René van der Gijp: Leaves Today Inside

René van der Gijp is already appearing less often than before in Today Inside and it seems that he will soon call it a day.

René van der Gijp’s farewell at Today Inside coming?

Van der Gijp has had Wednesday evenings off for a while now, on his own initiative, and then he doesn’t even watch the show: “No, I usually go out for dinner with my wife. Just have a nice bite to eat. When I get home, I call my son. Then I say: Barcelona-Inter. Then he says: look back. And then I watch it again and I pass up Today Inside. If Nicky says: don’t look back, then I watch the summary. Then I watch it for a while. piece from Today Inside. On Wednesday I go to dinner with Rob (Jansen, ed.) in The Hague. When I get home I say to the little one: PSG-Arsenal. Then he says: no, I’ll only watch the first half.

Recently, the former footballer’s partner, Minouche, was already at the center of a ‘VI riot’, and in general Gibe it is simply less to his liking: “We just make a nice program, we are good at that. When we do our thing, it is just a great program. Now also… Johan and Wilfred are now in their own dressing rooms, they no longer talk to each other at all. We no longer talk outside the table. At first we walked to the table talking and it was nice. Now it has become something that I sometimes think: it is not necessary…”

“That just sucks”

Moreover, he thinks that things are not going in the right direction with Today Inside. Last Monday he wanted to discuss the incident between Wouter Goes and Danny Makkelie, but at such a moment the editors now expect a ‘script’ from him: “I think that’s shit, just sucks. This never used to be the case, but now it is. So all of that is now included in the script. It is now even the case that Johan Derksen knows what I am going to say. He knows what I am going to say about Makkelie and Goes.”

“Sometimes Johan starts talking about it himself, because he knows what I’m going to say. I think that sucks. That just sucks, because I prefer that he just responds to me spontaneously. Monday evening too, then I want to say something about RTL Tonight and then they ask what I’m going to say about it before the broadcast. That was never the case in the past, but now it is. So all of this is included in the script,” says Van der Gijp in the podcast. KieftJansenEgmondGijp. It does not appear that he will renew again with Today Inside, but that it will be over after the current end date of his contract.
