entertainment">In conversation with Veronica Superguide about the sustainability of his TV career, among other things, Beau says that he at least wants to disappear from the tube before others decide that for him. “I stop when the ideas have dried up, or when I decide I’m just going to write. Well, or if I have no other choice. Because imagine if I shout something terrible and get canceled. That opportunity exists with me, because I sometimes say clumsy things.”
“If the NPO had put Kockelmann at Op1 five days a week, they would have made it even more difficult for us”
entertainment">Not such a bad idea, he thinks. “Actually, I would love that: a great opportunity to build something new somewhere else. Writing books, working in a cafe, there are many things I would like to do.”
Kees van Kooten
entertainment">The presenter intends to continue to say what he thinks in the future. “But it makes no sense to pretend to be someone else, because people just like to look at me: that cockroach from Bloemendaal with his weird antics.”
entertainment">When Beau ever stops making television, he likes to take an example of how Kees van Kooten after the TV program Van Kooten and De Bie disappeared from the spotlight. “I don’t know how much longer I will continue with television, but I want to stop before I have to be told that I am no longer needed. There are some older TV people who are desperately trying to stay in the picture. Then show me how Kees van Kooten did it: he left himself and was never again tempted to come back.”
Competition
entertainment">Finally, Beau is aware of the ever-expanding talk show landscape, in which, for example, VI Today, which will be shown on SBS6 from January, will take up a place. “And don’t forget Arjen Lubach’s new program on NPO 1, which will be fierce competition. Both Lubach and Derksen and his colleagues are just Eredivisie level. We are lucky that everything at the NPO has to be so diverse. Because if they join Sven Kockelmann five days a week On 1 I think they would have made it even more difficult for us. ”
