Yesterday, Saturday October 1, Léa Salamé was at the helm of the second issue of her new program “Quelle époque!”, which she now presents alone on France 2 since Laurent Ruquier wished not to continue co-hosting in “On est live”. Last week, the first issue of “Quelle époque!” was distinguished by a nice launch with 1.10 million curious, or 17.4% audience share. Last night, the show did less well and had to settle for 940,000 viewers, or 13% of the audience. And among those who were probably not in front of their television set, we can cite Pascal Bataille who does not seem to have the journalist and host in his heart.
Guest of Chez Jordan, the program of Jordan De Luxe for Télé-Loisirs, the faithful long-time accomplice of Laurent Fontaine was not tender with Léa Salamé. “She’s everywhere, I don’t understand why! There are so many talented people who are not on the air. Why don’t we go and find Frédéric Taddeï who is a brilliant guy (…) who no longer does anything today. Instead of always giving voice and hours of air time to the same people who, honestly, do very mediocre stuff”, released the one who is back on C8 in “There is only the truth that counts”. If he insisted that there was nothing personal against her, Pascal Bataille reaffirmed that he did not understand why she was so much in the spotlight: “I still don’t understand, she’s surely a very nice girl. (…) But I don’t understand the interest it represents”, he asserted.
