De Slimste Mens ter Wereld

De Slimste Mens ter Wereld

Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

Enquêtebureau

Enquêtebureau

Do you pee in the shower? Have you ever cheated on an exam? What is your favorite deep-fried snack? And do you prefer wine over beer? Not too serious topics, but we can still discuss them for hours. We will find out Flanders' answers to these and many more questions in the brand new humorous panel show Enquêtebureau with host Steven Van Herreweghe. Two teams of three well-known Flemish people compete against each other with the aim of testing their knowledge about the behavior and habits of the Flemish. In the meantime, the BVs themselves expose their souls in witty and often surprising anecdotes and revelations. The result: a panel show that holds up a mirror to the viewer at home. Because what's more fun than having a good laugh at ourselves?

Xander De Rycke: Houdt Het Voor Bekeken X

Xander De Rycke: Houdt Het Voor Bekeken X

Nearly a decade ago, Xander De Rycke took to the stage armed with nothing more than a dozen pages of jokes and a slideshow filled with screenshots. What began as a small internet show grew, thanks to a loyal fanbase, into a phenomenon that managed to fill nine Lotto Arenas. Today, the show is known as the most spectacular end-of-year comedy conference in Flanders. In 2025, that success reaches its peak in the country’s largest venue: the AFAS Dome in Antwerp. Not just the 2025 edition of ‘Houdt het voor bekeken’, but a true celebration of everything that has made ten years of #HHVB what it is. Expect a barrage of sharp jokes, affectionate nods to past shows, and of course contributions from both friends and “frenemies”.
