It’s a whole period that is coming to an end for thousands of fans of Big heads. The actor and comedian Jean-Jacques Peroni, member of the cult RTL show since 1998, will no longer make jokes among the other columnists. According to information from Jean-Marc Morandini’s blog published on Thursday April 1, the 68-year-old comedian would have received a call from the radio to tell him of the end of their collaboration. A departure confirmed by the main interested party with our colleagues from Pure Media. “I don’t care if I got fired. Completely. I have no regrets about my words “, confided the sixty-year-old. And to add: “It is no longer the same radio station. Since M6 bought out, it is no longer RTL. It is no longer rue Bayard. There is nothing more to say about it”.
“The Big Heads” : Jean-Jacques Peroni complained about “censorship”
Wednesday March 31, in an interview with Non Stop People, Jean-Jacques Peroni had made very harsh remarks against the show and his other colleagues. “As we are under the boot at the well-meaning kommandantur, I’m pissed off (…) We are censored by well-thinking. I’m telling a joke. And Laurent Ruquier tells me that it must be cut. As I say, we are not at France Inter! I’m sick of the censorship! “, had he lost his temper before suggesting that relations were not in good shape with the other chroniclers: “I do not speak about it with my colleagues of the Big Heads. I arrive, I put my feet under the table, I act stupid and I shoot myself immediately after”.
Laurent Ruquier responsible for the sidelining of Jean-Jacques Peroni?
However, Jean-Jacques Peroni made a point of clarifying Pure Media than it was not the host of the show, Laurent Ruquier, who was responsible for this departure : “It’s not him at all. I have a lot of respect for Laurent Ruquier (…) I don’t want to know who made this decision. I don’t care. We can’t say what we want. It’s the muzzle. Me, the muzzle, I tear it off “. RTL radio, contacted by our colleagues, however assured that Jean-Jacques Peroni had not been “fired” since he was not an employee of the station.
