Last June, TF1 recorded a new show carried by Arnaud Ducretcalled Arnaud Ducret in all its forms. On the giant stage installed on the beaches of Mourillon in Toulon, the actor and humorist mixed sketches and reinterpretations of fiction for which many of his artist friends participated. Michaël Youn notably made the show on stage. The one who gave the reply to Arnaud Ducret in the film Divorce Club for the occasion came out his Fatal Bazooka costumethis rapper character with whom he had met with great success in the early 2000s. He thus appeared to slap Arnaud Ducret in front of the public, a direct reference to Will Smith’s outburst of anger towards Chris Rock during the last Oscars ceremony .
Fatal Bazooka then justified his gesture by the fact that Arnaud Ducret had invited him to go to Toulouse and not Toulon. The joke then took a more risque turn when the host’s wife, Claire Francisci, was brought up. “Luckily your wife Claire sent me a message with a picture of her ass… Oh that’s ok, she’s a friend’s wife, I haven’t looked! I didn’t see that she was on all fours on the bed. And there precisely, what do I see behind her, when I’m not looking? Cushions with marked ‘Hotel Toulon'”, dropped Michaël Youn in the face of a falsely shocked Arnaud Ducret.
The latter had of course prepared this sketch with his friend. On the other hand, from behind the scenes, his wife, an expert in pole dancing, discovered him at the same time as the public. “I knew about it, but my wife didn’t! When she saw the sketch, she told me that I could have warned her… But anyway, my wife wouldn’t be with me if she didn’t have a sense of humor! She just called us sick“said Arnaud Ducret for Entertainment TV. No question then for Claire Francisci to be offended, she who knows Michaël Youn well since he is “a family friend“.
The show Arnaud Ducret in all its forms brought together 2.57 million people behind their screens, or 14.3% of the public, in the first part of the evening. Then, 1.70 million viewers were counted. A great audience which places the show on the second step of the podium, beaten by a short head by the essential Tandem on France 3.
