In Shownieuws on TV channel SBS6, Pierre Kartner heavily critisised Cornald Maas, one of the two Dutch commentators for the Eurovision Song Contest. He was openly doubting wether he should be allowed to join the Dutch team in Oslo, because Maas expressed negative thoughts about the Dutch Eurovision entry.

He was guest in RTL Boulevard, like SBS Shownieuws a popular show about Dutch and international showbizz news.
