robert ten brink (68) maalt niet om aflopende tv-carrière: 'heb jarenlang in de spits gespeeld'

Robert ten Brink

Robert ten Brink heeft er geen enkel probleem mee dat hij steeds minder vaak te zien is op de televisie. ”Jarenlang heb ik in de spits gespeeld, nu doe ik steeds een stapje terug.” Dat vertelt inmiddels 68-jarige presentator in Het Parool.

“Ik hoef niet meer te voldoen aan de harde eis van vijf formats per jaar”, vervolgt Ten Brink. “Namen zal ik niet noemen, maar er zijn collega’s die moeite hebben met het afscheid. Ik heb daar geen last van. Als het is afgelopen ga ik door met mijn echte leven.” Zondag maakt Robert ten Brink zijn opwachting in de kerstspecial van All You Need Is Love. Ondanks dat het programma al 31 jaar draait, blijft de presentator enthousiast en heeft hij er nog steeds geen genoeg van. “Nee, het blijft hartstikke leuk”, zegt de presentator die ook wel als ‘Dr. Love’ bekendstaat. “We maken het iedere keer met dezelfde mensen. Het is ons jaarlijkse feestje.”

Robert ten Brink

Robert ten Brink is een Nederlandse presentator die eigenlijk bijna iedereen wel kent. Ten Brink werd op 20 oktober 1955 geboren in Amsterdam. In 1979 begon hij bij de KRO als radio-dj. Een paar jaar later, in 1981, maakte hij de overstap naar de televisie. Zo presenteerde hij onder andere het Jeugdjournaal bij de NOS, wat uiteindelijk ook zijn grote doorbraak werd. In 1989 werd hij de eerste presentator van het programma Lingo. In 1992 maakte ten Brink de transfer naar Veronica. Hier begon hij met het zeer succesvolle All You Need Is Love te presenteren. Dit programma maakt hij inmiddels al 31 jaar. Al wisselde hij soms van zender af.
