You can’t please everyone and Patrick Sébastien knows it well. If he held his rank for several years on the public service, the ex-host of the “Greatest cabaret in the world” does not only have friends in his entourage. But some, who did not carry it in their hearts at the start, finally knew how to put their a priori aside. The proof, with Ariel Wizman. The journalist was indeed invited to Jordan de Luxe this Wednesday, May 17. The opportunity for the ex-columnist of Canal + to come back to the comments he made with regard to Patrick Sébastien.
To better understand the relationship between the two, Jordan de Luxe set out some tackles that Ariel Wizman may have had against the 69-year-old host. “I’m tired of hearing him complain all the time about being misunderstood. He’s been watching TV for centuries…”, he dropped in the past. It was in 2015, when he was invited on France Blue in the show “In retro”, that the journalist did not mince his words with regard to Patrick Sébastien. At the time, he also attacked the spectacle offered every “Saturday evenings” on France 2: “he offers a kind of rather vulgar spectacle, in a rather arrogant way”.

The bad image of Patrick Sébastien in the past
“His lesson-giver side, which makes political parties to explain things that everyone says to each other at the café du commerce… It has always annoyed me as an attitude!”, he blurted at the time. But today everything has changed. Indeed, facing Jordan de Luxe, the one who collaborated for a long time with Stéphane Bern in “8:10 p.m. sharp” on Canal +finally got to know his colleague.
“I find him very sympathetic, but it was not the case before and he knew it”he acknowledged before explaining: “I think there are plenty of people who can understand that… It’s that he was still the biggest host on France Télévisions, with the biggest show, the biggest budgets etc. And I heard him always complaining as if he were persecuted”.
Today, his preconceptions are behind him and Ariel Wizman even assures that “NOW, [il est] buddy with him”.
