Notable stunts

Pharaoh of the Netherlands (2015)

Arjen Lubach is a strong opponent of the monarchy of the Netherlands.^[5] Out of protest against the monarchy, he came up with a citizens initiative, in which he crowned himself "Pharaoh of the Netherlands", which, like 'King' is also a hereditary title. At the time of the airing of the show in which he introduced his initiative, it was 200 years since William I proclaimed himself a King of the Netherlands. For the citizens initiative Lubach needed a minimum of 40.000 endorsements, which he obtained while he was a guest at the Dutch talk show De Wereld Draait Door. With the minimum of 40.000 endorsements, the House of Representatives was obliged to talk about the initiative.^[6][7]

Donald Trump video (2017)

On 10 June 2016 Zondag met Lubach won the Zilveren Nipkowschijf.^[23] The winner of the prize is chosen by a jury consisting out of newspapers and magazines television critics. The year before, Zondag met Lubach received an honorable mention by the jury ^[24]

Gouden Televizier-Ring (2017)

Best Television show

During the Televizier-Ring Gala on 11 October 2017, Zondag met Lubach was awarded the Gouden Televizier-Ring (Golden television ring) for "Best television program".^[25] Zondag met Lubach got a plurality of the vote with 47%. During the airing of the award show people could vote for one of the three nominees for "Best television program". The two other nominees were Beste Zangers and Expeditie Robinson. Arjen Lubach started off his acceptance speech with saying "Wat ontzettend terecht", meaning "How very much deserved" (meant as a joke).^[25] Furthermore, he praised the rest of his team and acknowledged their importance. This was the first time that a vpro-program won the prize.^[26] To get people to vote for Zondag met Lubach during the show, Arjen Lubach had an advert placed on the Ziggo Dome. In this advert the presenters of Beste zangers and Expeditie Robinson were urging people to vote for Zondag met Lubach. Lubach later thanked the presenters. This initially angered some people, because they thought that the advert was paid for with tax money. However, Lubach later said that this was not the case, but that he knew a few people who could get this done.^[27]

Best actor

To gain the attention of his viewers about the nomination for best actor, Lubach talked about it on his show, however he didn't talk about his own nomination. Instead, he talked about Erik de Vogel, who got nominated in the category for best actor. He requested people to vote for De Vogel, together with a catchphrase "Ludo verdient een kudo" meaning Ludo (name of the actor's role in Goede tijden, slechte tijden) deserves kudos.^[28] De Vogel did however not win the award, as it was given to Jeroen van Koningsbrugge instead.^[29]
