This November 24, 2024, Laurent Delahousse received on the set of
8:30 p.m. on Sunday, a supercharged Jamel Debbouze. The comedian, present to promote the launch of the Comedy Club shows, looked back on several aspects of his life. The France 2 journalist then wanted to get him to react on the personalities who played a very important role in his life. “At the heart of 2008, there is also another form of transmission. There was a couple who believed in you, a little more than the others in the end. A couple: it’s Bacri and Jaoui”, indicates Laurent Delahousse, referring to Jean-Pierre Bacri and Agnès Jaoui.
But now the screen placed in front of the two men does not display the correct image. To which Jamel Debbouze says: “Hey management there, are you sleeping or what? Two hours of working on this show to have the wrong synths, we’re going to fire you!”says the comedian.

Laurent Delahousse, visibly uncomfortable, had difficulty continuing to do his show. But it is true that the two French actors had an important role in the life of Jamel Debbouze.
Last February, he was also present on the César stage to give a moving speech to Agnès Jaoui, who was receiving an honorary César. “Agnès Jaoui she is not won easily, but when she loves you, it is for life […] I have admiration for his career. She does everything, she sings, she dances, she directs and she even plays the ukulele“, he said.

But for the actor, writing a speech for this woman who means so much was very difficult: “Imagine giving an award to someone you love so much, in front of all of France, it's very strange to experience. To tell you the truth, I didn't want to do it. Because it's too emotional. J 'had to force my nature, I think I'm very modest', he confided to Parisian. “We don’t say ‘I love you’ to each other in our families. We treat ourselves (he notices a glass of soda on the table)… Coke. (He laughs.) Speaking so frankly to Agnès was not an easy exercise.”
In addition, the absence of Jean-Pierre Bacri, who died in 2021, did not help matters. “Especially since Jean-Pierre (Bacri) was no longer there. It was even trickier. But I really had the feeling that evening that he was there. He was definitely there.”he concluded.
