Thierry Ardisson is known for his outspokenness, and he fully claims it! “I take responsibility for everything I say. I say what I think”he confided in the columns of Parisian this Friday, December 15, 2023. Ready to fight, the man in black does not mince his words. All his TV friends take it for granted. Starting with Laurent Delahousse. “Delahousse’s Sunday show is the reign of the crowd. He seems very happy to chat with the actors. But he doesn’t wonder if there are viewers watching him ??”, he said before mentioning the “snobbery” of French cinema.

France Télévisions in the viewfinder of Thierry Ardisson
“Today, a 16-year-old child would not be intellectually nourished by public service. The mission of France Télé is not to be in front of TF 1, but to transmit knowledge and expertise. We must be the school of the people. I was offered a cinema show. I talked about my desire to highlight Fellini and Visconti more than Kad Merad. And I didn’t get the show”, he confided.
And to continue on the cultural offer of France Télévisions. “Putting the Chorégies d’Orange as a bonus every year and gaining a 2% market share is the exact opposite of what needs to be done. It’s punitive culture. So that culture on TV works, you have to mix Patrick Timsit, a girl with big breasts and Bret Easton Ellis. If the viewer doesn’t know Bret Easton Ellis, he will remember things. Television is like yogurt, you have to put small pieces of culture inside. A clear-cut opinion that risks getting people talking.
