This Wednesday, October 19, Cyril Hanouna wanted to take a long moment from his program Touche pas à mon poste to talk about a subject that was close to his heart: his relationship with Camille Combal, whom he considers totally ruined since the departure of the latter on TF1.
It was something that was apparently very close to his heart. This Wednesday, October 19, in the middle of his daily show Touche pas à mon poste, Cyril Hanouna wanted to talk about a subject that seems to touch him personally: Camille Combal, in order to take stock of its passage under the TF1 flag. Initially, the debate between the columnists happened because of the poor prime time audience during which Camille Combal was headlining this Tuesday evening.
But above all, Cyril Hanouna wanted to go back a long way, when he knew Camille Combal. He therefore recounted their meeting: “I saw him on the networks, and he made me laugh. So I offered him to follow me on Direct 8. He had nothing at the time, so he m “I said yes. I offered him a daily column on TPMP of ten to fifteen minutes. My boss was not a fan of him but I told him that I believed in it thoroughly. He said ok. We made him do prime time, we gave him a lot of shows“. So much for the start of their relationship, which was going perfectly well.
Cyril Hanouna: “It pains me to see how TF1 ruined Camille Combal”
It was only long after that everything fell apart between the two men. “I wanted to develop it, we did radio together on Virgin. For months, for years we worked together. I then offered to redo the daily newspaper before me in addition to producing a series for him on Canal+, because he wanted to be an actor at the base. We were ready to have him sign the contract but I felt he was torn. And then there were rumors of departure on TF1″.
At that point, their relationship began to break down. “I asked him to tell me if he wanted to go to TF1, which I could have understood. He told me no, that he was keen on my proposal and that he didn’t want to make a career in TV games. So I let him think. But I have no more news. It was when I arrived at the office one morning that I came across an interview with him in Le Parisien saying that he had signed on TF1. Since then, we haven’t even called each other. We passed each other once in the street, but that’s it. He never called me to tell me that he had made his decision to go to TF1. It pains me, I worked for his talent for a long time. And when I see what TF1 is doing with it today, with Minelli shoes reading a teleprompter…“. At least things have the merit of now being clear.
