He made sarcasm his trademark, and tackle a profession. If Stéphane Guillon was not among the crowd of television stars, this March 9, in the Sainte-Clotilde basilica, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, for the funeral of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, the comedian did not miss to leave a message, on the web, about the event.
A critique of news channels
He who no longer works on television does not dispense with criticizing her. And he is particularly surprised by the “spectacle“that the news channels have been delivering continuously for a few months, between the Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. Thierry Ardisson’s former sniper therefore questioned himself on Tuesday about the results of such permanent coverage.

On Instagram, in story, he asked: “We wonder about this permanent info show interspersed with pages of advertising. It was the same during Covid-19. We wonder about the consequences on people’s morale? than the others. […] When the most tragic info gives way to bad reality TV. Heartbreaking”.
His tribute to Jean-Pierre Pernaut
The day after this acid observation, he also had a word for Jean-Pierre Pernaut whose funeral was broadcast on television this Wednesday. Without ever scratching the one who hosted the 1 p.m. news on TF1 for more than 30 years, he wrote on Twitter: “The war, broadcast non-stop on the news channels for ten days, the war stops for a few hours to broadcast the funeral of Jean-Pierre Pernaut. We will say what we want but Putin sometimes knows how to have a heart”.
A message that he surtitled with the mention “Priority to information…” And it was probably not understood in the same way by everyone… Indeed, if some were indignant at it, others laughed, when finally the last ones saw poetry in it.
The war, broadcast non-stop on the news channels for ten days, the war stops for a few hours to broadcast the funeral of #jeanpierrepernaut. We will say what we want but #Putin sometimes knows how to have a heart.
