According to Johan Derksen, the fact that Marcel van Roosmalen and Gijs Groenteman return to BNNVARA after a summer internship at Talpa is the best for everyone. The figurehead of Today Inside thinks that the two will not be missed at SBS 6.
Van Roosmalen and Groenteman could be seen this summer with their own talk show Marcel & Gijs for four weeks at the time of Today Inside. The Oranjezomer, the other replacement for Wilfred Genee, René van der Gijp and Derksen, scored much better ratings.

Bee Show news Derksen is asked whether the departure of Van Roosmalen and Groenteman is a loss for SBS 6. “Well, no. I think the boys have done very well, but they are not boys who attract the general public. The people who go to those two watch, love that type of humor. That is more VPRO and VARA humor. Hélène splashes off the screen and that is really a Talpa star.”
The Orange Summer quickly made Marcel & Gijs forget. “She really delivered a world achievement, because she attracted 900,000 viewers in six weeks. It took us twenty years to do that,” says Derksen. “I wish Hélène well. We already knew how good she was, because she is with us every Friday evening and then it runs like a train. You should also give a pat on the back to the editors, who have provided very good weekly guests. Fidan Ekiz and Jeroen Pauw are great for a talk show host. Then it goes by itself.”
