Tuesday December 3, 2024, Cyril Hanouna presented a new issue of Touche pas à mon poste, on C8. While Kelly ranted given that 4 out of 10 French people are afraid of not being able to give gifts at Christmas, the reflection of a columnist pushed the public to kick him off the set.
A well-felt rant… Tuesday December 3, 2024, Cyril Hanouna presented a new issue of Touche pas à mon poste, on C8. On the set, Kelly Vedovelli let out a rant. “I came across an Ifop survey yesterday which said that we had 37% of French people who feared not being able to buy Christmas gifts to their family, to their children so it makes me sad”she said.
The columnist then clarified: “We have in our sights single-parent families, retirees, who today demonstrated against the decline in purchasing power…”. Annoyed, Cyril Hanouna then blurted out: “It’s unbearable what’s happening for the French and I tell you, it pains me so much… The Christmas period before, I tell the viewers, it was a time of joy. Today, Christmas time, I have a knot in my stomachI swear to you that it's true, for all people… I think a lot about all the French people who, for them, the Christmas period has become a suffering”.
Cyril Hanouna: “When Christmas comes, it becomes anguish!”
Moved, the 50-year-old host assured that the end-of-year celebrations had become a source of anxiety. “They say to themselves: 'How am I going to celebrate Christmas, to give gifts…'. I tell you, for many French people who speak to me, the Christmas period has become an anxiety when it should be a joyful time on the contrary and it's a time that we all loved Today. they put the French in so much troublethat today for the French, when Christmas arrives, it has become an anguish!”he lamented.
Cyril Hanouna then assured that from next week,
they will give gifts “to people who cannot give gifts at Christmas”. “We’re not going to help everyone of course, but this Christmas anxiety is driving me crazy”he said before Valérie Bénaïm pointed out that 50% of households fear not making it through the end of the month.
Jean-Michel Maire asked to leave the set
To conclude, Cyril Hanouna added: “Christmas should be a celebration, children wait for it all year long. And today, there are plenty of parents who are ashamed to tell their children: 'Santa Claus is not coming.' They're going to bleed themselves so Santa Claus can come byand it's unbearable”.
SO, Jean-Michel Maire attempted to intervene by declaring: “To link with the next subject, it is the reins that pull Santa's cart, but Santa Claus this year is squeezing his butt and stop giving gifts because obviously there is security… Ah, that happened a lot!”. Cyril Hanouna and the columnists claimed to have understood nothing, while the public asked him to leave the set, chanting: 'You're getting out'.
