One of the big crashes of Arthur’s career. On December 23, TF1 decided to deprogram the unreleased season 2 of “District Z” following the poor audiences recorded by the first two numbers. A terrible disappointment for the producer who had bet a lot on this program. But despite vain attempts to relaunch the program after a struggling first season, nothing worked and the show was canceled by the channel.
However, this failure is not the only one in the career of the host who regularly rages in “Friday everything is permitted”. Invited this weekend by Eric Dussart and Jade in “We’re redoing TV” on RTL, Arthur returned frankly to “his biggest hassle on television”. This is “Nice People”, a reality TV show he hosted in 2003 and broadcast for one season on TF1. “It was a European ‘Loft’ in which there were no Europeans. We had found them Porte de Picpus“, immediately quipped the ex-companion of Estelle Lefébure.
“We said to ourselves that we were going to bring in students from all over the world. We haven’t found them. So we found a guy in Bordeaux, we said he was Italian. ‘Do you have a Dutch grandmother? Come on, you’re Dutch. I always have the same fault, when I feel that things aren’t going to be good, I dress up! I make sumptuous decorations, I compensate”, he shared with humor. And to torpedo his ex program with panache: “It was a quagmire, the false good idea“. That’s cash!
