Revealed to the general public on Canal+, Yann Barthès appeared for the first time on the small screen in Le Grand Journal. At the time, the journalist was at the head of a column called Le Petit Journal. After a few years, the popularity of this section became so great that the management of Canal+ decided to make it a show in its own right.
Yann Barthès therefore became the official presenter of this new program, which retained the name Petit Journal. Subsequently, the journalist made the decision to leave the Canal+ group in 2016. Recruited by the TF1 group, he now presents a new daily program called Quotidien.
Yann Barthès: “I’m not going to tell you that I’m delighted to be there”
Again, the popularity of the program increases from year to year. As proof, Yann Barthès sometimes attracts more viewers than Cyril Hanouna with TPMP. Recently, the star presenter of C8 was interviewed by the commission of inquiry into the allocation of TNT frequencies to the National Assembly. An exercise to which its competitor TMC also took part on Wednesday March 27, 2024.
That day, Yann Barthès was notably questioned about the fact that he refuses to receive far-right political figures on his show. “I swore to tell the truth so I’m not going to tell you that I’m delighted to be here. But it is an experience nonetheless. I take it as such“, declared the host at the start of his audition.
Cyril Hanouna disguises himself as the presenter of Quotidien
For his part, Cyril Hanouna obviously devoted a large part of Don’t touch my post at the debriefing of this hearing on Wednesday March 27, 2024. From the start of the show, the presenter openly made fun of Yann Barthès. Cyril Hanouna notably attacked the rather particular look that his competitor wore in front of the deputies earlier in the day.
On set, Cyril Hanouna did not hesitate to dress up like Yann Barthès. He put on a large green fleece. The host then put on a large pair of glasses. Finally, Cyril Hanouna completed his outfit by wearing a wig supposed to recall the haircut of the presenter of Quotidien. A disguise that made its columnists hilarious on set.
