The story will have lasted 25 years. During all these years, Patrick Sébastien made the heyday of France Televisionsnotably with his famous show The Biggest Cabaret in the World. But in 2019, the beautiful story ends and the group thanks him. A decision he does not accept and which even pushes him to file a complaint against his ex-employer. The host points to a decision made because he is “a white man over 50”.
But today, what about their relations? If the water flows under the bridges, the dam seems strong between Patrick Sébastien and France Televisions. Invited to Jordan de Luxe, the one who considers Michel Drucker as a caricature still does not seem to have swallowed the pill. “I let their stuff do its thing, I don’t watch their shows. I watch TPMP, I watch stuff that amuses me like Netflix. And I watch rugby”, he assures. Faced with the journalist, he goes even further and assures that the group would have blacklisted him.
Patrick Sébastien and France Télévisions, from love to hate
“That is to say that on France Télévisions, you can have a criminal, a dealer, a pimp… but I don’t”he explains before assuring that there would be “orders”. Patrick Sébastien advances arguments to support his remarks and takes the example of his absence in C to you to present his work. “I sent a note to Anne-Elisabeth [Lemoine] because I like it. She said, ‘No, no, you’re not blacklisted. I’m taking care of it’. That was about a month ago.”he takes as an example and to prove that he would not be welcome in a public service broadcast.
Despite everything, Patrick Sébastien does not want Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, quite the contrary. “It’s not her fault. They have orders”he laments before telling a strange anecdote: “I have a few friends who are journalists at France 3. When we went to the regions, they said to me: ‘We’re going to do a report on Le Cabaret’. We banned them. I don’t blame them. It’s people who don’t like me and who don’t like the public I represent”.
