Last year, Peter Pannekoek hosted the NGO’s New Year’s Conference. At the time, nearly 2 million people watched it. Herman Finkers had the best rating in 2015 with around 3 million viewers and Marc-Marie Huijbregts managed to captivate the least amount of people in 2018 with almost 1.5 million.
Weijers was actually supposed to deliver the RTL conference last year, but withdrew due to corona measures. A year earlier, an estimated 1.3 million people watched his show.
It was the third time De Breij, 47, had provided the New Year’s conference for the non-profit organization. She did it in 2016 and 2019. The comedian said, among other things, that she herself has never had to deal with transgressive behavior at The world goes on, where he often joined. She also cited other examples of celebrities who made headlines last year due to misconduct, such as Lil Kleine and Glennis Grace, among others. Prime Minister Mark Rutte and John, Linda and Johnny de Mol also passed.
For 45-year-old Weijers, it was his 11th New Year’s lecture. “It’s a great honor not to be a one-hit wonder. I count my blessings to have been able to practice this profession for twenty years. At the same time, you’re as good as the last show you do, so I’m constantly trying to develop myself,” the comedian said beforehand against the news agency ANP extension. The energy crisis, nitrogen and farmers’ protests, The voice and the World Cup in Qatar passed in its conference.
