Hey, that’s crazy: while ‘little director’ Marco Louwerens stars night after night in De Slimste Mens, we don’t see anything of it in Today Inside. How is that possible? Is it forbidden?
Marco Louwerens has been affectionately called ‘director’ for years by the men of Today Inside. He was recently seen there in the role of Sinterklaas, despite the fact that he recently left as Bobo of Talpa. Because of that departure he felt free to participate in De Slimste Mens; Previously, his boss John de Mol did not see it that way.
“They’re not allowed!”
We have been seeing Marco all week in the NPO 1 hit quiz, but nothing is said about it in Today Inside. No fragment, no images, no comment about it. Nothing. And that must mean something, because a VI prominent who is in such a popular program? That would normally be an immediate topic.
In any case, it cannot be the fault of the makers of De Slimste Mens, because its producer, Marc Dik, writes in a now deleted X-message: “Quite strange, not a word is mentioned in Today Inside about ‘little director’ who is doing a very nice job in De Slimste Mens. It’s like they’re not even allowed to talk about it.”
‘Very strange’
Huh? The men of Today Inside are not allowed to talk about Marco participating in The Smartest Person? Well, that could actually be possible, because John de Mol also bans his stars from participating in the program. He thinks the knowledge quiz is too much of a threat to his own programs at half past eight.
But to even impose a ban on the men of VI from talking about The Smartest Man? In any case, it is suspicious that they say nothing about Marco’s participation, according to media expert Victor Vlam. “Very strange, yes.”
