SBS6's entertainment news program Shownieuws is currently the only TV project which keeps Patty Brard active regularly on television.

"I laughed terribly because the phone rang and I saw 'John de Mol' on the screen. I thought: oh no! And then I realized: oh no, it's Johnny de Mol! So I picked up.  He knew we were going to announce his talk show here today, and he was pretty nervous about what we were going to say. What a sweetheart!" Patty said. 

The diva praised Johnny. "He's very curious and always wants to surprise people. He's always surrounded by top teams. He has also been coached by Jeroen Pauw for a while, and that is the best thing that has happened to him," she told. 

"Some people say: "He's Johnny de Mol, so his father helps him". Well, if he's not good, he is immediately criticized. Father and son are well prepared. I'm very confident. 7.30 pm is a perfect time slot for a talk show," she added. 

On the August 20th broadcast of Shownieuws (394.000 viewers/market show: 16.6%), the Prima Donna mentioned Dutch weight loss consultant and writer Sonja Bakker accused of plagiarism by RTL Boulevard. This revelation caused a sensation in the Netherlands. "I tried to call her earlier today, and, strangely, she didn't pick up the phone. Usually, we talk easily. I think she's in panic," Patty explained.

On yesterday's broadcast (384.000 viewers/market share: 17.1%), Miss Brard defended Christina Curry (Patricia Paay's daughter).  Recently, Christina shocked viewers when she cursed a lot and lost self-control on SBS6's celebrity competition "De Alleskunner VIPS". "This is quite intense. She just got death threats. One of them said: 'Commit suicide.' This girl is too sensitive. She's been through a lot of things. Maybe she shouldn't participate in these kinds of competitions," Patty said.
