A real psychosis seems to have taken hold in France, but also abroad, since the multiplication of videos showing Bedbugs in Paris. If this news has been widely reported in the French press in recent days, this is also the case in the international media. For example, the British daily Daily Mail had devoted an article at the beginning of the week to “the invasion” of the French capital by these “blood-sucking creatures”. For its part, the Austrian newspaper Die Presse had outbid by writing: “They are looking for human blood.” The proliferation of bedbugs in Paris also inspired the famous American talk show host Jimmy Fallon. While he recently started presenting his famous Tonight Show on the antenna of NBC, following the end of the American screenwriters’ strike, the presenter made fun ofEmmanuel Macron and France in general on Tuesday October 3, 2023.
Jimmy Fallon takes the caricature of the French to the extreme in his show
In fact, Jimmy Fallon appeared on the air disguised as the President of the Republic. In addition to the particularly hairy chest of the French head of state, the presenter stacked the photos in wearing a beret, a fake baguette, and a glass of wine. He then began to sing in English, with a very caricatured French accent. “There are bedbugs in Paris, they are bigger than fleas and they itch. If I were you, I wouldn’t do Airbnb, because anywhere They can crawl, even through chest hair“, he said, provoking laughter from his audience across the Atlantic. “Bed bugs, oh my god! They are really disgusting, they are everywhere, just like Swift and Kelce,” then added the host. This was a reference to a (so far unfounded) rumor claiming that the famous singer Taylor Swift was dating American football player Travis Kelce. For the record, Jimmy Fallon had already made fun of Emmanuel Macron’s chest hair in song, during a sketch broadcast in April 2022.
