On-air partners on France Inter, Léa Salamé and Charline Vanhoenacker found each other in “What a time!” this Saturday January 18, 2025 on France 2. “You had a difficult year in 2024, because around Guillaume Meurice there were clashes, problems, and some of your friends left, and despite everything you stayed and you are just as successful”summarized Léa Salamé, before giving him the floor. “It's going very well, assured the former presenter of “Big Sunday evening”, now the holder of a daily ticket in the morning. “I am very happy to have stayed on France Inter, to have followed this path, because I already wanted to stay with the listeners who supported and encouraged me a lot.” she continued.
“Guillaume Meurice went through a terrible cyclone”
The comedian who decided to “resist from within”in his own words, does not regret his choice. “Without sycophancy, I have very valuable work colleagues and I feel good in this channel and then given my job, as France Inter is the leading channel (radio in terms of audience, editor’s note), it's a place of power and so it's quite fun to stay, since my job is to troll him”, Charline Vanhoenacker said.

-Charline Vanhoenacker had chosen her words to comment on the dismissal of Guillaume Meurice and the controversies that followed. “Guillaume went through a terrible cyclone, I was swept away with it. I lived a year under pressure that I wouldn't wish on anyone.” explained to “Le Monde” the comedian who, for his first back-to-school post, looked back on his eventful end of season at the helm of “Grand Dimanche Soir”.
“I come back daily with a new band. Wow, the morning gang: Léa Salamé, Sonia Devillers, Mathilde Serrell, Patrick Cohen… That's also why I'm here Nicolas (Demorand, editor's note), to help you manage a gang with strong personalities because I have acquired a little experience in this area”, she began, to laughter from the studio. For his part, Guillaume Meurice found refuge on Radio Nova with “The Last”, a show where he mixes humor and seriousness, surrounded by his supportive comrades after his ouster.
