“Don’t worry, everything is fine!”

Cyril Hanouna first presented “The tribe of Baba”. The channel then continued with the first part of “Touche pas à mon poste”. But at the start of the second, Cyril Hanouna did not appear when returning from an advertising page. Valérie Bénaïm took over at short notice when the host had not warned viewers of her upcoming departure from the set. “Back in ‘Touche pas à mon poste’. Yes then, uh… How can I tell you? It’s 8:23 p.m., we’re live. I’m not Cyril Hanouna… He had a little emergency…”she said. She then hastened to reassure viewers of the channel, whose frequency Arcom has decided not to renew beyond February 28, 2025, as well as the family of the emblematic presenter of “TPMP”. “Don’t worry, I’m reassuring his mother who is watching us. Don’t worry, everything is fine!”she chanted.

Valérie Bénaïm argued that Cyril Hanouna had to go to “a meeting at short notice”arguing that he was “still a businessman too”. She then launched a debate centered on the theme “New programs: should we give sex education lessons in school?” Fabrice Di Vizio and Béatrice Rosen joined him on set to discuss the subject with the columnists of “Touche pas à mon poste”.
