huge uproar after the ‘humiliation’ of André van Duin

André van Duin visited Eva Jinek‘s talk show on Wednesday night. The actor and presenter looked back on his sixty year career, among other things (see video) and she sang a song about herself. Gijs Groenteman and Marcel van Roosmalen said on Monday in Van Roosmalen & Groenteman that they had to laugh about the performance and that they are now receiving a lot of criticism as a result.

“Last Thursday was the Televizier-Ring Gala evening, and Wednesday night André van Duin sat with Eva Jinek,” said Marcel van Roosmalen. “André van Duin received the Circle of Oeuvre, more than he deserved, because the man has had a career of sixty years. He was an icon, and Eva thought so too .”

He continues: “She had invited three famous Dutch women: Caroline Tensen, Gerdi Verbeet and Olga Zuiderhoek. They are all fans of André van Duin. They sat there talking about it and of course André has a special position in Dutch. To be honest, there is no one who can sing a song about themselves in a talk show and have everyone moved by it.

“It’s enough to put someone on a pedestal, isn’t it?” Gijs wonders after watching André’s performance. They laughed a lot at the clip while he was singing. “Sit the Marcel said: “I’ve never seen this on Dutch TV.”

Comments

Viewers of the program on social media said they were angry and did not agree with the statements. “André van Duin is loved by almost everyone, but at Van Roosmalen & Groenteman they made fun of the popular comedian for 4 minutes. Marcel accused him of narcissism, Gijs told him that he sang badly. It is condescending. canal belt company,” wrote Victor Vlam on X.

Someone else responds with: “Andre van Duin narcissistic? Are they out of their depth? He is the last person who can be accused of narcissism.”
