On the set of his show Do not touch My TV on June 13, 2022, Cyril Hanouna debriefed election nights on television. Indeed, the day before took place the first round of the legislative elections and on France 2, the chain bet once again on the duo Laurent Delahousse and Anne-Sophie Lapix. If the former has all the tenderness and admiration of the presenter of TPMPthe second obviously does not have a special place in his heart.
At first, Cyril Hanouna launches a column that looks back on the blunders of Laurent Delahousse during the coverage of the results of the legislative elections. A sequence full of humor during which the host-star of C8 specifies that he adores this journalist and finds that we do not see him enough. He then continues on his collaborator Anne-Sophie Lapix, towards whom he is ruthless: “It’s a ‘tanasse'[expressioncoinedbyCyrilHanouna’Aretheygoingtoreleaseherfromthenewsornot?It’srumorswe’renotgoingtolieIlikeditbeforebutnowIdon’tknowSheleftinapeanutSheworshipsherselffornothing()Sheisnotzero()ButIfindthateachtimeshereceivesapoliticianthereisalackofrespect()That’snothowyou’regoingtosucceedingettingthemoutofthings[expressioninventéeparCyrilHanouna’IlsvontladégagerduJToupas?C’estdesrumeursonvapassementirJ’aimaisbienavantmaislàjesaispasElleestpartieencacahuèteEllesevénèrepourrien()Ellen’estpasnulle()Maisjetrouvequ’àchaquefoisqu’ellereçoitunpolitiqueilyaunmanquederespect()C’estpascommeçaquetuvasréussiràleurfairesortirdestrucs.”
Shortly after, his teams take care of whether Anne-Sophie Lapix will last or not on France 2 and send him the information. The presenter of the 8 p.m. newspaper on France 2 has indeed been renewed for a year with the channel. The cathodic television specialist experienced a tense spring professionally, culminating in the debate between the two rounds and the veto of Marine Le Pen. The former presidential candidate had clearly said that she did not want Anne-Sophie Lapix to host her, finding her too hostile to her party. As for Emmanuel Macron, if he never wanted to blacklist it, some of his collaborators find it too declining.
A pugnacious interviewer, the wife of powerful businessman Arthur Sadoun is not unanimous, but she has the full support of her hierarchy. Delphine Ernotte, president of the France Télévisions group, was categorical in the pages of Telerama : “She does a 20 hours of which I am proud. The question of his departure does not arise. I am lucky to have a freelance journalist, and no one will impose someone on me. She will be there at the start of the school year, if she wishes of course, we haven’t discussed it yet. Criticisms only reinforce it.”
