Attention spoilers… Here, we are talking about television. From reality TV to JT 13 hours through the regional thrillers of France 3, 20 minutes – and, above all, the incredible editorial team of the “Retro TV” section (composed of one person) – scrutinizes everything that passes on the small screen. But yes, you know, this box that comes alive and that young people use to watch YouTube!
Every Saturday, it is therefore here that you will find our favorites (or not), all the crisp information and the indiscretions of the week. Come on, let’s take a look at the TV news?
number of the week
We don’t know where it will stop. This week, Audrey Fleurot once again broke audience records thanks to HPI. If the new episode broadcast this Thursday was watched by 7.8 million fans, it is especially the replay figures that are impressive. Thus, the two new numbers of the second evening respectively collected 2 million and 2.1 million additional viewers. “This is a record for earnings over the year and the best replay of the season”, welcomes TF1 in a press release.
The news flash
You can book your carpool to Châteauroux for mid-December. While the Miss France election usually takes place in the corner of the previous winner, this will not be the case this year. The company has just revealed that the next ceremony will not take place in Ile-de-France, region of Diane Leyre, but in the Center-Val-de-Loire. The city of Châteauroux has already recently organized the TF1 show, in 2017, for the coronation of Maëva Coucke.
The zapping moment
A short trip to the other side of the Atlantic for the farewell of a figure of American television. This week, Ellen DeGeneres hosted the last issue of her talk show after nineteen seasons. “I hope I was able to inspire you to make other people happy and do good in the world. Thank you so much for being on this adventure with me. I feel love. And I send it back to you. Goodbye,” she said in her final monologue.
Two years ago, the host had been in turmoil following an investigation by buzzfeed which revealed the toxic work atmosphere that reigned within the production of the show. However, it would not be for these reasons that the show would stop. “I needed a new challenge,” Ellen DeGeneres told the HollywoodReporter.

It has been more than seven months since his transfer was announced and we will finally see the fruits of this transfer window. After leaving TF1, Jarry arrives on France 2 to host The Big Show, to be seen in prime time on the public channel on Saturday, June 11. On the program: happenings, sketches and surprises for the public, thanks in particular to celebrities Laëtitia Milot and Amir.
M6 leaves time for reflection. In a tweet published on Monday, Julien Courbet announced that the program Call for witnesses, which he co-hosts with Nathalie Renoux, would not be back on the air right away. “The show will not return in its current form, but reflection and work are underway with the teams to change the format,” said the presenter. As a reminder, the launch had attracted 2.6 million people against 1.85 million for the last issue in January.
If we don’t know yet when will return Call for witnesses, we are sure to never see the Buckingham Palace concert event to celebrate the jubilee of Queen Elisabeth II on M6. However, the channel had initially announced that it would broadcast this show with Alicia Keys and Elton John, among others, on Saturday June 4. But “due to late information concerning production”, it will finally be necessary to connect to Paris Première to follow all this live. On M6, the public will be able to find a certain Julien Courbet for a new issue of the magazine Scams.
