The Unknowns are back on TV! This Monday, November 14, TF1 is broadcasting a program entitled All Unknown, which is a fiction in which about sixty comedians, actors and singers will re-enact the cult sketches of the comic trio. Nikos Aliagas, Claudio Capéo, Camille Combal, Arnaud Ducret, Pierre Palmade, M. Pokora, Soprano, JoeyStarr, Christophe Willem or the footballer Adil Rami participate in this project in particular.
“It’s not copy-paste, but a tribute… Our sketches are a bit like hits, people have appropriated them“, made a point of specifying Pascal Légitimus, before the diffusion. “It’s very disturbing: on the one hand, it’s pleasant, and at the same time, you feel dispossessed”, noted Didier Bourdon on his side. Could this fiction be an opportunity for the three comedians to reform their mythical trio on stage?
What a bastard my brother
Bernard Campan is undoubtedly the most reluctant to this idea. “Doing sketches again today would be too difficult. At best, we would say ‘It’s just as good’. But this job, we do it to do things better” he judged, he who, as a reminder, has not always lived in the joy and good humor that emanate from the sketches offered by Les Inconnus. Everything was not rosy in his childhood, as he explained in February 2015 in front of Philippe Vandel in his show Everything and its opposite on France Info.
His older brother, François, was indeed very hard on him. And that’s the least we can say:He wanted to kill me. Not joking. That’s what he said. He made a lot of allusions. He expressed his displeasure very harshly with me in my early childhood. He told me ‘It sucks what you’re saying…’ My lack of confidence comes a lot from that too. What a bastard my brother, f***“, had told Bernard Campan, who therefore subsequently used humor as an escape to emancipate himself from this sad reality.
