Saturday evening, Cyril Hanouna was the guest of Laurent Ruquier and Léa Salamé in We are live on France 2. Cyril Hanouna, the author of the book What the French told me with Christophe Barbier, but also, of course, Cyril Hanouna, the host and television producer.
Barely installed on the set of the show, he also took out his phone to monitor the audiences of his passage live. “We have an 11.5% audience share, that’s big,” he said at the end of his interview. You’ve never been at 11.5, and it’s still going up. You started at 5%, you are at 11.5%. “
“Are we going to vote for a showman tomorrow?” “
The interview itself was marked by an annoyed intervention from Pierre Arditi, also a guest on the show. When Cyril Hanouna explains that Jean Messiha, former member of the National Rally office and now regular columnist for CNews and C8, “is no longer a politician in people’s minds, he’s a showman”. And to add: “Are we going to vote for a showman tomorrow?” I’m not sure, ”while quoting Donald Trump.
“We have the heroes we deserve (…) that infuriates me and I’m sick of it!”

And Pierre Arditi to intervene. “I don’t know, it’s all the rage right now. And that’s not necessarily what we do best. We have the heroes we deserve. We can fight against that, I would tend to fight against that. (…) Politicians, we don’t ask them to go on television shows, we ask them to solve people’s problems. The rest, we do not care. It annoys me. I’ve had it up to here. “
