What, already Yann Moix.
TV is really a very small world.
For the premiere of Léa Salamé at the head of “Quelle époque!
“, which takes over the late-night slot of Laurent Ruquier on France 2, his former sniper teammate from “We are not lying” is one of the first to sit around the table, after Christophe Dechavanne, Hello again, and comedian Philippe Caverivière, who will have their napkin ring alongside the host.
Late-night Saturdays had become connected to La Deux with Thierry Ardisson and “Everyone talks about it” (1998-2006), which set up the box.
What a lot of laughter and "Magnéto Serge", still cult.
Then we didn't talk about it anymore and Laurent Ruquier took a very long sequel with “We are not lying” (2006-2020), followed by a shorter “We are live”.
By making less and less of an event as young and old audiences turned to platforms.

Yann Moix came out of his hinges as soon as Dechavanne made a joke during a Chinese portrait, responding in place of the writer, if he was a woman, blowing "young".
Moix, who seemed very tired and nervous, took the fly straight for a hazy focus on the difference between "sex desire" and "respect."
Léa Salamé cleared the mines quickly.
At the beginning, the valves thrown here and there made the seized noise of a motor not unbridled.
Is Dechavanne the sniper?
Léa Salamé sent him to the fire to ask Moix a serious question about his relationships with women.
"I was very shocked by something," the former "Hello, it's us" star said.
The first guest, in his new novel, wishes the death of all his family including his grandmother.
But why so much hate?
Moix reminded Dechavanne of his childhood abuse and confessed with deep humility: "I still have a lot of work to do before I come close to Kafka."
No kidding.
We found ourselves waiting for Mélenchon, “the midnight guest”.
At least he doesn't pretend to be modest.
“Why does Zelensky put on too small t-shirts?

But before this main course, another supposedly spicy appetizer with Laurence Ferrari, whose arrival at the head of the political service of Paris Match caused controversy, after the dismissal of his predecessor by the big boss Vincent Bolloré.
Between Léa Salamé and her, we are among powerful women above all.
Ferrari still dares to say to “Léa” that the latter asks him a question that one would not ask a man.
The former queen of the JT of TF1 does not offer the slightest hold, not the slightest real answer, and especially not on the right-handed drifts of C News and Europe 1, where she also officiates.
Dechavanne is therefore in charge of unpleasant questions, but we are not going to argue with each other either.
First general laugh when Laurence Ferrari says she would like to interview Joe Biden and he retorts "Hurry up".
At 64, it's good to make fun of a near-octogenarian.
In the audience, comedian Paul de Saint-Sernin, another pillar of the talk show, does his job well: keep it short, make people laugh quickly and well.
👑 "His state of health is stable."

Philippe Caverivière, the real revelation of the show for those who did not yet know Nicolas Canteloup's favorite author, was very good on the queen: “It's still a little old woman in a box.
She's not going to do a loop, granny.
A week of bagpipes and coffin, it's beautiful but it's long”.
It was all insanely funny.
The show had finally started.
Humor is a profession.
“Why is Putin bluffing but above all why does Zelensky put on too small T-shirts?
With him, everyone finally relaxed.
Even Yann Moix wiped tears of laughter.
It's good to laugh together.
In a football team, it seems, Caverivière, essential piston, accelerator of the game.
Mélenchon's explanations
12:12 am, “The midnight guest”, Mélenchon, sits down.
This is the event.
Finally we will see.
The boss of the Insoumis and the united left finds that Jean-Paul Rouve's dog would be better at home than on the guest table.
"But you have an opinion on everything, you," rebukes the actor, seated next door.
We don't laugh anymore.
It is Dechavanne who interviews the leader of the left.
Mélenchon unrolls, which is not the spirit here.
We see Rouve with her eyes closed, suddenly melancholy, tenderly stroking her dog.
And Dechavanne suddenly corners Mélenchon on his past positions on Ukraine.
Who defends himself for a long time.
Rouve looks dreamy.

To a question from Salamé, he replies frankly: “Europe should have reacted earlier.
When Putin invaded Crimea”.
He speaks shorter and clearer than his neighbor.
Already almost half an hour of interview with the leader of Nupes, and the real piece of the butcher, the controversy over his support for the deputy of his party Adrien Quatennens, who admitted domestic violence, is not yet on the table .
What is called a tunnel.
We lose track and it's late.
Finally comes the question of his tweet, at 0:33.
For him, "it's incidental", and he highlights his "feminism".
What comes back in his long justification is “that a handrail must not leak”.
He asks if “you want the whole of France to get involved in the divorce from Adrien Quatennens?

The eldest wishes his younger brother, "the most brilliant of our spokespersons", his "return to political life" when the divorce is pronounced.
The old lion will have especially convinced of his admiration for "this very brilliant young man, our most brilliant spokesman, who punished himself".
Léa Salamé, on this affair, will have been pugnacious, but it was impossible to move the politician.
What anger in this man, “Prevented for half a tweet”, he said, from talking about his protest march on October 16.
Conclusion: everyone on the set seemed exhausted after 42 minutes of interview, starting with himself who was panting.
Caverivière is back, the smiles too.
Saturday evening on France 2 always drools over Sunday morning.
Still a record length to wait for "Le Sexe Club" at 1h33.
The columnist Camille Aumont Carnel does not understand an intervention by Christophe Dechavanne.
“Smile, he made a valve”, Léa Salamé room.
We're waking up.
Finally, it veers a bit to the Screen Files on Pornography.
“The penetrating reports”, at 1:39, must follow, then comes the “feminist and inclusive porn”.
At 1:40 a.m., Léa Salamé launches "It's already over".
"Already", do not push.
