RTL Personality Faces Calls to Shift โFocus From Talk Shows
Amsterdam, Netherlands – Beau van Erven Dorens, a prominent figureโ on Dutch television, is facing increasing scrutiny regardingโ his performance as a talk show host, with some industry observers suggesting a move towards other formats would be beneficial. The discussion comes as RTL 4 preparesโข toโข rotate presenters for its new โขtalk show, RTL Tonight, with van Erven Dorens โslated โฃfor โthe โfinal month of initial programmingโข alongside Humberto Tan and Renze Klamer.
Jordi Versteegden, a reporter forโ De Telegraaf, โคpublicly questioned van Erven โDorens’ currentโ strength in theโค talk show arena. “I’veโค just been noticing โmyself โฃfor a whileโฆthat I don’t find him so strong in a talk show anymore,” Versteegden stated in a video posted on the Telegraaf website.โ This assessment fuels speculation โฃabout โRTL’s long-term plans for van Erven Dorens,โข especiallyโ with the recent permanent placement of Leonie ter Braak alongside him.
Theโค debateโ centers on whether van Erven Dorens’ extensive workload isโ impacting the quality of his talk show appearances. Versteegden suggests the presenter may privately desire a reduced role. “Who knows that will happen.โข I think Beau himself is gradually having something: well, a little less talk show. he doesn’t dareโค to admit that, precisely because heโ likes to keep doing everything,โข but you just noticeโฃ that with him occasionally,” Versteegden explained.
Critics point to van Erven โDorens’ success with socially-focused programs like Beau Five Days Inside as evidence of his strengths. โThe program, conceived by โvan Erven Dorens, immersesโฃ him within various institutions, and he isโข currently filming a segment at the Antoniโ van Leeuwenhoek Hospital. Presenter Karlijn Bernoster echoed the sentiment, questioning if pairing vanโค Erven Dorens with ter Braak is aโฃ solution.
“Beau is doingโ very well: standing โin โฃsociety and feeling what is โreally going on,” one observer commented, expressing hope for more projects in that vein. Versteegden concluded, โ”I would say: Beau, just do what you are really good at. My opinion.”
