Johan Derksen, René van der Gijp and Wilfred Genee will make a daily talk show next summer. The men from Veronica Inside will be on seven days a week for two months SBS 6 to be admired. “John de Mol asked us for this and we said ‘yes’ to that”, Derksen concludes The Telegraph the situation sober together.
During the European Championship the new talk show will be made from Slot Zeist, while the program will move to Otterlo during the Olympic Games. “We are going to sit there in a Droompark, a sponsor deal of course”, says Derksen about the last location. “But it seems to be very chic. I heard that Louis van Gaal has two houses there as an investment. Maybe I can sleep there from time to time. Although, if I can choose, I prefer to sleep in my own bed. “
So Derksen will work seven days a week at the age of 72. That sounds intensive, but the analyst himself thinks Veronica Inside it was not too bad. “We shouldn’t pretend it’s work. There are road workers working in front of my house … That’s tough. You don’t have to feel sorry for me. I haven’t had to work a day in 72 years.”
The men from Veronica Inside have been at odds with each other more than once in recent years. During the 2014 World Cup, when the men also made a daily program, an argument between Derksen and Van der Gijp ran so high that the two did not speak to each other for a while. However, Derksen does not seem too concerned about new tensions among themselves, when the three of them will be on each other’s lips for two months next summer.
“We didn’t talk about that, but we never talked about anything outside of the broadcasts anyway,” says Derksen. “Well, it is possible that we will indeed have another incident. That is still possible, I think, after all that we have already been through. I just hope that we will deal with it a bit mature.”
