He and 'Goedele Liekens' both were in the running to present _"Zwakste schakel, De" (2001)_,
the Belgian version of
The Weakest Link (2000), but the producers decided the show had
to be presented by a woman, because viewers wouldn't accept a man being
so rude against the candidates. That's why
Goedele Liekens got the part instead
of
Dirk Abrams. Abrams told in an interview that he regretted it, because
he had always been a great fan of
The Weakest Link (2000).
