer in particular was a complete disaster. She plays a prominent role in the current formation discussions, but she immediately bounced every question about it back to the host.
Curious
René van der Gijp didn’t like the sight of it, he says Today Inside. “I was watching Op1 on Friday. You actually have to switch away, but I just kept watching. That Mona Keijzer who says to every question: ‘Yes, but I can’t answer this’… And our friend Jan Paternotte who says to every question: ‘Then you should go to Jetten.’”
Who was the other guest at the table? “Our friend Ed Nijpels. But he only wants to talk about himself! About the time of Wiegel, Van Agt and Lubbers. It was cringeworthy.”
‘Sven, intervene!’
Johan Derksen has also seen it. “Yes, then I am not surprised that they only have half the viewers that we have.”
René: “Didn’t you think that Sven Kockelmann had to laugh a bit about it too?”
Johan: “Yes, but Sven was also very annoyed, but Sven should also be more critical of the editors about which guests you invite.”
René: “This was the superlative. Just three people who don’t say anything!”
Political special
Table guest Özcan Akyol thinks that Op1 should stop with the political special on Friday. “If you decide that you want to do politics every Friday, but there is no political news, then you have to let that go, right? But they absolutely have to do politics on Friday.”
René: “This isn’t possible?! This really isn’t possible, is it? Come on, hey.”
Drunk television
Johan believes that guests who do not want to say anything should just stay at home. “They shouldn’t invite them, but Mona Keijzer and that other guy shouldn’t sit there either, because they know: those topics will be discussed and then I’ll sit there.”
René: “Isn’t this drunk television?”
