From 6:30 p.m. this Monday, December 2, meet in the kitchen for chef Cyril Lignac's culinary showwhich invites viewers to concoct special recipes for the end-of-year holidays. The show, which was launched in 2020 during confinement, returns every year in December.
But this year, All in the kitchen: party menu will not be live. Jérôme Anthony, who is alongside Cyril Lignac in the show, explained the reasons for this choice while he was the guest of Thomas Isle on Culture Médias this morning.
A choice for everyone’s safety
If Cyril Lignac is in the kitchen in Paris, Jérôme Anthony travels the roads of France to prepare the recipe every evening in the middle of French towns and villages in the company of the public. A nice and friendly moment which requires a lot of organization and above all, security. It is for this reason that the M6 channel made the decision not to broadcast live this year.
“It’s just for security reasons. We are in the middle of cities, there are a lot of people around us, a few hundred, sometimes a few thousand and it's complicated to manage so many people (…) Last year, we continued to do it with a large security service following us, but despite everything, it was complicated to manage. There is always one or two who want to be smart” he explained, while assuring that the very essence of the show would still be there and that it wouldn't change much.
“The sound bugs, the technical problems are still there… We'll see them, we don't know a bit of what's happening.” declared Jérôme Anthony at the microphone of Europe 1.
Jérôme Anthony: “We do one a day”
Subsequently, Cyril Lignac's comrade gave more details concerning the filming of the shows.
Asked by Thomas Isle about the cost of live broadcasts which are more expensive when recorded, Jérome Anthony replies: “No doubt, but I'm not a producer so I don't know anything about it at all. We don't record several shows in a row, we do one per day and it happens that sometimes, because there is a public holiday etc., we do two in the same day, but it's very, very rare (…) We are really in the conditions of live, of live life“.
This evening, actor François Berléand will be behind the stove on M6 with Cyril Lignac and Jérôme Anthony.
