The hour of the development has come for Cyril Hanouna.
"This weekend, TF1 was in total panic
," he said after the channel published a press release denying the figures put forward by the presenter of "Touche pas à mon poste".

As a reminder, he had affirmed "from a reliable source" that a program costs 500,000 euros, including 100,000 for the guests.
“When I say 100,000 to the guests, it's very simple.
When they bring in a band from Los Angeles, it costs them a lot of money.
[...] They do not travel in second guys, they do not go to the hotel stage so necessarily it costs money
, "he defends himself before adding:
" A Jean Dujardin, he does not
is not paid, that's for sure.
There may be a small expense but in any case all the people who come to dance, who come to sing are paid, and they are guests, ”
he arranges.

The second allegation that the Front page refutes relates to the total cost of a show.
“There they have just denied saying that it was 250,000 euros per issue.
I think it's 500,000 a day.
Afterwards, I don't know if they shoot one or two shows a day.
Maybe they shoot two a day, but I'm telling you my information was therefore correct since it's 500,000 a day.
I had perhaps forgotten to specify that it was the day
, falls it like a cat on its paws.
"It's an industrial disaster"
On the other hand, the star presenter of C8 no longer advances to give figures.
"Do your math, how much does it cost, how much can it cost"
.
He also wants to let it be known that no war has been declared between the two channels.
The host defends himself by claiming to be a media program:
"We give information [...] But 250,000 per program is already enormous"
.
A half-word mea-culpa?
Absolutely not.
Cyril Hanouna takes the opportunity to, once again, point the finger at the hearings that he considers catastrophic.
“We are not going to lie to each other, the most important thing is the audience.
Me, I don't care if it works or not, I don't give a damn, I'm not in front.
But there it is 800,000 on TF1,
it's an industrial disaster
but what drives me crazy is the communication around it.
In his long monologue, Cyril Hanouna makes a dash of humor and practices the comparison by affirming that when the success of one of his programs is not there, he says so.
“
Them, they are in denial”
, criticizes Cyril Hanouna.
Its columnist, Guillaume Genton, takes the opportunity to add a layer.
"They want to communicate on successes, it's old TV"
.
