With his two well -placed valves with regard to Nicolas Bedos and Louis Sarkozy, Paul de Saint Sernin was propelled to the front of the stage. But who is this humorist fan of sport, who summons in his trajectory both Dominique de Villepin and Laurent Baffie?
Since May 3, everyone knows its name: with its creaky valves towards Nicolas Bedos and Louis Sarkozy, the sniper of the France 2 show What an era!Paul de Saint Sernin, had the Internet jubilant. In the first, condemned for sexual assault, he announced that the benefits of the book he promotes will be donated to an association of victims: “You don’t know, I just decided it. It was a way to show you that it is important consent. I decide that the money is donated to this association, without asking you your opinion. ” In the second, son of ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy-recently sentenced for “corruption” -, he sores:“Your father is a thief.”
Sutrictions that have unleashed (of joy, essentially) social networks and very little likely to the two main concerns. When Bedos did not hide his annoyance at the moment, the son Sarkozy preferred to scour the TV sets after the broadcast. On BFM TV, he said: “Tacking a son on the set is a strategy that is part of currents that we have seen in American wokism. ” On X, he ignited: “The young humorist undoubtedly felt the obligation to say this kind of thing – otherwise he would have been attacked by his own clan.. ” But then who is this new name of humor, definitely not there to laugh?
A gifted in sports journalism
Born in 1991 from a broker father and a mother employed in a bank, cousin of former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, Paul de Saint Sernin grew up in a practicing Catholic environment. He explains that he had to learn to manage a certain stutter very early on, before being diagnosed with very high intellectual and neuroatypic potential at the age of 11.
-At first, sports journalism interests the young man. He took his first steps in the world from his majority as an infosport+ special, and presents the sports news of itélé. He then foams the offices of RFI and team 21, but feels that his place is not there. “” “I had a very traced path … but I was bored! I wanted to show my personality and be funny: so I changed my job, I went to make jokes in bars… ”he explains.
The new sniper?
At 25, he decided to try the comedy clubs, ranging from the Jamel Comedy Club to the Paname Art Café. Besides that, he arrives at Canal+ to present chronicles in The little newspaper, clickor The info of the real. It was in 2022 that Paul de Saint Sernin confirmed his media ascent with his participation in the new talk show of Léa Salamé and Christophe Dechavanne, What an era! He launched himself in parallel in his first one on stage, acclaimed by the press.
The France 2 show is for him the opportunity to illustrate in a mythical role of the talk show – the sniper – and to walk in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors, starting with Laurent Baffie. Which represents an obvious inspiration for the young humorist. “” “Of course, I looked at him all my life”, He confides about the ex-Compase of Ardisson. But it is distinguished in several ways: less vulgar (and less misogynist), it is also far from the set, perched in the stands and in the middle of the public. His untimely interventions interrupt the discussions that have Salamé and her guests, often to gently mock her.
In many ways, his sudden incursions, drawn faster than his shadow, recall Julien Cazarre more, another well -known SNIPER of PAF and sports sets. Unworthy therefore that he also considers him as one of his models, even considering him as “A figure in French football”. Models of which he skillfully manages to detach himself to trace a promising road, dotted with offended reactionaries and rabid mascus. This is in any case all the harm we wish him …
