Loretta Maxine Schrijver (born 16 May 1956 in New York City) is a Dutch television host.[1]

Schrijver started working for television after finishing her studies History and Translation Science, after which she became a famous television personality. She was a news anchor for RTL Nieuws on RTL 4 from 1989 until 2000 and again from 2001 until 2007, presenting alongside Jeroen Pauw among others. In 2000 she exchanged RTL 4 for the AVRO and co-hosted the television program Alle dieren tellen mee (All animals count). After working there for a year she decided that public broadcasting didn't suit her and she returned to the RTL News.

Since 2019, Schrijver is a jury member in the Dutch version of The Masked Singer.[2]
