For his big return to our screens, Vincent Lagaf’ has not gone unnoticed. January 2, 2025, with the first issue of the reboot of the show The Bigdilthe host attracted 1.8 million viewers, simply allowing the RMC Story channel to shatter its audience record.
A big head in the face of success
A success which obviously makes Vincent Lagaf’ happy, especially since few people in the industry believed in such a comeback, but which should not make him lose his head. The presenter confessed it on Europe 1, he already went through it during his TF1 days and he doesn’t intend to do it again.
Asked about his career, Vincent Lagaf’ revealed that at the start of the game L’or à l’appel (1996-1997), he saw himself changing due to a life upheaval. “For 30 years, I didn’t make a dime and one day, I hit the lottery in L’Or every day, so I lost my temper a littlehe admitted, not very proud of this period. The ease of money means that, sometimes you think you’re what you’re not“.
“You know how much a show costs every day”
-Consequence of this big head? He did not hesitate to go into battle at the drop of a hat, even if it meant putting his career in jeopardy. “I got angry with Gérard [Louvin, producteur]who had an unfortunate word in the press and which the press hastened to transform, distort and amplifyremembered the host. I said to Gérard: ‘Look, since you think that, you know what? You’re right, I’ll stop!’ I stopped on Friday and didn’t come [sur le plateau] Monday“.
A surprise and unprecedented bloodshed, which would not have pleased… Patrick Ke Lay at all. On the contrary, the former CEO of TF1 would have immediately taken responsibility for setting the record straight. “He called me and said, ‘Tell me man. Okay, you get angry with Gérard, that’s one thing, but you have a 3-year contract and you’ve only done one year. So what do we do?detailed Lagaf’. Do you know how much a show costs every day? You owe me so much!‘”
A threat quickly heard by the host, who would have responded: “I said, ‘Don’t move, I’ll come back in September with something.’“And that something was none other than… the Bigdil.
