Het wordt zijn laatste seizoen als presentator van de dagelijkse quiz. Na meer dan 7000 afleveringen neemt hij eind juni 2027 afscheid. Het populaire programma blijft bestaan. Vanaf september 2027 is <strong>Sven de Leijer</strong>, al zijn hele leven een grote <em>Blokken</em>-fan, de nieuwe gastheer.</p><blockquote><strong>Olivier Goris</strong>, hoofd video VRT: &ldquo;We zijn ontzettend dankbaar dat Ben zich al die jaren zo gesmeten heeft voor VRT, <em>den BRT</em> zoals hij dat zelf graag zegt. <em>Blokken </em>is uitgegroeid tot een iconisch televisieprogramma dat elke avond een trouw publiek aan zich weet te binden. Het is dan ook vanzelfsprekend dat we geloven in het lange leven van <em>Blokken</em>, met Sven als perfecte nieuwe host die oprecht van het programma houdt. Maar eerst gaan we met z&rsquo;n allen nog een seizoen lang genieten van Ben.&rdquo;</blockquote><h3 id=\"blokken-en-ben-vakmanschap-sinds-1994\" ><em>Blokken </em>en Ben: vakmanschap sinds 1994</h3><p><em>&ldquo;Een goeienavond en welkom in een gloednieuw spelprogramma.&rdquo; </em>Met die woorden opende de 31-jarige Ben Crabb&eacute; op maandag 5 september 1994 de allereerste aflevering van <em>Blokken</em> op het toenmalige TV 1. 32 jaar later zijn zowel Ben als <em>Blokken</em> nog elke dag een garantie op succes in de vooravond van VRT 1. <em>Blokken</em> is de langstlopende dagelijkse tv-quiz ter wereld.</p><p>De <em>Blokken</em>-carri&egrave;re van Ben Crabb&eacute; is indrukwekkend. Hij is het enige lid van de productieploeg dat in 32 jaar geen enkele opname gemist heeft. Vanaf dag &eacute;&eacute;n drukte hij nadrukkelijk zijn stempel op het programma. Hij kneedde <em>Blokken</em> van een harde kennisquiz tot een entertainende <em>daily</em> voor het brede publiek. </p><p>Drie decennia lang al houdt Ben elke dag de vinger aan de pols. Goed voor ruim 6840 afleveringen tot nu toe. 8900 kandidaten. 240 000 quizvragen. En 395 000 gevallen blokjes. Cijfers om van te duizelen.</p><div\n    id='gallery-11c3fde1-32d1-4ef9-b706-84a7319fa99d'\n    class='release-content-gallery release-content-gallery--layout-contained'\n
