The future of the popular Dutch television program “Today Inside” is a topic of increasing speculation, particularly concerning the eventual replacement of Johan Derksen, a prominent figure on the show. While Derksen’s presence has been a cornerstone of the program, the reality is that too Johan Derksen has a expiration date. The question of who might succeed him is generating considerable buzz.

Potential Successors and Internal Views

One name that has surfaced in discussions is Yvonne Coldeweijer, a media personality known for her “juice” or gossip reporting. Some have even suggested she could be the female Johan derksen. However,Derksen himself seems skeptical about this possibility.

Derksen addressed the succession issue on his podcast, noting that Wilfred Genee, another figure associated with “Today Inside,” might be open to the idea of Coldeweijer joining the team, stating: Wilfred is also someone who thinks very commercially as long as it is not about his family.

Derksen’s Viewpoint on the Future of “Today Inside”

Derksen expressed his views on the potential direction of the program and his reservations about Coldeweijer as a successor.He stated:

Now it doesn’t interest me who follows me at all, because then you are gone, but I see in coldemeijer (Coldeweijer, ed.) Not my successor. And I don’t believe that VI, what we have built up in a lot of fun and a lot of ordinary things, that now has to change that, that now that we have a lot of ordinary things, that. The whole of the Netherlands who is outside the door.
Johan Derksen

He emphasizes the importance of maintaining the show’s established character and appeal to a broad audience.

concerns About “Juice” Journalism

Derksen voiced his concerns about the nature of Coldeweijer’s reporting,particularly its focus on personal lives. He drew a distinction between critical analysis and what he considers intrusive gossip:

I find people critically approaching something different then Juice, because what a lady of the TV in her private life would do me a sausage, and if the OM does not consider it punishable, I don’t think the Mrs. Coldemeijer should judge that as a kind of pseud or court.
Johan Derksen

He suggests that personal matters should not be subject to public judgment unless thay involve legal issues.

Criticism of Media Practices

Derksen also criticized the media landscape, particularly regarding the exploitation of personal information for entertainment. he referenced the De Mol family, who have been frequent targets of gossip reporting:

Ls well one family in the Netherlands has been under fire with this kind of juice figures, it was the De Mol family. Johnny, the old John, the sister, the niece, all. So he wants a channel like Net5 a bit of a bit and then I find that girl, he pays her too. Had stopped, because I find all those juice broadcasts offensive and a violation of privacy.
Johan Derksen

He finds it hypocritical for media outlets to both suffer from and promote such content.
