Tom Egbers causes irritation for Johan Derksen with his appearance in Goedemorgen Nederland. The TV mustache doesn’t understand that he’s going to sit there. “Because he refuses to come to Today Inside.”
During the riot over his alleged misconduct, 68-year-old Tom Egbers could always count on the support of Johan Derksen, but the sports presenter has always refused to visit Today Inside. The same applies to Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, who also received support from VI, but at the same time does not want to appear in the studio.
Shit program
It causes Johan annoyance that we saw Tom yesterday in Goedemorgen Nederland. “I have been annoyed by those Tom Egbers. We have defended those Egbers here to the end and he is too miserable to sit here and then he leaves his nest at six o’clock for such a shitty program to sit there and be vain.”
Colleague Wilfred Genee agrees Today Inside: “He recently sat with me at BNR and then he said: ‘I don’t feel like I really belong there. That it’s a different kind of rhythm.’”
Other chicks
Johan then makes a painful joke, referring to the misconduct Tom was accused of. “We’re all with other women here, so he fits in well here.”
René van der Gijp: “Hahahahaha.”
Wilfred laughs: “I think this is one of the reasons he thinks: I don’t fit in here! With a comment like that!”
René: “Then Tom slams shut! And then it won’t open again!”
Wilfred: “I’m sure of that, yes! Hahaha.”
‘Better not’
Tom indeed recently said in BNR’s The Friday Move that he does not like VI. “To join Today Inside? Then there must be a good reason and to be honest, there are programs where I think: maybe it is better that I don’t sit there.”
He concludes: “Yes, look, I have the feeling that I can have a good conversation with all three of you individually, but that dynamic at the table is one that I think: I don’t thrive on that.”
