Hans Kraay Jr. refused to become the fixed raid at today inside, but why actually? “Yes, you were sent away a bit by Johan. It was a kind of f*ck you.”
To save his marriage, since this year René van der Gijp can only be seen four evenings a week in today Inside. Who has become the fixed raid-Gijp on Wednesday evening? Albert Verlinde. However, he was not the first choice, because initially tried to connect Hans Kraay Jr. to the show. However, he had no ears.
Hans didn’t want
It must have been a surprise for Hans, because Johan Derksen worked him out when VI transformed from a football talk show to a daily program about current events. If you had taken Hans, it would have stayed too much with the old, says Johan. And yet he now wanted him to be there again as a raid.
Hans said about that at the time: “Wilfred called me a lot of times. He says:” Hansie, we want you back to René on Wednesday. René is for that and Johan is not against it either. ” Then I said no, because I think I am in a very nice phase at ESPN. ”
“F*ck you!”
However, Hélène Hendriks also works for ESPN, so Hans could easily have combined that. Why did he refuse? René brings it up in his podcast. “At one point De Mol wanted him as a replacement for me, on Wednesday.”
Michel van Egmond, who was the editor -in -chief for years,: “What also did him very well is that he could say no to that. I wish him to say that. Yes, you are a bit sent away by Johan, that you then say:” Well f*ck you, I have something else to do. ” And he loves that ESPN. “
Other things
René does understand Hans. “No, but you know, of course he is there Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yes. So I can understand that you just think during the week: yes, then I want to keep a bit of other things.”
He recently watched the new documentary about Hans. “I do have the idea that the urge to prove has become a little less. A little less. That is also allowed, yes.”
Michel: “May also, at this age.”
Very positive
Johan also has a role in that documentary. He speaks praising words about Hans. “I think things like this also do him good, you know,” says Michel. “Johan was very positive, everyone was super positive. And he was recently in a conversation at Renze, he did that very well.”
“I think that too, even at this age, gives him a boost. While: he doesn’t need that at all, because he does it perfectly.”
