Is there still water in the gas between Philippe Bouvard and Laurent Ruquier? In June 2023, the first explained on the set of At Jordan’s on C8, about the second, who succeeded him 10 years ago at Grosses têtes, on RTL: “I never listened. Never. Because I said to myself, if it’s good, it will hurt me and if it’s bad, it will hurt me too.”. And to add: “Laurent Ruquier, it’s nothing to me. I’ve really known more interesting people“. This December 6, 2023, the atmosphere was significantly calmer, on the occasion of his 94th birthday.
“We had difficult words sometimes“
During his today’s show, Laurent Ruquier called Philippe Bouvard on the phone to wish him a happy birthday. He told him: “‘Les Grosses têtes’ owes you the creation of this show, RTL is very proud to still have you on its channel and I myself have always been very proud to have succeeded you, even if we sometimes had difficult words towards each other, know in any case, and you know it very well, that you will forever remain one of my masters in this profession, Philippe Bouvard. So I thank you again for having created this show, which “was fun when I was young and which I am particularly proud to have taken up the torch for 10 years, 10 seasons already, almost. You have done them for 37 years”.
“We kiss you Philippe”
And Philippe Bouvard replied: “So I would still like to say that the torch, I have been holding it for 58 years, so it has become a little light, all the same, it is important to be able to intervene and maintain the confidence of the listeners, and the listeners well I embrace them, the listeners, one by one, it will make a lot of people.”
Opposite, Hugo Manos’ companion concluded, very consensual: “And they kiss you too, we kiss you Philippe”.
