It never happens at the right time. This Wednesday, November 13, for the penultimate subject of the 8 p.m. broadcast on France 2, Anne-Sophie Lapix received the journalist and sexologist Damien Mascret, who shared his observations on the evolution of sexuality among young French people. The discussion focused on the increasing age of first sexual intercourse and the increasing importance given to the quality of intimate relationships, where consent and mutual satisfaction are essential. To conclude, the doctor also mentioned the diversification of practices: “We say no when we don't want to. And then on the other hand, there is a greater diversity of practices. This is valid in all age groups.”he concludes.
“Thank you, without transition, the reopening of Notre Dame, sorry”
At the end of this exchange, the journalist had to continue:sans transition” on a completely different register: the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris, scheduled for December 8, with a ceremony in the presence of Emmanuel Macron. Visibly amused by the big gap between the two subjects, she could not help but to laugh, interrupting his remarks several times by apologizing in front of the camera.Thank you, without transition, the reopening of Notre-Dame, sorry, it will take place on December 8 the day after a big ceremony… Sorry…”, she began, trying as best she could to contain her laughter. “Emmanuel Macron will speak outside on the square. (…) The inaugural mass will take place at 10:30 a.m. on December 8…Sorry..“, she repeated while laughing, before launching the evening programs.

This is not the first time that Anne-Sophie Lapix has been the victim of a fit of laughter on the air. From the time she hosted “C to you”she was often overcome by unexpected bursts of laughter. Even on the news, the journalist has experienced other moments of uncontrolled levity, notably last March, when a sudden noise on the set briefly distracted her. But the most memorable incident remains that of 2021, when a cameraman had a spectacular fall by tripping over cables while she was covering a serious subject. Hearing the dull sound of the fall, the journalist couldn't help but laugh, despite her efforts to regain her seriousness. Trying to mask her laughter, she apologized while trying to continue: “This is the end of this newspaper which has experienced some small technical problems. Please excuse my laughter“, she concluded.
