We are going to take up the codes of the late show and try to give people a funny hour.”
Asked about the guests who will be present, the actor and director kicked in touch, only agreeing to reveal that Laurent Laffite, present at his side, will
“obviously”
participate in his new show.
And to conclude:
“There will be a musical guest every evening live.
Real live with real sound and in public.
But not at all live, we record it before.
There won't be hot news stuff but so much the better because I can't take any more of the news
