The cult show celebrates this Friday 30th anniversary with a special program. Created by Thierry Ardisson, she reminds us that television must innovate.
There was a time when linear television was original and creative, whether in prime-time access, in the first part of the evening or in the second part of the evening; On large channels, but also on the small cable. This Friday, May 9, the anniversary of “last Paris” reminds us and returns the French audiovisual landscape (PAF) to its gloom on a background of audience erosion.
Among the concepts he created, Thierry Ardisson targeted just with “Last Paris”. Ban of the public service in 1995, the animator of “midnight baths” or “double game” offers on the chain of the cable paris premiere a subjective foray into the Parisian nights. On September 30, 1995, we discovered, without seeing his head, the man in black lying on his bed zapping the chains of a boring TV. On the credits of the “prisoner”, Ardisson frees himself and leaves his apartment. Here he is questioning Jacques Vergès in an Asian restaurant. The image accelerates, he finds in Bristol Robert Charlebois, then eats a burger with Benoît Poelvoorde, to finish in a sado-maso box with “mistress Françoise”, all with a thunderous soundtrack. 50 revolutionary minutes. The host will record 40 issues before entrusting its presentation to Frédéric Taddéi (1997-2006), Xavier de Moulins (2006-2010), Philippe Besson (2010-2013) and François Simon (2013-2016).

Like “Everyone talks about it”, “93 Faubourg Saint-Honoré” or “Black Glasses for White Nights”, “Last Paris” proves that Erdisson, 76 years old on the clock, was able to create programs of an incredible modernity despite the years. And as the last snub, instead of finishing his Paris last 2025 in a swingers box, he will be at the Saint-Eustache church listen to the large organs. What could be better for the PAF Pope?
“Last Paris”, May 9 in Paris Première at 10:50 p.m.
