It was already four years ago: Patrick Sébastien lowered the curtain of Largest cabaret in the worldafter more than twenty years of good and loyal service for France 2. The host joined Julien Lepers and Tex on the bench of those dismissed from the public service, and did not hesitate, at the time, to settle scores with all those who performed the public service. Apart from the numerous attacks he made on Delphine Ernotte, the CEO of France Télévisions, and on Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, number 2, the 69-year-old singer also vehemently attacked Nagui, to whom he criticized an omnipresence which, according to him, was lacking in other animators, who would pick up the crumbs. In an interview given to FigaroPatrick Sébastien attacked his colleague, to whom he blamed “(to have) everything”to the detriment of other presenters and producers working for the public service: “Today, Nagui has everything. He is a producer of shows all day long and since he is in charge, if he filmed his brother riding a bike, he would get a bonus!” he had condemned.

An omnipresence that Nagui, the main person concerned, contests with the greatest firmness, recalling that the hosts and producers are all in an ejection seat : “You have no privileges in this profession, as long as it works you are on the air, when it no longer works, you are no longer on the air“ he declared to our colleagues at Pure Media this Friday, October 13, 2023. The 61-year-old host wanted to point out, rightly, that he had also experienced the pain of being thanked by his employer, and that he had done everything to bounce back, without s ‘take on one’s peers:’When I was fired, I didn’t report other animators saying why him and not me? I worked to come back better. I’m working on branching out because I’ll be fired again at some point. As long as I am driven by this cerebral youth, I will continue but I will be mechanically stopped by the ax either of the audience or of a management”. Atmosphere…
