Has Patrick Sébastien watched television since his ouster from France 2 in 2019? Yes, but not much, he confides on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 in Le Parisien. The one who just published the book The Carnival of the Ambitious even cites his favorite programs: rugby, The 12 strokes of noon of his friend Jean-Luc Reichmann and 100% Logic by Cyril Féraud.
Entertainment at its worst according to Patrick Sébastien
However, despite the high audiences for these programs, Patrick Sébastien believes that entertainment is in free fall on French television: “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 see what they’re watching: murder stories“. Should we also see a reference to the editorial shift of TPMP who now debates the news and current events more than on TV? Apparently not. The ex-host protests the closure of C8 (which has been rebroadcasting his cult shows for five years, editor’s note) decided by Arcom, which could put an end to Don’t touch my post : “This is not normal. They deprive 2 million people of their evening show. I like Cyril Hanouna, I watch it with normal people at home and it’s nothing more or 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“.
Patrick Sébastien: his compliments to Cyril Hanouna in TPMP
A few weeks ago, Patrick Sébastien was Cyril Hanouna’s guest on Europe 1 and confided to him: “I’m looking at you. Sometimes you make me laugh! Gilles (Verdez), he makes me laugh so much. It’s a show. It’s really good, because everyone is talking. You give everyone a voice. That’s what real France is, giving everyone a voice, so everyone can express themselves. Even when we say stupid things (…)! I look at it with a distracted eye, or not. It makes my evening meal. And then, you’re smart, you did it well. It’s TV and it’s entertainment. That’s it, that’s it for the compliments!“. Currently on tour with his piece Tributes and dessertPatrick Sébastien will celebrate his 50th career next month by Michel Drucker in Roll on Sunday.
