The atmosphere was as usual, this Tuesday, April 4, 2023, in a good mood in the recording studio of Big heads on RTL. Laurent Ruquier, – who also announced this Sunday, April 9 in the columns of JDD having signed the animation of this cult program until 2027-, was surrounded by Rachel Kahn, Darie Boutboul (ex jokey and member of the first hour of the show) but also comedians like Jeanfi Janssens, Titoff, Fabrice Eboué and Jean-Marie Bigard. And while the host reminds the latter of their two collaborations on sketches, he asks him if he has already collaborated with Pierre Palmade. He responds bluntly: “of course, we wrote the very famous bat…’ before being cut by Titoff: “by car !” a joke in bad taste that makes the assembly laugh and encouraged by Fabrice Eboué who launches: “the hitchhiker sketch”.

“Two hours later, nothing! The blank page, the black hole!”
Laurent Ruquier revives Jean-Marie Bigard: “What sketch was it?” And the comedian to respond: “Well my famous bat!” And to tell the backstage of its creation: “It was extraordinary because I arrive at Pierre’s because we are supposed to be working, he is on the computer and I tell him: ‘I heard on the radio this morning that we had a one in 10 million chance of getting bitten by a rabid bat’. Pierre types the sentence on the computer. Two hours later, nothing! The blank page, the black hole! After two hours, we said to ourselves ‘come on, we’re going to have a drink and it’ll come back when it comes back’ and when I went back to the computer I said to him: ‘Hey, we’ve already worked well! And I reread the sentence ‘we would have a chance in 10 million of being bitten by a rabid bat’ and I add ‘I would like to know how the guy did to determine that we all had on average a chance in 10 million of being bitten. We sit down and two hours later we wrote the word ‘end’ on this sketch that made me famous. A great story, right? Rachel Kahn then laughs nervously… “it’s the tone, it’s a great story… uh yes, I agree” she explains, surely embarrassed to mention Pierre Palmade, indicted since the terrible accident he caused on February 10. And Jean-Marie Bigard to throw him a “I advise you to abandon this somewhat aggressive tone that you have adopted with me…” to disarm, in a joking tone, the embarrassment of the politician and former high-level sportswoman.
