Nathalie Iannetta was the guest of C to you this Thursday January 4. As the Paris 2024 Olympic Games approach, the sports director of Radio France indeed had many subjects to discuss around the famous France 5 table, in the company of the show’s team but also many athletes such as Benjamin Pavard, Martin Fourcade, or Alexis Lebrun. Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine took the opportunity to question the journalist about “the greatest French champion in all categories” according to her : Victor Wembanyama. If the presenter carefully dissected each syllable of the new basketball star’s last name, however, she worded her sentence incorrectly, which caused hilarity on the set…
“Victor Wembanyama, whose first name we finally learned to pronounce…” said Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine on her momentum. An error which did not escape his guest who corrected it: “The first name was fine! It’s the name Wembanyama.” In front of the amused set, the host corrected herself: “Sure enough, the name!” And Patrick Cohen puts it down: “Victor, you’re in trouble!” In this teasing atmosphere, Mohamed Bouhafsi launched his presentation of the basketball player: “A year ago, no one, or at least not many people didn’t know the name by Victor Wembanyama, this player who measures 2m22 and 25 millimeters, which makes him the tallest man in France. He is a size 55, his feet are the size of a magnum of champagne and he has a wingspan of 2m43, which is larger than that of a golden eagle. If he wants it, iHe can also take a Smart in his arms. Since June 23, 2023, and the announcement of his arrival at the San Antonio Spurs, ‘Wemby’ has changed dimension.”

When Patrick Cohen and Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine bicker…
The bickering between Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine and Patrick Cohen has become a classic of the show. Latest example: their dispute on December 12 concerning an impromptu concert by Alicia Keys in a London train station. The singer indeed offered a small performance to travelers at St. Pancras station in London. A gesture which, it seems, did not convince the journalist, who describes the SNCF initiative to place instruments in train stations “calamity”. An opinion which sparked a strong reaction from Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine, who sent Patrick Cohen: “Sorry, Patrick? You are a killjoy. There are moments of grace Patrick, you have to know how to seize them!” A plea that left the journalist unmoved: “It hurts my ears.” And the presenter replies: “You’re annoying my ears.” Like a dog and a cat…
