This year, Yvon Jaspers has been presenting ‘Farmer Seeks Woman’ for twenty years. Many are wondering if it isn’t time to trade her in for someone else? Farmer Geert is very firm in his opinion: “No, then maybe people won’t watch anymore. Yvon Jaspers is perfect for ‘Farmer Seeks Woman’. She’s doing fantastic.
Yvon Jaspers is sweeter and more fun than everyone thinks
“A few years ago, Yvon Jaspers presented ‘Hello Goodbye’ with Joris Linssen for a while and that was nothing. Only Joris Linssen is suitable for having a chat at Schiphol with people who are going on holiday or picking up a loved one. He was also the best interviewer for ‘Taxi’, which he used to present. That’s Yvon for ‘Farmer Seeks Woman’. People often ask me what she is like. I can only answer that Yvon is sweeter and nicer than everyone thinks.”
Yvon Jaspers has to hold a mirror up to farmers
Yvon can also ask anything about farmer Geert: “Yes, because you know what it is: there are so many farmers who don’t dare to look at a girl. I also notice this in my immediate environment. I know a lot of young boys who are all still single. That’s why I think Yvon can put his finger on the sore spot. I think the life of many farmers is that they never go to a café where they can meet a girl. During the day they take care of the cows, in the evening their mother makes dinner and when that is finished, they watch television. Because Yvon asks about this and makes it a topic of discussion, you hold up a mirror and the young farmers in particular might wake up.”
