This is the event of this television season. This Saturday, September 24 on France 2, Léa Salamé, accompanied by Christophe Dechavanne and humorist Philippe caverivière, inaugurates the new evening talk show “Quelle époque!”. A box previously occupied by “We are live”, which the journalist co-hosted with Laurent Ruquier. If the appointment is fixed from 11:25 p.m., it is no longer live this time. We will find, among the guests, Yann Moix, Laurence Ferrari, Jean-Paul Rouve or even… Jean-Luc Mélenchon. However, the latter has, in recent times, been very rare in the media. Since precisely the scandal of the Quatennens affair… surprised by his presence on the set of this premiere, Philippe Vandel questioned the duo of animators on this subject at the microphone of his program “Culture Médias” broadcast on Europe 1, this Friday 23 September: “How did you convince him to come on the set?” “She slept”, immediately loose Christophe Dechavanne. Hilarious, Léa Salamé resumes: “I slept”, before adding, laughing: “I slept with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, I wanted to tell you, that’s how I got him for the first!”
“Of course I was scared”
Picking up the serious thread of the discussion, the journalist explains the behind-the-scenes reality of the LFI leader’s invitation: “The truth is that we had launched it long before all that (the Quatennens scandal, editor’s note), we launched it at the end of the summer (…) I think he wants to talk, I think Mélenchon likes to do the premieres, unlike others who are waiting to see if it’s good to come etc. He likes to take risks. Quite honestly, I knew he was coming two weeks ago so we were already very happy to have him. It is true that with the Quatennens affair, there will be an even greater stake. the visit of the president of LFI to the premiere of “Quelle Époque!” : “Of course I was afraid that he would cancel, I’m not going to lie to you, I was afraid that he would cancel when the Quatennens affair broke out a week ago, I said to myself: ‘ Is he going to go?’ We called his press officer who told us: ‘He’s maintaining, he’s going.'” A relief for this launch which will have already caused a lot of ink to flow.
