This third season opens with an artist much appreciated by the journalists of the editorial staff of I’m a pothead since they listened to the title “La Banane” for a long time as a preamble to their editorial conference, as Julien Bancilhon explains. A versatile artist, Philippe Katerine is today recognized both as a singer-songwriter, having won a Victoire de la musique in 2020, and as an actor, with a César for best supporting actor for The Big Bath. His poetry and simplicity transformed this meeting with the editorial staff of this atypical newspaper into a joyful, musical, but above all festive moment. This playful universe, which is his, naturally harmonizes with that of the “Papotins” and when Yolanda asks him what his car is called, he answers: ” I call her Mathilde. She is nice to me and I have never had an accident. I drive like a grandmother! »

This hair that I don’t like anymore, I like to think that birds took it to make a nest.

“The Papotin Meetings”
This magazine of atypical interviews proposed by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache, produced by Henri Poulain, takes up the DNA of the newspaper The Papotinwhose editorial staff (40 to 50 people) is composed of non-professional journalists with autism spectrum disorders. In each program moderated by Julien Bancilhon, a unique personality is interviewed without a filter and without a star host. During this meeting, the rules of the game are simple: ” You can tell Papotin anything, but, above all, anything can happen! »

I feel like both a girl and a boy. It depends on the moment.
