Laurent Ruquier did not return to France Télévisions last September. After a reduced schedule by his management, he didn’t even have a bonus left to present, the TV host set sail. And if today, the television man prefers to evolve on RTL, Paris Premiere And BFMTV, it is because he was not treated at his fair value, as he explains and as confirmed by the man who shares his life.
“When your name is Laurent Ruquier, you deserve a little more consideration”
This is what Hugo Manos actually confided to Cyril Hanouna, this September 21 on the set of TPMP. Regular columnist in the flagship C8 show, Laurent Ruquier’s companion estimated: “What has struck me over the last few years is really the lack of communication between a channel and the one who, for me, is one of the pillars. The last few years on TV, if we put five names, there is Laurent Ruquier in there“.
Unfortunately, despite “the discovery of artists” and his “key shows”, who have “made the finest hours of France 2”, Laurent Ruquier was not “respected”assures his darling.
And for good reason, he says: “At the end of the previous season, I noticed that there was no call. Even a little coffee with your boss so that he could tell you: ‘You worked well this season, you did well audiences at Children of TV. Nothing at all!” And to add: “I don’t speak for Laurent, but we do a little end-of-season debrief with his flagship host. We tell him what projects we have, we are transparent with him because that’s the respect he deserves and in the occurrence, he did not have it […] I believe that when your name is Laurent Ruquier, you deserve a little more consideration.”
His plans for 2023-2024

every Wednesday in the second part of the evening on Paris Premiere and from October he will host the 8 p.m. – 9 p.m. slot of BFMTV.
