Patrick Sébastien shows (unsurprisingly) his support for C8. In an interview published this Tuesday, November 19, 2024 in “Le Parisien”, the former presenter of “Années Bonheur” (2006-2019, on France 2) and “Plus grand cabaret du monde” (1998-2019, on France 2 ), whose channel 8 regularly broadcasts the best moments, reacted to Arcom's decision not to renew the frequency of the Canal+ group channel after February 28 2025.”This is not normal“, he retorts, decidedly.
“Viewers are not stupid enough to form their opinion solely on 'TPMP'!”
“They deprive 2 million people of their evening show“, he still laments. “I like Cyril HanounaI watch it with normal people at home and it's nothing more and nothing less than store-bought coffee. But viewers are not stupid enough to form their opinion based on that alone! They know what to take and what to leave. We despise these people once again“.
In a more general reasoning, Patrick Sébastien is worried about “the status of entertainers“on the small screen.”Today we see that entertainment no longer has its place on television. There is a kind of anxiety-provoking climate where people make themselves anxious. Just look at what they're watching: murder stories. I talk about it on stage imitating Serge Gainsbourg: the guy is on his couch, he sees the war, little girls murdered… He tells himself that he's not going to come down and ask what we owe him, that he has It's already lucky that what he sees on the screen doesn't happen to him in reality.” tells the acrobat on tour with his piece “Hommage et dessert”, a show in which he pays homage to Coluche, Serge Gainsbourg or Louis de Funès and indulges in confidences or comments on current events.

On television, Patrick Sébastien will make a brief return to public service during the end-of-year holidays. On December 29, 2024, more precisely, Michel Drucker will dedicate an issue of “Vivement Dimanche” to his former colleague from France Télévisions. “When Michel called me, I reminded him that I had been working in the public service since I left (in 2019, editor's note), that he had to ask permission. And five minutes later, he called me back and told me it was good. I'm happy about it and I'm letting him organize everything, I don't know what's going to happen!“.
