Cyril Hanouna is absent from live in “Touche pas à mon poste”

Last night, during the show on Tuesday, November 26, “Touche pas à mon poste” became an orphan for a few minutes. Until then, everything was going well: the presenter hosted the second part of his talk show like every evening. For the moment, nothing abnormal. However, when an advertising page returned, it was not the famous host, but his faithful columnist, Valérie Bénaïm, that viewers saw on the screen.

The temporary worker then addressed the public: “Back in “Touche pas à mon poste”. Yes then, uh… How can I tell you? It’s 8:23 p.m., we’re live. I am not Cyril Hanouna »comments the host’s replacement. “ He had a little emergency, he left to make a meeting at the last minute, you know, he is an entertainer, a businessman… », Explains the journalist, excusing her boss. Valérie Bénaïm also gave news to viewers, and in particular to Cyril Hanouna's mother: “Don’t worry, I also reassure his mother who is watching us, everything is fine”she announces.

“We walk on our heads”

Two minutes later, the host returns. “Excuse me, Boulogne has become unusable”he says as if nothing had happened, to the laughter of his columnists. “I was in a double file, I had to go and re-park it”he exclaims. The presenter of “We walk on our heads” even calls on the city’s municipality: “I appeal to the mayor of Boulogne, it is unstoppable”quips the 50-year-old man.

In 10 years of broadcasting, this is obviously not the first time that Hanouna has been absent from a set. It's often the same excuse that comes up, like during a show in 2022: “My car was in a double file and I had to go and re-park it, and in the neighborhood, it’s unparkable”he had already declared. History does not tell us where the C8 troublemaker went during these few mysterious minutes.
