New generation TF1 displeases some. Camille Combal, the new presenter of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? replacing Jean-Pierre Foucault would be “uncultivated”, according to the violent criticism of the former chronicler of Hello it’s us Patrice Carmouze made on the set of Non Stop People Monday April 5, 2021. The 39-year-old morning radio host Virgin tonic joined the ranks of TF1 in 2018, after a stint as a columnist on Do not touch My TV.
He took the lead of Dance with the stars after the departure of the former host Sandrine Quétier and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? in 2019. The show then had to give way to the television series Tomorrow belongs to us, at the end of the first confinement, in June 2020. “I was very happy to spend these weeks of confinement and deconfinement by your side and to have been able to offer good sums to all these associations and foundations that we defended every evening. If you have been able to change your mind a little, we are very happy. Thank you to all our personalities for taking the time to play with us ” said the host at the end of the last Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? June 12, 2020.
“It’s complicated with him”
But it is obviously the role of the host in the show that bothers Patrice Carmouze. “As he is uneducated, it’s complicated with Camille Combal at the head of Who wants to win millions … If the people who participate have to call on the host to help them answer, it’s complicated because he is really uneducated, suddenly it does not really please the candidates of to find himself with him at the head of this game … “. he blasted on the set of Non Stop People Monday April 5, pushing a real rant.
Patrice Carmouze took advantage of his time on the celebrity news channel to defend his friend Christophe Dechavanne, and explain that he is missing on television and in particular on TF1. The former host of Hello it’s us does not seem to be found in the new generation of TF1 hosts, who obviously displeases him: “But there are still hosts at TF1? Who is the host there?”, he had fun answering the reporter from Non Stop People. And while Jordan De Luxe quoted him from presenters like Nikos Alliagas or Jean-Luc Reichmann, Patrice Carmouze replied with a pout, a little disillusioned.
