Arjen Lubach: This season of ZML will be the last | TV

entertainment">Lubach previously announced that it would soon end its successful VPRO program. But until now he has not mentioned a specific term.

entertainment">“Yes, this will be the last for the time being,” he confirms in the conversation with NOS Stories. “You know, I am never inclined to think beyond a few months. And I find it very difficult to say things definitively. But it seems so. ”

entertainment">An important reason for his decision is that the writer wants to quit the program at the peak. In his book Jammer, which was released a few weeks ago, the comedian states that he does not want to stop doing comedy on television.

Millions of viewers

entertainment">“I don’t want to stop television either,” he adds. “But I think that the current form, that half hour a week in which – in addition to a few current events – one major theme is central, is reaching its limits. Not because we couldn’t do it anymore, but because everything you bring in that form (man in suit behind desk imitates newsreader and gets excited with jokes), gets the same weight. ”

entertainment">The program Sunday with Lubach started in 2014. Lubach and his team won the Televizier Ring in 2017. ZML has turned out to be one of the big ratings hits of the NPO in recent years. In the spring, the program continuously raged against 2 million viewers.
