Did you say corny? Probably not for Cyril Féraud. The 38-year-old animator who makes the good days of France Télévisions, in particular with the game “Slam”, gives an appointment to the French this Friday, May 5. No, he will not host a special bonus of his game broadcast at 4:35 p.m., Monday to Friday on France 2, but the second edition of a competition dear to his heart: “Grand competition of the regions: What will be the best folk dance of France ?”
Questioned by our colleagues from Puremedia this Friday, May 5, Cyril Féraud wanted to demonstrate that this program was nothing out of the ordinary, quite the contrary. And if the question was asked, it is simply because the term is used in the program’s trailer, as our colleagues remind us. “In the show’s trailer, you can hear, ‘No, folk dances aren’t cheesy!'” they asked the host.

His “cheesy” show? Not for Cyril Féraud
“You only have to watch five minutes of the program to realize that it’s not corny”he defends himself before however acknowledging that the port of “hooves”the fact that they “walk on stilts or are dressed in period outfits” may suggest otherwise. But the one who took a slap on the show “Family Duels” recalls, however, that the participants make “somersaults, hyperphysical and impressive lifts”. And that, “It’s not easy for everyone”.
What really appeals to the host is the “transmission from generation to generation” what we see on this show. This thanks to the dances shared between the “5 or 6 year olds super proud to dance with dad, mum, grandpa and grandma”. All this emotion transmitted means that at no time “you think it’s corny”he assures.
The animator loyal to seniors, who give him back very well
In the rest of his interview, the host recently tackled the animation of the show “100% logic” wished to evoke the emotion that the program transmits to him. “I who come from Provence, seeing the dances and Provençal costumes every year moves me”he confides.
Aware that he won’t touch “young people” with his help, Cyril Féraud is not worried. He knows very well that he and his teams are not doing this show “to seek to rejuvenate anything”.
For him, to tell himself that he must “absolutely rejuvenate the audience and it’s almost shameful to make a program that is aimed at the over 60s”would not “understanding how television works today”. A more than acceptable idea, when we observe the excellent audiences each time achieved for the programs he hosts.
