Last year, she regained the 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. slot after the surprise departure of Laurent Ruquier in December 2023.

Originally, she had agreed to share the animation with the former presenter of “We are not lying” before he unexpectedly announced that he was leaving the channel: “He is a nice, warm person, who likes to laugh and have fun when he works. I was curious to work with him because he's a pro and I thought it was an interesting exposure to be with him. I would not have accepted co-hosting with just anyone, nor at any price”she explained at the time to our colleagues at Tele-Leisure.
