Thanks for pointing that out. It's a good thing we have Dutch speakers here. :D

Jillis appeared in the Dutch tv-show 'Shownieuws' talking about his upcoming departure: http://www.show.nl/video/afleveringen/2 ... te-editie/. His bit starts around 20.45. It is once again confirmed he is leaving the 28th because of his size and his broken voice. Jillis himself adds that although he could see himself play Billy a bit longer, he agrees that he is just getting too old. He also states that he is glad that he has been able to experience this even though he already was a bit bigger when he started playing Billy.

That link doesn't seem to work outside the Netherlands. But I think I found it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CweZ0me0atc

Jillis had his final show this afternoon, and it was another great show! We'll miss him!

Small news item about Jillis' departure: http://www.telegraaf.nl/tv/uitgaan/2375 ... ent__.html
He met with two soloists of the Dutch National Ballet and talked about his future and how he'd like to end up like them.

This interview (?) popped up: I do not understand a word, (it translates as 'Paul's Adolescent Cook Show') but I think I have discovered a tv 'show' host as improbable as Mel and Sue:

Paul de Leeuw is actually one of Holland's most successful tv-show hosts of all time. He has produced and presented some amazing tv shows and is generally well-respected (although I must admit the concept of this new show is quite interesting). He talked about how he saw Jillis perform as Billy and was so impressed by him that once he heard that Jillis had his final performance he wanted him to be on his show to talk about the experience.

Thank you for that. But what is the unique aspect of this show?

It is a cooking show which centers around adolescents, so it's basically Paul inviting adolescents who have done something interesting or unique to come on this show and they all cook meals together. The 'aim' of the show is to get more insight in the lives of teenagers I guess. It's an interesting concept but perhaps also a bit random (what does the cooking aspect really add?).
