“Morniiiiing Liiiiiiiiive !!! The show that wakes up your … neighbors! ” No one has heard this slogan for seventeen years now. Morning Live, broadcast from 2000 to 2003, it is well and truly over. But fans of the famous morning show will be delighted to find Michaël Youn, Vincent Desagnat and Benjamin Morgaine from Thursday March 19, 2020 on M6. The Morning Night Of course, will take up the general concept of the old program and will therefore include sketches, songs and of course … the famous megaphone. And viewers seem to have been won over by the new adaptation of the Morning Live. Laughter is ultimately perhaps the best defense against the current health crisis in France. “It is clearly a breath of fresh air during confinement, I advise!”, “Thank you for this program which makes us have a good time, during this difficult period. We manage to forget the context a bit and we laugh a lot ”,“ It feels good this lightness assumed by these times ”, have mostly commented on Internet users.
A Chinese couple in full coronavirus
However, some jokes do not always pass. In a society where political correctness has become essential, humorists sometimes find it difficult to adapt. And Michaël Youn should perhaps have reviewed some of his sketches before the broadcast of the show, which attracted close to 3.4 million viewers. In the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, the three troublemakers presented a skit that outraged Internet users. In this sequence, Michaël Youn and his band welcome a Chinese couple who have come to spend holidays in the French capital. True traveling pictures, dressed in stripes and red berets, the members of the procession accompany the couple from the Gare de Lyon until they arrive at the hotel. “Welcome Wang! Welcome to Paris !”, intones the wacky escort. The two Chinese were both embarrassed and amused, but above all very surprised.
“As you all know, since the coronavirus, the Chinese community has been stigmatized in the media. So we at Morning Night, we decided to repair this injustice”, explains Michaël Youn in his show. "France must offer more than 14 days of quarantine at an airport to our Chinese friends who come to visit our beautiful country. This is how we, at Morning Night, want to reconcile Europe with the Middle Kingdom”, continues the actor. But not sure that viewers saw it with that eye … "Thank you to this lovely couple, the Wangs, thank you to the Chinese for continuing to spend their currency in our Parisian stores ”said one who considers himself a “acrobat ”, back on the set of M6. Although the show was recorded before the Covid-19 moved massively to France, netizens believed that the joke was “of bad taste". Some expressed their dissatisfaction, and would have preferred that the sequence be cut during the editing. “Poor Chinese”, “French arrogance”, could read among other comments on Twitter. A sketch rather inappropriate compared to current events, but which the chain prefers to assume: “It's quirky and funny”, said M6 to our colleagues from Parisian. Michaël Youn and his gang also had carte blanche for this new program.
Disappointed that there are less jokes in the personal street, I find it less funny and ps it could have cut with the Chinese #bad taste #MorningNight

When I zapped on # M6 #MorningNight I first thought, what a pity that Michaël Youn finally comes back with his best burlesque and his irreverence, in full #Coronavirus But when I saw the Chinese tourist sequence, I saw the French arrogance as well…
