Career

[edit]

Witteman presented eight seasons of the television show Podium Witteman, a show about classical music.[1][2] Dieuwertje Blok and Floris Kortie succeeded him as presenters of the show and the show was renamed to Podium Klassiek.[3][4]

Witteman is known for presenting the debate television show Het Lagerhuis with Marcel van Dam.[5] He is also known for co-presenting both the interview show Woestijnruiters and the talk show Pauw & Witteman with Jeroen Pauw.[6] He was one of the presenters of the political interview television show Buitenhof.[7][8] He decided to stop presenting the show as both Buitenhof and Podium Witteman were filmed live on Sunday afternoon and this was difficult to combine.[8][9] Journalist Hugo Logtenberg succeeded him as presenter of Buitenhof.[8][9] Witteman also presented multiple seasons of the show De Meesterwerken, a show about art and culture.[10][11]

Witteman was head of the jury for the 2014 Libris Literatuur Prijs, an annual award for Dutch-language novels.[12][13] In 2018, he presented the two-part television series Uit Coma about people who awoke from a coma and about developments in the field of studying comas.[8][14]

Witteman won the Ere Zilveren Nipkowschijf award for his entire oeuvre in 2022.[15][16]
