In an interview with Midi Libre, Marianne James did not mince her words when commenting on the threats of disappearance looming over the show “Touche pas à mon poste”, presented by Cyril Hanouna on C8.
Marianne James and Cyril Hanouna will not go on vacation together. It is hardly a surprise to assume this as the presenter of TPMP and the former juror of Nouvelle Star have hated each other for years. So, seeing that C8's flagship show could soon disappear from the air, Marianne James did not hide her enthusiasm.
Indeed, the most popular show on the small screen could disappear with the closure of C8, due to a disagreement with the Canal+ group to bring it back to Cstar. At Midi Libre, Marianne James, who served on TPMP as a columnist in 2013, has remained true to herself and her outspokenness.

In the interview, she particularly regretted that the public did not necessarily vote for the best in the various talent shows in search of new talents such as the Star Academy or La France a un incredible talent.
“There are always people who like crap”
TPMP, a “flood of vomit” according to Marianne James
To support her words, she completely let loose on Cyril Hanouna and his show “TPMP”:
“It’s like people who prefer to watch C8 with Hanouna and its stream of vomit, rather than going to Arte or La Cinquième”

This tackle, with both feet off the ground, which very much resembles a lost ball against Cyril Hanouna, is not necessarily surprising. Several years ago, Marianne James had already castigated the host and his show for their past tendency to criticize her at the slightest opportunity:
“He never lets go, he pricks me all the time! It's delicious to be hated by ignorant people, it's magnificent”.
For the moment, the TPMP show is on break for the Christmas holidays and should return to C8 in January 2025. A return which could be short-lived with the upcoming interruption of the C8 channel. For her part, Marianne James revealed that she would soon have to stop television sometime in 2025.
