XXL return for Cyril Hanouna on C8. The star host of the Canal + group channel will do three different programs with three distinct bands and all live: “Balance your post! "Now daily from Tuesday at 5:45 pm," Don't touch my post! »At 6 pm this Monday then at 6.45 pm each evening and the game« Take it or leave it »at 8:15 pm. To mark the start of the season, the presenter will receive Gérard Depardieu in “TPMP” and has surrounded himself with new columnists.
With three different shows in a row, you become Monsieur Plus?
CYRIL HANOUNA. Take it or leave it was not expected to be successful when we launched the game on May 18th. There was a real enthusiasm (Editor's note: 1.1 million curious on average) , the advertisers came because it is a very family program. So what to do? "Don't touch my post" has been the blockbuster for eleven years (Editor's note: 1.3 million viewers on average until March) . As for "Balance your post!" », I receive requests every day from big columnists to come and discuss. This year we will have Rokhaya Diallo, Geoffroy Lejeune, Gaspard Gantzer among the new ones. With such a set, being shown once a week at 11 p.m. was frustrating. Gérald-Brice Viret (Editor's note: director of the Canal + group's branches) Then offered to do the three shows in a row.
Didn't you hesitate to continue?
No. I will have fun every day! Many viewers wanted “TPMP” to remain in entertainment while also finding social debates in “Balance your post! ". This will be the case this season. And we'll finish with the game. I'll go from one set to another, from one band to another. There will be three different universes, even in terms of clothing. I will have seven minutes to change during commercials. It will be a real marathon, especially for our teams. It's been a while since I was so excited for a comeback!
Will there be anything new in Take it or leave it?
Yes. We can see the banker and the candidate can make a counter-proposal. Finally, as long as the box of 250,000 euros does not fall, we will add 5,000 euros every day and, every Friday, we will play for an association. This week, it will be for the Grégory Lemarchal association.
No worries that viewers will get tired of seeing you?

I was afraid of this during confinement where I had four hours of air on my own from home. There, I'll do almost the same but with three shows, three mechanics, three teams, three different sets. The only thing that scares me is the weather. I will have to return the antenna at 9:15 p.m.!
"TPMP" will stop earlier. You let go of the battle with "Quotidien" and Yann Barthès on TMC?
We'll have a battle when I'm with "TPMP" between 7:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. Yann Barthès has always been in front of me, already when he was at the “Petit journal” on Canal +. “Daily” and “TPMP” are totally different offers for the public and that's fine! "Quotidien" is a news program that has nothing to do with a joking talk show like "TPMP" where viewers will find their family of columnists and newcomers like Patrice Laffont. I also want to nurture talents like comedians Patrick Chanfray and BenH, author Luigi Li.
Due to the epidemic, wearing the mask on a plateau would be possible?
If it's imposed, we'll follow the rules. It will be complicated. We are considering transparent masks.
No regrets to see Matthieu Delormeau leave?
Matthieu gave a lot. With him, I was at the show! But "TPMP" is a lot of pressure for columnists because they are forced to give their opinion every evening. Me, I put my two cents, I can let myself be carried away, because it is my character but I am here to reframe the debate. They are asked to take sides and this can then trigger violent comments. When Matthieu tells me he's had a blast but needs to breathe and decompress, I listen to him. There will always be a place for him.
Will Enora Despite come back?
No, not on "TPMP" but we have a project together for a program about rap. We stayed very close.
If "TPMP" returns to entertainment, over the slippages that have earned you to be in the sights of the CSA?
In eleven years, we have had three slip-ups on 2,500 programs. We do not say to ourselves that we are going to do a program so that there is a slippage. This season, "TPMP" will be fun, entertainment and media as people like the band to give their opinion on TV, even if the hosts or producers don't like it.
Animate "Balance your post!" », Is it a way of showing another image than that of the troublemaker?
A lot of people ask me to know what I think about such and such a subject, if I can advance another. My main role is to entertain, and that's 90% what I'm going to do, but I'm also going to try to get things done in "Balance your post!" ". Thus, I do not understand that there was not a Secretary of State for the animal cause: I will push, support the referendum for animals launched by Hugo Clément. The start of the school year will also be terrible at the economic and social level: we can perhaps help to help. Around the table, I wanted people at the heart of society: Olivier, the farmer and yellow vest, will come twice a week as well as a teacher in a high school, a cop. If we find solutions in a quarter of the programs, that will be a great reward.
There is already a lot of debate on TV. Isn't that an easy way out?
There are mainly on the news channels but which are little watched by the youngest. "Drop your post!" Is a vector to reach them. When we received Marlène Schiappa, we attracted more young people than when she appeared on France 2 the day before. Two years before the presidential election, we can interest them in different subjects and give them the keys. I am proud to contribute to it. I add that “Balance your post! Is a program now installed (750,000 faithful on average). In two seasons, we have received the yellow vests, angry France, several ministers, deputies, journalists, thinkers… Our set represents all the components of French society, all opinions and social classes… The debate on television, c is where it happens! When the show started, I read a lot of reviews. Some wanted to confiscate the debate, as if it were reserved for a few, on a few channels. This is precisely what society suffers from, the exclusion of people from the debate. This meeting opens it to all. I will fight to keep doing it! Let's stop this class contempt.
By throwing spikes at Arthur on his audiences via social networks in mid-August, are you pouring more into the playground?
I have known Arthur for a long time. It was a valve. When, I was young with my group of friends, we carted around and we were all united. Today, I have the impression that we can no longer say anything. Me, I am the first to make fun of my physique, of my failures. Arthur, I didn't quote him. If he hadn't answered me, it would have ended there. Young people see things 100 times more trashy on social networks.
You will not invite Arthur to co-host "Take it or leave it", which he had presented on TF 1?
No. It works great without it. I don't want to lower the audience! (laughs)
Still at war with TF 1?
It was not us who were at war with TF 1. It was TF 1 who was at war with us. In "TPMP", we promote their shows. When we love one, we say so.
While C8 is in deficit, have you lowered your claims by renewing your contract for three years this year?
We haven't moved. The most profitable access of all the chains is ours! And I think C8 will be balanced in two years.
A fashion collection with the Projet X brand, an amusement park project in Cannes… Do you diversify your activities?
Opening an amusement park on TV shows where you could come with your children to play “Koh-Lanta”, “Don't forget the lyrics” was just an idea. But, it would take years to mount and it represents colossal investments. If investors are interested they contact me because I would love to!
