And to delay the matter by explaining to us his conversation with Laurent Ruquier: “He told me he was completely open. He thought it was a shame but he was completely open to me coming to promote later or at any time as a guest. It was not a unilateral decision that was taken. We’re not in North Korea! I found it funny (smile) !”
Kody assures that he is on good terms with RTBF. “We are completely on the same wavelength with RTBF. I will do a little promotion of my show, given that I am on tour in Belgium and France. And then I will concentrate on the launch ofFreewheeling coming soon.”
To Grosses Têtes for the New Year
RTBF assures that Kody will be able to go there from January 2025. “With my tour dates, I will go when I can, indeed, Kody says. But yes, I will go and do my promotion at Grosses Têtes and elsewhere.”
In testing at Ruquier, wasn’t his goal to become a member of the show? “No, I’m not going to become a member, I’m going to go and do my promotion there. I’ll go when they offer me. There are different ways to promote, you can be the guest for 30 minutes or you can be brought in for the two hours of the show. It’s already an honor to do so. It’s fun to go there.”
Kody removed from “Grosses Têtes”: RTBF reacts to Laurent Ruquier’s tackle!
The war with RTL?
“I am an artist, I am not in that approach, assures the comedian inseparable from the Grand Cactus of RTBF. I am in a different approach. I have things to offer to the public.” Broadcast on a competing channel – Bel RTL – of RTBF, Les Grosses Têtes must therefore do without Kody at least until the new year. And Kody understands Laurent Ruquier’s hot reaction: “I tell him I’m coming and then I can’t come anymore, his first reaction is to say: ‘Why the fuck did they react like that?’ He said it on the air because we know he’s someone who doesn’t have his tongue in his pocket.”
As for its media visibility on the other channel? “I have already done promotion on RTL. They are not against it because it is a completely normal right as an artist. I cannot do the 71 but I can very well be in a film which is broadcast on RTL But I could not be a recurring member of the show at Les Grosses Têtes. That was not the objective nor the idea of having me. promo or test.” And to conclude, always tempering the thing and looking to the future: “When some doors close, others open.”
