Albert Verlinde will become a regular commentator on the new talk show RTL tonight. The 64-year-old musical producer must therefore stop his temporary job at Vandaag Inside, where he replaced René van der Gijp on Wednesdays.
The new late-night program from RTL 4 will start on August 31. In the daily talk show, presenters Beau van Erven Dorens, Renze Klamer, and Humberto Tan will update viewers on everything happening in the world.
The presenters, who rotate each month, will be reinforced by a permanent team of commentators. In addition to Verlinde, these include Ahmed Aboutaleb, Saskia Belleman, Anna Gimbrère, Thomas Erdbrink, Gijs Rademaker, Michiel Vos, Josine Droogendijk, Geert Jan Hahn, Raounak Khaddari, and Simon van Teutem.
“We are proud that these names are associated with the program,” says RTL boss Peter van der Vorst in a statement. “They are each perfectly able to provide context to current events from their own expertise. In addition to our regular commentators, there will of course also be room for the guest of the day.”
