The chat, conducted at a large table, was hosted by Matthijs van Nieuwkerk and a rotating guest co-host. Guests were politicians, celebrities, artists, or simply people involved in projects or organizations that were topics of interest. The show contained a mixture of news, information, television bloopers and general entertainment. Frequent guests and panelists included Jan Mulder, Yvon Jaspers, Halina Reijn, Giel Beelen, Mathijs Bouman, Sylvana Simons, Marc-Marie Huijbregts and André van Duin.[1] House poet Nico Dijkshoorn had a weekly column in the show, usually on Wednesday. Each show had a live performance of a band in the studio. The show's closing sequence was Lucky TV, a small movie clip that featured a parody of news with changed voice-over text added to the video. One of those ending clips, where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were singing a duet during a presidential debate, became a viral phenomenon.[2] From 2014, Dutch Eurovision Song Contest entries were premiered on the show.
