After his football career had ended, Mulder became a well-known writer, columnist and television-personality in the Netherlands, making his debut analysing a match of the Netherlands national football team broadcast by TV channel
RTL 4 in 1996. From that point onwards he would frequently guest star in the RTL 4 shows by
Frits Barend and
Henk van Dorp, who presented both football-related programmes as well as talkshows concerning more political and social/public subjects. After having been a daily guest-star on the show
Villa BvD, a football show during the
1998 World Cup in France (also hosted by Frits Barend and Henk van Dorp), Mulder made more and more TV appearances until finally becoming daily guest-star on the late-night talkshow
Barend & Van Dorp since March 1999, until the show stopped in April 2006. The final season of
Barend & Van Dorp was shown on the channel
Talpa, who had bought the programme from RTL 4 during the summer of 2005. Jan Mulder also frequently appeared on another show that was broadcast by Talpa;
Eredivisie – De Wedstrijden, which aires several times a week and shows highlights of the Dutch Football League (the
Eredivisie). After
Barend & Van Dorp Mulder became a weekly side kick in
De Wereld Draait Door. Mulder has also written several works, ranging from ultra-short stories to novels. Most people will associate his name with CaMu, the partnership between
Remco Campert (Ca) and Jan Mulder (Mu) that has been writing daily front-page columns for national newspaper
de Volkskrant since 1995. These columns are traditionally bundled into books entitled
CaMu Jaaroverzicht at the end of each year. == Bibliography ==
