This is called a TV moment. This Monday evening, for the return of "Quotidien" after a week of vacation, Yann Barthès' talk show on TMC offered an interview by videoconference to the competing program, "C à vous" from France 5, presented by Anne -Elisabeth Lemoine.
A friendly wink between two star animators which did not really go as planned. At the start, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, very fit, recounts the difficult behind-the-scenes manufacturing stages of “C à vous” during the confinement period, multiplying the valves to the two columnists who surround her, Patrick Cohen and Maxime Switek.
“Patrick Cohen arrives every evening by scooter in my dressing room, it's a ritual. We have the colleagues we can, we don't choose! She jokes. “This confinement changed everything. Before, we were stuck tight in meetings, now, we keep our distance. We received up to eight guests each evening, today, only one maximum, ”she explains.
Yann Barthès asked him if it was "very reasonable to continue" the program during this period, admitting that he and his team regularly questioned the continuation of "Daily". “We also ask ourselves this question every day. If we weren't there, it would have made very little sense to have been journalists for the past 30 years. Our place is there, every evening on the air ”pleads, suddenly serious, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine.
"Oh no, it cut! You bastards! "
The host then insists on showing the backstage of the new set of “C à vous”, followed by the camera. She gets up and then greedily teases her TMC rivals, showing the boxes in her studio. She points to the wall where several guests, such as Catherine Deneuve or the astronaut Thomas Pesquet, have left sympathetic messages of thanks. And makes believe in a specific box reserved for Barack Obama. A way to ironize on the prestigious cast of the guests of "C à vous", in competition with that of "Quotidien".
It is then that Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine believes the connection brutally interrupted, while she is still live on the show by Yann Barthès. " It has cut ? Oh no, it cut! You bastards! She screams amused but disappointed, while the Barthès team laughs loudly, repeating to him that "no, it didn't cut!" " But Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine does not hear. And continues, believing himself off the air: "They've cut the Quotiputes! The address provokes a laugh on the set of "Quotidien", who decides to launch the usual magneto "Le petit Q" by Willy Papa.

"Barthès says to him, hilarious. " Sorry ? You don't call us the kitchen maybe? How do you call us? You call us the kitchen! She retorts, pugnacious and a bit embarrassed by her blunder. On both sides, the chroniclers around the table laugh. She finally lets go: "It's a disaster. "
