Is TF1 sinking Camille Combal?
This is the question that arises this Wednesday on the set of "Do not touch my post!".
A particular question when we remember that the current star host of TF1 officiated before on C8.

“I am not jealous of Camille. I went to look for him when he was on W9 at the time, he was starting up, ”
recalls Cyril Hanouna, when he himself left France 4 for the channel still called Direct 8. The host of “TPMP” even reveals that he pressured the channel to hire Camille Combal for a daily column on his show, imposing this condition before signing his own contract.
Thus began their collaboration.
"Games on TF1 are not the career I want to have"
But rumors that TF1 wants to hire Combal to host "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and "Dancing with the Stars" begin to circulate in 2018. Cyril Hanouna continues to tell:
"I'll let you think, but if you want to host “Who wants to be a millionaire” and “Dancing with the stars” tell me, frankly I can understand”
.
We know the rest of the story since Camille Combal will arrive on the first channel at the start of the school year that same year.
However, at the time, Combal would have held a speech contrary to his accomplice who reports his words:
"games on TF1, it is not the career that I want to have"
.
The latter will learn the news from an article in Le Parisien, without any further explanation.
“I didn't even call him, it ended like that.
I never got it on the phone,”
he says before confiding:
“I don't have rage, but I tell you it hurt me.
When I worked on a talent for years and I see what TF1 is doing with it today... I preferred the Camille who was there a hundred times over, who did things that were exceptional and who showed his true talent rather than to see him on TF1 reading a teleprompter and doing “La grande encruste” which was neither done nor to be done last night”
.
The other columnists then give their impressions of the evolution of Camille Combal's career.
“Why is he wasting it?
You don't know what he's doing anymore,”
wonders Gilles Verdez.
“He deserves so much better,”
adds Cyril Hanouna.
After TF1's poor score last night with the second issue of "La Grande Incruste" which entertained 2.3 million viewers, far behind France 3 which broadcast the TV movie
Bellefond
with Stéphane and M6 which launched season 17 of "La France has an incredible talent”, the analysis is without appeal:
“When I see Camille crashing, it does not make me happy.
It's all the work of six years that is wasted
