Perspective
Spijkerman is known for presenting the radio programme Spijkers met koppen and the satirical television show Kopspijkers.[2] The show Kopspijkers won the 2002 Gouden Televizier-Ring award.[1][3] He also won the Zilveren Televizier-ster award himself in 2003.[4] Spijkerman moved from VARA to Talpa in 2005 and he presented the show Koppensnellers, a show similar to Kopspijkers, but less successful.[2][5] 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.[6] 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.[7][8]
Spijkerman became a presenter for RTL Nederland in 2009.[9][10] He presented the game shows Wat vindt Nederland? and Echt Waar?!.[10][11] He also presented the association football quiz show Koning Voetbal.[12][13] Viggo Waas and Johnny de Mol were the team captains in the show.[14] Spijkerman retired from television in 2016, after three decades of television making.[4] He presented a single episode of the show Kopspijkers, titled DWDD Heimwee: Kopspijkers, in 2019.[2][15]
He was interviewed by Jeroen Pauw in a 2009 episode of the show 5 jaar later.[16]
