The news fell early in the day on Cyril Hanouna’s Twitter account: very unwell, the host said he was not able to ensure the presentation of TPMP on C8. “My darlings, it is death in the soul that I announce to you that I will not be on the air tonight. 1st time in 10 years that I have missed my meeting with you. But there unfortunately I am much too ill to be able to provide the direct. I love you very much and I will come back soon“, did he declare.
In an emergency, the channel therefore had to find a fallback solution and a person to host the show on December 2, 2021 in which the comedian Gad Elmaleh is invited. For the exercise, C8 chose one of the program’s iconic columnists. It is in fact Valérie Bénaïm who will ensure the presentation of Touche pas at my post exceptionally. For this close friend of Cyril Hanouna, this is not really a great first, since she presented the show for several seasons. It’s just TV, which aired just before TPMP.
Benjamin Castaldi explains to viewers what Cyril Hanouna is suffering from
In the traditional 6 to 7 which precedes today the famous talk-show, Benjamin Castaldi returned with Ludivine Rétory and Jean-Michel Maire on the show of the day before. But the former companion of Flavie Flament also took the opportunity to explain to TPMP fans why Cyril Hanouna would be absent. No worries for fans of the flagship host of C8: according to Simon Castaldi’s dad, he would be affected by “a big bronchitis”. It is not known for the moment when the latter will resume his place at the helm of the show. Lately, the program has in any case achieved high scores of audiences, exceeding, on the second part, regularly the 1.5 million faithful and following its great rival from TMC, Day-to-day.
