Bruce Toussaint was responsible for hosting a new edition of Bonjour ! this Wednesday, November 20, 2024. From 6:30 a.m., he was surrounded by a team of columnists to support the awakening of TF1 viewers live until 9:30 a.m.
During her 7 o'clock news, Garance Pardigon spoke of Rafael Nadal's farewell. The day before, the tennis legend signed his final match of his professional career. “He reigned almost absolute master on the clay courts for almost 20 years. Rafael Nadal received a standing ovation when he played his last match yesterday. Farewell at home in Spain, not without a certain emotion obviously”commented the journalist from Bonjour !.
Oh stop, we're not touching Nadal!
After the broadcast of a report on the farewell of the man whose wife Xisca burst into tears, Bruce Toussaint indulged in a remark which was far from going unnoticed on set. “Hey, it's a bit like Charles Aznavour's farewell, isn't it? How many times has he done this to us?”he blurted. To which Karim Bennani replied: “Oh stop, we're not touching Nadal!“.
The one who was responsible for replacing Christophe Beaugrand did not hide his annoyance. “Stop! He’s finishing at home, it’s magnificent!”he said to Bruce Toussaint. The former BFMTV host appeared somewhat taken aback by the reaction of his team of columnists. “Pardon, I didn't know there were taboo subjects… No, no, but did he say goodbye to us a month ago? I’m not crazy?”he retorted.
Bruce Toussaint persists and signs
The team of columnists Bonjour ! rushed to defend the Spanish champion. “Yes, but it’s the tour!”, “It’s the Davis Cup, at home!”et “He’s coming full circle!”successively chanted Maud Descamps, Karim Bennani and Garance Pardigon. To which Bruce Toussaint reacted: “Well, I can’t wait to see the comeback!”.
Karim Bennani insisted that Rafael Nadal will not return, but that was not enough to convince the host whose son Noé is a rapper. “Are you kidding? Even Björn Borg (another tennis legend, editor's note) came back! Stop!”he replied before humorously blurting out to his columnist: “You yourself will come back, you will see!”.
