Ultimately, around 7:20 p.m., Cyril Hanouna was able to go on the air with his team of columnists present on the set. “We are on the air. We’re live, it’s nonsense. (…) Since 6:40 p.m., we have been waiting in the dressing room. I had to argue with people I didn’t give a damn about“, first joked the 47-year-old presenter. He then laughed at the fact that everything had jumped the day Isabelle Morini-Bosc made her comeback in the program. “There are a lot of people talking about a lot of things, i.e. attacks, cyberattacks, stuff from everywhere. (…) Everything went wrong, there I was told about micro-cuts. A priori, we are the victim of an attack. France 24 jumped, Spotify jumped. Know that it can jump at any time If it jumps again, we will be forced to stop the show“, he continued.
But viewers were able to notice major sound problems: sometimes nothing was audible, other times a sound less loud than usual (forcing Baba to take a microphone) was heard. There were also crackles that prevented the team from doing their job properly. “Every minute that passes is a minute of pain for our technicians. The director does not hear us. He doesn’t know who is talking so he doesn’t know who to film. We have a very big technical problem, know that. We don’t know, at this time, if you can hear us”, said the father of Bianca (11 years old) and Lino (9 years old). Despite his efforts, Cyril Hanouna had to resolve to go on air an hour later.
Close to his audience, the presenter took the time to stay with the people who came to TPMP as he revealed in a video on Instagram.
