Exit France 2 and BFMTV.
Laurent Ruquier will appear in the coming weeks on TF1 in the show “Mask Singer”.
If the TV host had already, in the past, donned the costume of guest investigator for an evening, for this new season it is indeed a permanent position that he will occupy.
And this news does not delight everyone.
Starting with Cyril Hanouna who said at the start of the year that this show was
“the last step before unemployment”
.

Invited on the set of “Touche pas à mon poste” this Tuesday, February 20, Laurent Ruquier has clearly not forgotten his colleague’s comments and intends to address the subject.
“I know you talked about it but I started recording
“Mask Singer” ,
”
he mentions when listing his news.
Faced with this nice dig, Cyril Hanouna cannot help but justify himself by claiming to have explained himself to the person concerned.

“I’m having the time of my life”
He still goes on to ask him the reasons why Ruquier accepted the TF1 show.
“Because I don’t have exclusivity and because I’m with friends.
Kev Adams, Chantal Ladesou and Inès Reg
,” he explains before adding:
“I told myself, seeing the investigators for several seasons, that it was a job that I could do.
Where I could have fun because I like to improvise, mess around, guess who the characters are
. ”
Despite the enthusiasm of the new investigator, Cyril Hanouna does not budge:
“for me it is the worst program of the PAF.
“It’s some nameless shit
. ”
Laurent Ruquier spares his suspense to make him change his mind by declaring:
“there is a real international star.
I can't say the name, I'm not allowed.
Frankly, there are levels this year [...] I'm having fun like crazy

One thing is certain, this is a 360-degree turnaround for the television man who just two months ago presented a current affairs program on a 24-hour news channel.
“During the bonuses, because we still have three or four to film, I told myself that I would still have had an unusual TV season.
I would still have been at 8 p.m. on BFM for three months and then investigating to find out who is in the hippopotamus in the pink tutu.
I think that, in one year, it’s not bad
,” says Laurent Ruquier with a smile.
