The cloth burns between Laurent Baffie and Thierry Ardisson. For the past few weeks, the two men formerly inseparable on television have clashed by interposed media. A quarrel that took a new turn last night in “C to you” on France 5.
Back to the origin of the conflict
It all started in mid-April 2025, when Laurent Baffie, guest in the show “What an era!” Presented by Léa Salamé on France 2, had made her mea culpa concerning certain jokes and behaviors adopted in the program “Everyone talks about it“that he co-animated with Thierry Ardisson between 1998 and 2006.
“It was a reflection of an era when we were sexier, macho and stupid”had then declared the humorist, recognizing having participated in a “Sexist and macho time “. He had notably mentioned the treatment reserved for certain “Small singers“, which they considered as “weak prey”, And had apologized, especially to Lara Fabian.
Ardisson’s scathing response
This outing was not at all appreciated by Thierry Ardisson. In the columns of “La Tribune on Sunday” This May 4, the man in black, who has just published his memories entitled “The man in black“(ed. Plon), reacted: “[Laurent Baffie] Takes 10,000 balls per week and today, he spit in the soup saying that we were stupid and macho! All that to try to enter the camp of good! “
Particularly reassembled, Thierry Ardisson said he wrote to his former accomplice: “Listen, you are nice: con and macho, you speak for you. I am neither cunt nor macho. “ He also deplored that Laurent Baffie said that with him, “We had weak prey”.
Laurent Baffie’s development in “C à vous”
Faced with Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine on the set of “C to you”Laurent Baffie wanted to clarify his position and respond to the accusations of Ardisson.
“We will get things back. I was at Léa Salamé, I apologized to the people I was able to hurt. There are very very few, but there are,” first explained the 66 -year -old humorist.
-Then, tackling the criticism of his former acolyte head -on, he said: “No, I don’t spit in the soup. Yes, he says I spit in the soup.”
Laurent Baffie insisted that he did not personally target Ardisson in his words: “Me, I said ‘we’, it was a ‘generic’, I did not speak of Thierry and me.”
“The best soup I eaten in my life”
The former sniper of “Everyone talks about it” wanted to underline his gratitude to the world of television which allowed him to make a career: “I do not spit in the soup, especially since I had the chance to invent a job, to do it, to be well paid to say bullshit. It is the best soup I ate in my life, it’s television. So I don’t spit at all.”
Nuating his previous statements, he said: “I don’t regret everything. I am proud to have served people. I am proud to have been funny. Now I have a corrosive humor. “
A new career on social networks
Laurent Baffie is experiencing a second youth thanks to social networks. In just a few months, the humorist won over a million subscribers on Instagram with his videos filmed using Ray-Ban glasses equipped with a discreet camera.
“The million subscribers on Instagram, that’s why I worked, it gives you credit, it slams,” he said recently in the Parisian columns.
