1983 - 2018: 35 years of Patty Brard on the small screen



Patty Brard will always be remembered as a former member of LUV' but the public also knows her as a TV personality. Thirty-five years ago exactly, on January 25th, 1983, the diva made her TV debut as a co-host of the Candid Camera-like show "Bananasplit" with Ralf Inbar on TROS/Nederland 1. The program was a huge success in Holland and Belgium and some episodes peaked at seven million viewers!!!

On February 7th, 8th and 9th 1985, Patty presented with Pippo Baudo the "Sanremo Music Festival" which attracted 15 to 20 million viewers on RAI Uno in Italy. At that time, she was married to Carlo Nasi (a Los Angeles-based music publisher and record producer as well as one of the heirs to the FIAT empire). Because of her connections with the influential Nasi-Agnelli family and the composer and lyricist Alberto Testa, Miss Brard (who was unknown in Italy) had the privilege to host this legendary music show. Her appearance on a high-rated TV program was part of the strategy to organize her breakthrough in Dante's country. The ex-Luv' lady did not achieve her goal. Shortly after the festival, she didn't build a career in Italy.

September 1989 saw her return 
on television with the hidden camera show "Gaan met die banaan" on the first commercial channel created in Holland: "RTL Veronique" (currently RTL 4).

La Brard's participation in 
SBS 6's celebrity diving competition "Sterren Springen op Zaterdag" caused a sensation in late August 2012 and put her in the limelight again. Her failed dive was used as a publicity stunt to promote "Celebrity Splash" (the international name of "Sterren Springen") and to sell the format to 25 TV networks around the world.







January 2013 saw Patty's comeback on "Shownieuws" as a showbiz expert. At that time, the diva worked as a freelance TV host for RTL 5 (on reality shows "Wie is de Reisleider?", "Echte Meisjes op de Prairie" and "Lust, Liefde Of Laten Lopen") and SBS 6 (on "Shownieuws" and as a judge on the ski jumping competition "Vliegende Hollanders: Sterren van de Schans"). 





From late August 2013 to late August 2017, Patty had an exclusive contract with SBS 6. In addition to the popular "Shownieuws", she scored a string of hits and flops on the channel:
  • Show Vandaag (2013-2014) - infotainment program
  • Bonje Met de Buren (2014–2016) - a reality show hosted with Jochem van Gelder to solve problems between neighbours
  • Patty's Big Fat Ibiza Wedding (2014) - a reality show which showed the preparations for her wedding with Dutch architect Antoine van de Vijver
  • Mindmasters Live (2015) - paranormal show featuring Uri Geller and Patty as a panellist

  • Mud Masters VIP (2016) - challenging obstacle course based on military training with celebrities
  • SBS Sterren Surprise (2016) - a Christmas program featuring TV personalities who fulfilled the dreams of people
  • Stem van Nederland (2017) - a political program related to the general elections in the Netherlands
Since her departure from SBS 6 in September 2017, Patty has been involved in one-off TV projects: "Chantal Blijft Slapen" (with Chantal Janzen) broadcast on November 9th, 2017
on RTL 4, "Oh, Wat Een Jaar!" (hosted by Linda de Mol and broadcast on December 2nd, 2017 on RTL 4), "Celebrity City Trip" (with Dave Roelvink) broadcast on December 19th, 2017 on RTL 5 and "Vier Handen Op Eén Buik" that aired on January 23rd, 2018 on BNNVARA/NPO 3.  

Earlier this month, the larger than life TV personality took part in the taping of "Tattoo Trippers" on Veronica (featuring celebrities who travel to a foreign country in order to be tattooed) and Linda de Mol's game show "Weet Ik Wel" on RTL 4

Whether you like her or not, you have to admit the longevity of Patty Brard's TV career.
