Arjen Lubach in last broadcast: ‘A bad year, but we are almost there’

“We are unlucky with the government and bad with the pandemic,” Lubach said last night. “But giving up now makes everything worse. So quit those house parties!”

Stop highlight

Last year Lubach announced that he was quitting because he ‘wants to stop at the peak‘. The program ‘Zondag met Lubach’ has existed since 2014 and has become one of the big audience hits of public broadcasting in recent years.


Lubach won the Golden Televizier Ring in 2017. In addition, he often had success with YouTube videos and songs. Earlier this month, the presenter scored a hit with a rap; ‘Do not go to Nieuwsuur’. The song was listened to and viewed hundreds of thousands of times online.


In the last episode Lubach came out of the program yesterday with a recipe for sugar bread and told a fairy tale about CDA MP Pieter Omtzigt.

‘Arjen Lubach, function elsewhere’

There are varying reactions on social media at the end of the program. “Arjen Lubach, position elsewhere” someone writes. “It is great if you have built such a successful formula and dare to leave it behind while it is still far from being worked out,” says another.

Arjen Lubach can look back on a well-watched closing season. His broadcasts attracted about 1.5 million viewers every week.
