For the troublemaker of the small screen, the next few months will be busy. Patrick Sébastien, who now admits to preferring Netflix to TV, publishes a book, I moved the elephant (XO editions). He is also preparing to release a new album of songs, the first title of which, titled On Unpinning, will be released at the end of June. From October, he takes over the theater with a tour and in November, it's The World's Largest Cabaret who will tour in 30 Zeniths. Finally, he will play, at the end of August, in an episode of Camping Paradis. In short, Patrick Sébastien is happy and he doesn't hesitate to say: “I have never looked better. I'm free", he confides. After his ouster from France Télévisions in 2019, the host revives. To discuss all these new projects, he gave an interview to Parisian (published Friday June 19, 2020) in which he tells about his new life… But also in which he talks about the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron.
"He's a handsome guy"
It was Patrick Sébastien who, at the end of May 2020, gave Jean-Marie Bigard's number to the head of state after the humorist asked the politician on social networks. He confides in this subject, explaining conversing regularly with Emmanuel Macron : “I did the intermediary”, did he declare. “And I pass messages: I worry about theaters, fairgrounds, musicians, discos, all those people who suffer and cannot reopen when they see people crammed on the trains. I told the president who, on Sunday evening, didn't talk about culture … We are the last wheel of the coach. Museums are great, but popular culture also exists. ” And to the question “You write that François Hollande, by his humor, could have replaced Laurent Baffie at Thierry Ardisson. And President Macron, what place would you give him?”, Patrick Sébastien puts out an astonishing answer to say the least: “Dr House! He's a handsome guy. But whoever the presidents, it is finance and friendship networks that command. So I'm not yelling at the presidents. What interests me are the people below. ” We wouldn't have bet on Dr House.
