At the start of the 2017 school year, Faustine Bollaert left The Best Pastry Chef from M6 to take on a new challenge. That of resuming the beginning of the afternoon of France 2, a slot left vacant by the cessation of A thousand and one lives by Frédéric Lopez.

“It was erased during editing…” : the revelations of Faustine Bollaert on the beginnings of It starts today
She revealed that emotional sequences were cut during editing. “When I started this show, we were in a logic where the host had to fade a little behind the testimony. So the question of letting go of my emotions was a real debate. Initially, as soon as I showed a emotion, whether tears, anger or joy, it was erased during editing…”, she remembered.
Still with our colleagues, the producer of the show, for which Faustine Bollaert submitted to strict eating habits, explained this. “Our matrix was Jean-Luc Delarue who always remained very neutral. Except that Faustine is not at all made up in the same way, so very quickly, she was moved. We said to ourselves with the channel that “we had to stop wanting her to be so neutral, but to experience this emotion”, she clarified.
In its first weeks of existence, It starts today was marked by strong testimonies which were far from leaving the host indifferent. “I think that when I took Clémence (victim of domestic violence, editor’s note) in my arms or that I was moved by Mel (a young transgender, editor’s note), we all understood that I had to be the embodiment of the audience on set. I know that when I’m angry, the public is angry. I know that when I am touched by someone, the public is the same”commented Faustine Bollaert.
