Summary :

Close to the yellow vests movement, he regularly stands as a spokesperson for the "people". But his humor is getting worse and worse with part of the audience. In February 2019 after its joke narrating the rape of a patient by a doctor, the Superior council of audio-visual had received 1500 reports.
