“Then you hear all those editors all the time saying: how can we involve René. We also have to give René a bit of the ball”, said Schimmelpenninck.

“I have that maybe three times in a week. So I sit there twice a week and then I have nothing. Then the editors hope that I can have a say in the things that Johan (Derksen, ed.) or the guest has stated. If they then ask Schimmelpenninck to bring something that René can also talk about, that’s not surprising, because I didn’t deliver anything. Then you join in. It always works out, even if you sit there and you had nothing.”
“Schimmelpenninck started calling our audience stupid right. What’s the point? I thought that was a bit crazy. You are not going to insult our people, are you?” Van der Gijp concludes.
