Viola Holt does not want to join as an expert in Op1: ‘This is why’

Viola Holt should not think about joining as an expert in a talk show like Op1. As an expert of what is unclear, but she doesn’t feel like it. “This is why.”

Viola Holt has only popped up in the wappie corner in recent years, because we no longer see her in the regular media. Why? She says it’s a personal choice. Although she can of course also claim that to ease the pain of the fact that her former 5 Hours Show colleague Catherine Keyl is still completely hot is in the media.

Viola wants anonymity

The 73-year-old Viola, who recently appeared in Thierry Baudet’s talk show, is happy with the anonymity. “It was a wonderful life on TV, but I now enjoy my peace and the freedom to go where I want.”

For example, she is abroad on August 5 to celebrate her birthday, together with her husband Peter. “Let’s go away just the two of us. I can go on like this for a while,” she says in the Weekend.

Not a guest in Op1

Doesn’t Viola want to appear as a prominent guest in all kinds of programs just like Catherine? No. “I call that ego reduction. I invented that word myself. I don’t have such a big ego, I don’t need to be in the foreground.”

We shouldn’t expect her in Op1 either. “No, not even as an expert in a talk show, because you see that nowadays, that everyone is just an expert. I paint, I have a husband, children, a grandchild, a cat and I am happy. I don’t like the TV world anymore. Netflix, on the other hand, I think is fantastic.”

Occupational deformation

Netflix thinks she’s great. “Series, I’ve seen them all, because you can look through without commercials. If I see a commercial break, I’m gone. I know the TV world through and through and in the beginning when I watched I sometimes thought: wrong light, or: nice question.”

She concludes: “The professional deformation persisted for years for me, but if you have worked for almost all broadcasters for 57 years, you will be done at some point.”
