This Wednesday, November 27, the comedian was the guest of “Buzz TV”. The opportunity for him to talk about his show, those who inspired him in his career and his break with the troupe formed by Didier Bourdon, Bernard Campan and Pascal Légitimus.
A star is beur, Do you want some?, How it’s pronounced… The guest on “Buzz TV”, this Wednesday, November 27, was none other than Smaïn. The comedian was invited to present his latest show, entitled Smaïn jokes finely, that he will play this single on stage on the stages of the République on December 4, 19 and 21. The actor returns to what pushed him to write about his life in the latter.
“When we come back on stage, we say to ourselves “Are we going back to old sketches, are we remembering good memories?”I didn’t want it”relate-t-il. “I like to move forward. A show is first and foremost a theme, and mine is very simple. I am a child born in Algeria, an orphan child… I said to myself “Why don’t you take your DNA test?” I did it, and I know a little about my origins… So my whole show revolves around that. I don’t know where I come from and I’m still looking for myself.”

During the “Buzz TV” interview, Smaïn saluted those who guided and inspired him during his career in the humor sector, in particular Philippe Bouvard. It is within the “Théâtre de Bouvard” that we find the premises of Les Inconnus. “I have very good memories of them, they were very good sketches that we wrote in five minutes”he remembers. “It gave us this quality – because Bouvard was extremely demanding: we arrived in the morning, we needed a sketch to record it in the afternoon.”
I have no regrets and I have remained very good friends with Pascal, Didier and Bernard.

The comedian then evokes an anecdote experienced with his sidekick at the time, Pascal Légitimus. “I took a bet with him: I told him “Come on, let’s do a sketch, we don’t rehearse it and we do it improvisation,” says Smaïn. «Paf, “homosexuality in the company”, I remember with Bruno Chapelle. We arrived, only to be improvised by Bouvard. We won our challenge. (…) Suddenly, I was on television, I existed. And I owe that to Bouvard, to Didier, to so many others.”
Despite this, as journalist Mathilde Seifert points out, Smaïn left the “Cinq” troupe that he formed with Didier Bourdon, Bernard Campan, Pascal Légitimus and Seymour Brussel. He deciphers this choice. “It’s going to be brutal what I’m going to say: I didn’t want to do service Arabic. I knew full well that if I continued to do sketches with them, I would have continued to play this identity”delivers the comedian. “By escaping and leaving them their own talent, they left mine to me, and I succeeded too. I was not mistaken, I have no regrets and I remained very good friends with Pascal, Didier and Bernard.
