Several years after having almost disappeared from the radar, Christophe Dechavanne surprised everyone at the start of the 2022 school year. In particular when he announced his return to a public service program, in prime time during the weekend. But above all, it was his “moving” that surprised the most. Indeed, the animator left TF1, with whom he has collaborated since 1989, to join Léa Salamé and France 2 in the show what a time.
The two ensure the show which involves politicians and personalities followed on social networks and the result is without appeal. Despite some spats, the show recorded an average of 1.2 million viewers and a 16% market share, What an era! do better thanWe are live, with Laurent Ruquier, last season as noted by our colleagues from TV 2 Weeks. The media was also able to question the duo on this success that Léa Salamé judges as “miraculous”. “It’s a miracle! Not to mention that the show is also very caught up in replay, with around 150,000 views”she rejoiced before adding: “I did not expect this success. Christophe will laugh at me because he will tell me again that I am watching the audience too closely”.
Christophe Dechavanne rejected for his ideas?
Moreover, the recently single animator passed from TF1 To France 2 does not miss the opportunity to make fun of his sidekick on this subject: “I yell at her a bit because she’s freaking out. Me, I’ve never got up at 9 a.m. to look at the numbers. As long as the show is good, it’s not a big deal”. And if Christophe Dechavanne doesn’t worry that much, it’s also because he has the experience to take things in perspective. Like the critics elsewhere.
Indeed, our colleagues wanted to know if the tackles received touched the ex-acolyte of Patrice Carmouze. “I was not used to it”, he admitted. However, he had a complicated period during which criticisms were pouring out on him. “When I came out politically on the air, we understood that I was not really on the right”he recalled before revealing that people who “liked him” then began to “to hate.” “It was extraordinary! But now it’s slipping…” he finally concluded, proud to have passed this stage.
