Wim T. Schippers' TV shows (all produced by Ellen Jens, a former script girl) introduced such characters as Sjef van Oekel (pictured, played by Dolf Brouwers, a former vacuum cleaner salesman), Barend Servet (IJf Blokker, a former drummer), and Jan Vos (Clous van Mechelen, a jazz musician)?

New enough, long enough and neutral. Well sourced but AGF on the sources in Foreign, which seem plausible. Hook is supported. 3 out of 4 were flagged as stubs, so I undid that - seems to me that over 1,500 means not a stub. Good to go. The hook is 296 chars. That is only 74 per article so not too long, but how about the 222-character ALT1 below?

Hmm. Maybe. I suppose. It's just that they are such good names, and I'm not sure you realize that Ge Braadslee and Boy Bensdorp aren't even in there! Anyway, I'll agree, IF you stick "former script girl" back in, for purposes of symmetry etc. (And also, they are there to indicate that Schippers was kind of a career maker.)

Well, the original hook is o.k., just a bit long. I assume the names means something in Dutch, but they do not have any significance in English. ALT2 below.
Yes, every single one of them is a laugh...
