Victor Vlam is in the picture as the new substitute by René van der Gijp at the table at today Inside. He finds himself a bit inexperienced himself, but Tina Nijkamp says: “This is good for the viewing figures.”
Talpa has made a crucial mistake by not contracting Albert Verlinde as Wednesday-Gijp at Inside today. Awkig, because he is now moving to the new competitor RTL Tonight. Who wants Johan Derksen to have Albert? “I proposed to put Wierd and Victor alternately on Wednesday,” he says in De Telegraaf.
Pretentious
His preference for Wierd Duk and Victor Vlam is striking. Although they fit well with the right -wing profile of VI, they do not have the sympathy hanging on their ass that René van der Gijp has. Albert is considerably more cheerful and more fun than both men, but Johan seems to find a substantive click more important.
What does Victor think of it? He says in the newspaper: “I think it’s a great program, but it would be very pretentious to do that. I just start with this and I think I should get better in many places.”
Honor
Only when Victor hears that Johan himself pushed him forward as a potential raid-Gijp, he says: “A very big honor, because in my eyes Johan is the most important opinion maker of the Netherlands.”
Wierd is open to it. He doesn’t think it’s such a big thing at all. “I am already there in the two weeks, so then I move a chair.”
“Don’t think so”
Raymond Mens is not to poke, he says in The Oranjezomer. “To be honest, I don’t think so. It seems very nice to do, but we are now falling in because there are a lot of people on vacation and we think that is very cool, but my profession is talking about America.”
“I wouldn’t like it if I had to sit there on a fixed day, while the day after, for example, Trump is big in the news and I can’t say anything about it. I would find that a shame. I think that place at the bar there … It is me.”
What does Tina think?
Tina Nijkamp thinks Victor and Wierd are good candidates. She writes on her analysis canal: “Good names, also in terms of viewing figures. Wierd scores well (news of the day always scores just a little higher).”
And Victor? “That talks really well (concise) and, for example, also spent Tuesday with the Oranjezomer (best broadcast of Thomas so far and the highest score).”
