2024 - "They told me 'no'": this project by Karine Le Marchand refused by M6 which she will never complete

Emblematic host of M6, Karine Le Marchand had worked on a program project for the channel’s prime time access, which was unfortunately refused by management, as she told Puremedias.com on Monday October 3, 2022.

An essential face of M6 for many years now, Karine Le Marchand embodies several shows emblematic of the chain run by Nicolas de Tavernost, such as L’Amour est dans le pré, or even La France à un incredible talent. In addition to the programs she hosts, Karine Le Marchand also produces certain meetings for M6. His latest documentary production, called Trans, one of a kind, will also be broadcast on Thursday, October 6, 2022 in prime time. On this occasion, Karine Le Marchand gave an interview at the site Puremedias.com.

During this interview, which will be posted online on Thursday, October 6, 2022, the presenter confided in a program project that will unfortunately never see the light of day on air. In an excerpt from this interview released on Monday October 3, 2022, Karine Le Marchand explained that she had worked on a program “with drag queens“, was intended to be broadcast in the prime time access box on M6. The concept of this daily meeting was simple. It was a friendly competition between “a team of drag queens” and “a team of women“.”They had to compete in make-up, sewing, etc.“, underlined Karine Le Marchand. Unfortunately, the management of M6 refused her project, not convinced by the potential success of this program.

Karine Le Marchand: “Now that Drag Race France exists, it’s over!”

“We told me ‘No, but I don’t really believe in prime time. I had to tell them that they were wrong, that a competition of this kind could be super funny, super nice, that we as women have a lot to learn from drag queens, they said no“, explained the host. “Drag Race France was released on France 2, and it is a hit. And when we see the people who are in the room to attend the shows derived from the show (the candidates of the program are on tour throughout France with their show Drag Race France Live, editor’s note)they are mothers with their daughters… Now that it exists, it’s screwed!“, added Karine Le Marchand
