On June 3, 2022, Laurent Ruquier created a surprise by announcing that he was leaving the presentation ofWe are live. Not content to share the set with Léa Salamé, the famous animator had preferred to drop everything rather than continue to co-present his show with the journalist. “I did not want to stop the show, I wanted to no longer present it to two. And as the channel preferred Léa Salamé, I left. It was not my decision to bring her into the show last season”he had notably confided in the columns of Cinema-TV-Review before discussing his relationship with the companion of Raphaël Glucksmann. “It’s up to her to call me if she wants advice. I’m not mad at her. But I didn’t understand her saying I didn’t call her. Why should I do that I have no reason”.
In an interview given to TV 2 Weeks February 4, 2023, Léa Salamé also spoke about the tensions between her and her former colleague. “I don’t know what to tell you, we haven’t spoken to each other again… But you’ll never hear me say anything bad about Laurent. I don’t know if he would like that idea.”

According to the latest statements by Laurent Ruquier, the latter obviously has no intention of trying the co-presentation experience again. Interviewed by the Sunday newspaper this Sunday, April 9, 2023, the companion of Hugo Manos also took the opportunity to give his opinion on the program hosted by Léa Salamé. “I only saw excerpts from it. The show by Léa Salamé and Christophe Dechavanne is a great success with the audience. But I would like to have had the same help from the channel when we were doing We are live both last years, that is to say not having a TV movie in front of me on France 3 rather than opera like today”. Bitter words.
