Freek de Jonge: ‘Martijn Koning’s performance stale, but RTL apologies childish’ | Entertainment

entertainment">Baudet got so angry with the harsh jokes about his Jewish girlfriend that he walked away from the table. RTL and Jinek stated on Friday that King had crossed a line. “You ask a comedian to do his thing, and he does it his way,” said the 76-year-old comedian. He calls it “now almost a cliché that Baudet runs away during a broadcast to impress.” Earlier, the foreman of Forum for Democracy also did this with With a view to tomorrow and De Vooravond.

entertainment">De Jonge also found Koning’s performance „not tasteful and not very funny. I never had to laugh very much, although I don’t know whether that should be a criterion. But it is a bit unsavory to mention the appearance of Baudet, even if you can say: he started it himself. I would have done it differently. ”

entertainment">At the same time, according to De Jonge, the tone of the roast is characteristic of the way in which politics has hardened in his eyes in recent years. “There is no more perspective, there is no more subtlety. There must be room for humanity. ”

entertainment">De Jonge will host his sixth election conference, De Loterij, on NPO2 on Saturday evening. The comedian gives a lecture on constitutional law and reflects on what he sees as an unpleasant Dutch mentality that has been exposed by the corona crisis.
