They are both making a late TV comeback. This Monday, September 25, 2023, Laurent Ruquier will take its first steps on BFMTV, at the head of a brand new segment of information and debate that he will co-present every day of the week with Julie Hammett, between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Laurence Boccolini will have to wait until next Sunday October 8 to begin her first season at the Children of TV on France 2. The host, resigned from the game Everyone wants to take its place (since hosted by Jarry), has chosen to remain on the public service, and will be at the helm of Sunday entertainment on France 2, replacing his colleague Laurent Ruquier, who, at 60, chose to throw everything away to take a completely new turn in his already busy career.
In an interview given this Monday to Tele-Leisure, Laurence Boccolini wanted to defend his colleague, and to congratulate his courage in leaving a house with which he had worked for more than two decades: ”Laurent does what he wants. He has nothing more to prove. He is a sensitive person and when we no longer feel loved, it’s like in a couple, we leave each other. You don’t have to be bitter and regretful. It’s important to remain realistic and tell ourselves that we are all replaceable” recalled the host, before subtly tackling the direction of France Televisionsto whom she seems to reproach for not having been able to keep Laurent Ruquier : ‘I think you need to be loved as a presenter’‘.

She left TF1 tired of being under-exploited
With these words, Laurence Boccolini can also target the direction of TF1, a channel that she left in 2018 after nearly twenty years of good and loyal service. Tired of only animating The Great Competition and to no longer have any other proposition except Big Bouncea trampoline competition that she co-presented with Christophe Beaugrand, and I’m a celebrity, get me out of herefilming with Christophe Dechavanne more than perilous, Laurence Boccolini ended up leaving the private channel to return to the public service, which offered him the animation of Password and D’One word can hide another, two games broadcast in the morning. A bold choice, which the 60-year-old host does not regret, since she is also present on numerous occasions as a bonus, with The French’s Favorite Comedians, Eurovision, and soon The Grand Contest of the French.
