In August 2021, Laurence Boccolini took control of the show “Everyone wants to take their place” on France 2… in order to replace Nagui. Going after the emblematic animator was not easy since the viewers had of course gotten used to his way of hosting the game. Thus, several months after his arrival on the channel, Laurence Boccolini was still facing criticism viewers.
“She is cutesy and infantilizing with the candidates, she yells and sings louder than the excerpt broadcast to check the correct answer, and brings everything back to herself”, “This game has clearly deteriorated since Laurence’s arrival because her behavior is painful: does she need to shout like that? It’s a shame. I preferred Nagui and his professionalism“, for example, we could read on social networks.
What push her to speak on the airwaves of Sud Radio: “It’s incredible how they try to reach me. We say to ourselves: if you don’t like me as a host, I can understand, but why attack me on everything else? That was difficult the first month.
This Sunday, June 25, 2023, Laurence Boccolini has finally announced his departure from the show, after only two seasons. “After reflection and numerous exchanges with the channel and the production, I made the decision not to continue hosting the game Everybody wants to take their place at the start of the school year. It was a very beautiful two-year adventure, where I was able to live wonderful moments with so many candidates. This exercise fills me with joy every time. I will keep very good memories, and I would like to thank the production and the entire technical team for their kindness, his professionalism and kindness” declared the host of 60 years to our colleagues from Puremédias.
