Launched for the first time on France 2 in 2006, Everyone wants to take its place has become a must-see event on the public channel over the years. Since its creation, the daily game has been played by three different hosts. First of all there was Nagui, who managed to relaunch his career on TV thanks to this game. Also at the helm of Do not forget the lyrics since 2007, the historic presenter of Everyone wants to take its place chose to leave the show in 2021, as he was frustrated with the format’s lack of evolution. The management of France Télévisions had chosen to replace him with Laurence Boccolini, but after only two seasons, the host has decided to give up his placein order to devote himself to other projects. Friday November 10, 2023 from TV Mag, the presenter now in charge of the Children of TV was questioned about her departure, assuring that she did not “no regrets” regarding this decision.
Laurence Boccolini: “We must be totally in agreement with his departures”
In the columns of TV Mag, Laurence Boccolini was also invited to react to Nagui’s scathing remarks towards Everyone wants to take its place. “I’m so much better, happier since I stopped, it’s incredible. For me, it’s a show that has aged, that is no longer in tune with the times. We are keeping alive someone who is very, very, very tired, and that has nothing to do with the talent of Laurence Boccolini or Jarry, who are friends. I rewatched images, shows and I wonder how I lasted so long.” declared the host in the columns of TV Mag in October 2023. “I didn’t find what he said harsh. It’s great to not have regrets, which you should never have in life. You have to be totally in agreement with your departures. When we agree with what we do, decide to leave and say: ‘I have no regrets’, we are good”, replied Laurence Boccolini on this subject.
