Guest on the set of “C à vous”, Tuesday January 7, 2025, Laurent Ruquier mentioned his hair on his tongue. A small speech difficulty which never bothered him but which he still “corrected a little” after a remark from a Europe 1 program director.
He too has “pans”, as he liked to call the sometimes embarrassing archives of his guests which he revealed in “Children of TV”. Invited on the set of “C à vous”, Tuesday January 7, 2025, to promote the play he wrote, “La Mona Lisa finally speaks”, which will be performed at the Champs-Élysées studio from January 23 , Laurent Ruquier was entitled to the broadcast of an extract from his first appearance on television. It was in 1987, in the show “Paris Kiosque”, on France 3. “It’s very bad,” he said when he saw himself in a suit and bow tie, making a series of puns for a chronicle on the royal family of England.
The column was called “Comme un s’cheveux sur la z’oupe”, a reference to his hair on the tongue. “Were you very self-conscious about that? », asked Mohamed Bouhafsi. “Surprisingly, I wasn’t very self-conscious because I didn’t really realize it. I swear to you it’s true,” replied Laurent Ruquier. “Before we really did radio – at the time I hadn’t done much – we didn’t really get along and no, for me, it wasn’t a trauma. » It was a remark from a Europe 1 program director which pushed him to “correct” his hair on his tongue.

“You guys suck at the airwaves and, what’s more, you have a hair on your tongue”
“One day, at Europe 1, a director, Patrice Blanc-Francard, when I was an author for Maryse Gildas and Jean Amadou, had to tell me: ‘No, but you’re bad for the air and, what’s more, , you have a hair on your tongue”. That’s when I went to see a speech therapist and corrected it a little. I still have it a little bit, but I corrected it, I worked for it, but not for long, it barely lasted a month,” declared the presenter of “Gross Têtes”. And added: “It’s a question of concentration […]a question of breathing, of self-confidence. It reappears very often in moments of stress, if I have a first, I don’t have stage fright, but the hair on my tongue returns at that moment. »
