Wilfred Genee says he has been approached countless times to participate in Wie is de Mol, but he absolutely does not like it. “What inspires those guys?” shouts the Today Inside star.
The editorial staff of Wie is de Mol spends the entire year attracting celebrities. It is important that at least a few big names participate to score high viewing figures. That is why they have been after Wilfred Genee for years, but the presenter of Today Inside is not in the mood for it, he says in the Veronica Superguide-guide.
Wilfred no Mole
Wilfred doesn’t want to think about it. “What inspires those guys? Adult people who play a game and enjoy it so much. I have been asked to do it several times. No, sorry, if I start doing that, life will end!”
He would be up for a variation on Best Singers. “A great find. Johan Derksen always says: ‘There’s way too much whining in it’, but I think there’s something to that. It always makes me happy. At VI, by the way, we’re thinking about starting Worst Singers, for people like me.”
Linda’s fan
Which program is Wilfred a fan of? Million dollar hunt, he says. “Secretly, on Sunday evenings, with my son. Genius format, because I often think: what on earth am I doing? Watching Million Hunt?!”
“But it is family entertainment in an old-fashioned way, which reminds me of the earlier atmospheres of Willem Ruis, Ted de Braak and Fred Oster.”
