Four-day journey, extreme temperatures at minus 30 degrees... The conditions of Jarry's
"Rendezvous in Unknown Land"
, broadcast Tuesday May 2 at 9:10 p.m. on France 2, proved to be particularly difficult.
It was in Greenland that
Raphaël de Casabianca
took the comedian a year ago to discover the Inughuit.
“
There were very few episodes in the great cold
”, recalls the presenter on the set of “Buzz TV” this Monday, May 1.
Before leaving,
Jarry
was hoping for a warm country because he “
loves being in his underwear all day
”.
Missed.
"
We slept in a tent in the middle of the ice floe with a rather disturbing thing, it was that there was never night
", still remembers Raphaël de Casabianca who did not sleep much during these three weeks of 'dispatch.
"
The brain is messed up.
We no longer know when to get up, what time it is.
We are lost and, when there is a snowstorm, we no longer see anything.
And that's where Jarry cracks up one morning.
He cracks so much that he loses his mind a little.
He called me by another first name!
The body and the mind have dropped
”, reveals the ex-host of “Echappées belles” on France 5.

Another difficulty: the polar cold.
To survive in these extreme conditions, it is recommended to eat six times a day.
“
At one point, Jarry forgot to eat and he passed out
,” recalls Raphaël de Casabianca, who then fed him fat so that he could withstand a sled ride.
Greenland is also a land of hunting, which goes against the convictions of the comedian.
Although the son of a hunter, he is very committed against this practice and is committed to marine biodiversity.
But in this country, it is a matter of survival.
“
We understood that, for them, hunting was not a hobby but a need to live.
If they didn't have bear skin on them, they would die of cold
,” adds Raphaël de Casabianca.
