Career

Spijkerman moved from VARA to Talpa in 2005 and he presented the show Koppensnellers, a show similar to Kopspijkers, but less successful. [4] [7] In an interview he later stated that he should have created a new television show rather than a copy of a previous television format. [3] His move from a public broadcaster to a commercial broadcaster was criticised as being motivated by money and has since been referred to as the Spijkerman-effect. [8] In 2025, when Arjen Lubach moved from public broadcasting channel NPO 1 to the commercial channel RTL 4, Spijkerman appeared in a promotional video to help Lubach as coach. [9] [10]

Spijkerman became a presenter for RTL Nederland in 2009. [11] [12] He presented the game shows Wat vindt Nederland? and Echt Waar?! . [12] [13] He also presented the association football quiz show Koning Voetbal. [14] [15] Viggo Waas and Johnny de Mol were the team captains in the show. [16] Spijkerman retired from television in 2016, after three decades of television making. [6] He presented a single episode of the show Kopspijkers, titled DWDD Heimwee: Kopspijkers, in 2019. [4] [17] After his retirement, he became active doing work for the archives of association football club Ajax. [3]
