The humorous chronicles on television are sometimes a veritable balancing act. In any case, this is what the fate of comedian Alexandra Pizzagalli suggests, discovered by many Internet users and viewers on September 5, 2022. After a controversial column in the show Telematin broadcast on France 2, it will not return.
The massively commented sequence had forced the channel to issue a public apology.
The chain opposes its return
While the production of the France Télévisions morning show had hinted that she could once again set foot on her set a month after being the source of a bad buzz following her baptism of fire, the public service finally decided to oust him, reveals the comedian to the Parisian. “The awkwardness that I had was to treat a serious subject with lightness in a news program which evoked it in a loop in a poignant way”, confides the main interested party.
But the question of his return to the show had so far only been mentioned as obvious. She says she recently learned that she would not return to it due to a decision by France 2 and even though she had “reworked a concept” and wrote a “much more appropriate” column. »
“I cut everything”
“For the past month, I have asked myself a lot of questions”, admits Alexandra Pizzagali. Being at the center of a controversy based on her first humorous column was not easy for the young woman.
It is therefore the wave of messages, comments and criticisms of which the comedian was the target in a “violent” and “unfair” way which will be the end point of his passage to Telematin. “I cut everything, calls, messages, social networks,” she says again.
Neither the place nor the opportune moment
Alexandra Pizzagalli still presents her regrets. “I will always be deeply sorry to know anyone is hurt by anything, especially if it comes from me,” she said. She still admits to having been “clumsy” as to the timing of this column, even as the trial of the Nice attacks was opening. “It was neither the place nor the time for this text. »
Finally, she confides that despite the calls received in private messages to change jobs, she will remain a comedian, while trying to “do better, to be as skilful as possible, to [s]’improve day by day’.
