De Wereld Draait Door



De Wereld Draait Door is a live talk show done at studio Zuiveringshal Oost on the Cultuurpark Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. It is produced by Ewart van der Horst for the Vara on NPO1. Presentation is done by Matthijs van Nieuwkerk (Always dressed in a black or dark blue suite) and it contsence is with varriable guests being intervieuwed, news, media and music in a fast and modern concept, from October 10th, 2005 on. Band's that play their new songs or music get 1 minute presentation. In the many years it's influence is big for upcomming guest or programms, that are being intervieuwd or have a chance to perform, for their upcomming carreer in The Netherlands.

Many pioneering television is made in this program, like Recordings, where several famous Singers performed their insperations on the American Recordings of Johnny Cash.

The concept of the show is mainly the same each day, but varies each year. Matthijs presents the show with a co-host that change each day but mainly some personalities do have their own day for that year.

In the history of the show, may revealing and important intervieuws where held regarding the Muppets or specificly Sesamstraat and it's actors. Even the Muppets from the show them self got their intervieuw on another show debute.

Regarding an voice actor comes on the show, or an casuall actor. Almost everytime their connection to Sesamstraat is briefly asked about. Voice actor Paul Haenen gets his own time as his character Dominee Gremdaat. As a colourfull pastor he gives his thoughts about the news and acasually he mentions his likeness in voice with Bert (and briefly does his laugh). It all starten too losen with his character when he was confronted by Britt Dekker in a live apperence, where she interepted him to ask him about his Sesamstraat character.

The familie show also had some mayor shocking advences. Like one time the Dutch lawyer, colomnist, actor radio and television producer, 'Prem Radhakishun' gave the show embarrassment. Several times he used the programm to give his opinion in rather rude ways about people and even told out of the blue the truth about Sinterklaas, because of the social question about Black Pete. His opinion was loud and clear but left many parents and small childeren upset by saying he wasn't real.

Also the commedian ''Peter Pannekoek' made several jokes and comedain scetches about Sesamtraat or it's habitants.

Also the recent sub programm 'Lucky TV' made some parodies at the end of the show. Lucky TV takes news or videomaterial and recuts the film or redubs the voices or sounds. One of the best know is one of the habitants actors talking to Pino, Tommie and Ieniemienie. But insted of them tlaking back, the characters voices are animal sounds. 

Another internal sub programm was de Jakhalzen, one of the makers visited Toots Thielemans to intervieuw him on the Jazz Master Award 2009.
