He hosted French evenings for many years with Questions for a champion. However, in 2016, Julien Lepers was thanked by France Televisions well in spite of himself. “I had given everything and I was thrown out of the blue”he lamented to our colleagues from the Parisian last weekend, disappointed not to have been invited to the broadcast of 10,000e number of the mythical game of France 3 on Saturday October 29th.
The host assures him, he has never been “informed” of this anniversary episode of the game of which he nevertheless ensured the animation of the “8800 of these 10,000 numbers”. For him, his departure is the decision of the president of France TelevisionsDelphine Ernotte “newly arrived” at the time. He also considers that, like Patrick Sébastien and William Lemeygie before him, having been a victim of his status “white man over 50″. If he claims to have today “turn the page”he nevertheless admits that he does not “watch neither Samuel Étienne nor the new version of the game”. The page may have been turned, but it remains in spite of everything across the throat and that can be understood.
Julien Lepers never watched “Questions for a champion” again
The new host of “Questions for a champion”, meanwhile, does not seem to have any problems with Julien Lepers. And this even if he would earn much less than the ex-host of the game of France 3. Guest last week by Eric Dussart on RTL for “We redo the TV”the one who also owns a Twitch channel spoke without taboo of the salary he received to animate the program of the channel of the group.
“I earn a third of what Julien earned”he revealed before assuring that this was more than enough for him and that he had “more than enough to live on”. Regarding the income of his Twitch channel, Samuel Etienne confided that “it’s not financially comparable to Franceinfo or Questions pour un champion, but it’s still not far from it”.
