Last month in Don't Touch My PostCyril Hanouna revealed that he came across Guillaume Genton during a lunch with other people in the industry. He then concluded that his columnist was canvassing other channels with the idea that C8 would stop broadcasting at the end of February 2025 as requested by Arcom. Guillaume Genton then explained himself, a little embarrassed, to the host of the show and his fellow columnists.
Guillaume Genton surpris para Cyril Hanouna
“What did you think when you saw me coming?”Cyril Hanouna first asked Guillaume Genton who announced that he had been in a relationship with a candidate from the show Moms & famous. To which the columnist responded: “I was invited to lunch in a Japanese restaurant by a producer called Antoine Henriquet, who is a friend of the TF1 group.” Subsequently, Guillaume Genton continued:
“He told me 'Here we have lots of projects for you' (…), we were on the terrace and lots of famous people arrived. Cyril Lignac, Mouloud Achour… And, at one point, I hear 'How are they?', it was Cyril.”
The young dad was then very surprised to see his boss in the same restaurant as him, while he was in the middle of a professional meeting. He also specified that he “swallowed his sushi wrong”. Annoyed by the situation, Guillaume Genton then said: “I was extremely uncomfortable, I felt like I had cheated on my girlfriend. We just talked… But, you know that I will always be faithful to you.” The host of Don't Touch My Post then said to him: “Of course, that’s what I see anyway.” With humor, the columnist finally concluded:
“Then, tomorrow, I have brunch with Yann Barthès, if you don’t mind.”
Guillaume Genton restless
During the daily Don't Touch My Post this Tuesday, November 19, Guillaume Genton admitted to having experienced exactly the same situation. While he was at the restaurant for lunch, he saw Cyril Hanouna arriving straight away. “I saw Guillaume Genton again at the restaurant this lunchtime. Guillaume Genton still on a date who is looking for work”said Cyril Hanouna before his columnist rebounded:
“I'm very worried because we've crossed paths at the restaurant 4 or 5 times now. And I discovered that it was you who was following me.” While Cyril Hanouna let him know that he had no “really not that much to do”Guillaume Genton announced with humor: “Anyway, I'm going to drop off a handrail. I filmed you and you're following me into the restaurant.”
Subsequently, Cyril Hanouna said: “I feel like you were nervous. The whole restaurant was nervous, but I'm very nice.” Moreover, Guillaume Genton filmed Cyril Hanouna when he arrived at the establishment and on the video, we can see him looking at his columnist while walking. What made people laugh on the set of Don't Touch My Post.
C8 a danger
Since this summer, the C8 channel has been in danger after Arcom's decision not to renew the frequency. An appeal to the Council of State has also been made and the definitive answer on the future of C8 will be known within a few days. In the meantime, the channel has launched a petition and it has collected more than 800,000 signatures to date.
