Columnists, sections, news… The revelations of the pilot of “Touche pas à mon poste!”

On October 8, 2012, Cyril Hanouna was at the helm for the launch of D8 and the new formula of ” Do not touch My TV! ». Ten years later, the channel has changed its name but the host is still at the head of his talk show and approaches this new season with unwavering energy. Thursday at the Canal Factory in Boulogne-Billancourt, like a marathon runner, he chained three recording sessions in the space of eight hours without the slightest drop in speed. After a summer punctuated by padel tennis tournaments and the crazy goal of joining the world’s top 100 in the disciplineCyril Hanouna has found a place where he is just as comfortable, that of the “TPMP” set. “The trend for this new season will be to be more in a good moodhe told us. There will always be big issues and debates but we will go more towards entertainment. People want to laugh and so do we. »

The 2021/2022 season, marked by the presidential campaign and many societal issues, was that of all records for “TPMP” with a 24% increase in average audience in one year, 1,543,000 viewers at the rendezvous. vous (6.8% of PDA), a record peak at more than 2 million, and a digital success with 3.2 billion views on social networks and video platforms according to the channel. The talk hosted by Cyril Hanouna is attracting more and more young people and is at the top of the rankings for 15-24 year olds with 9.2% of PDA.

At 11 a.m. sharp, wearing a casual white shirt, he launched the first of three pilots. “I just woke up guys”, he blurts out to the teams around the table. Facing him, ten columnists including three new faces: those of the nail technician Radia Kebailifrom the journalist Celine Alonzo and the young Belgian influencer Camille Fischbach. Alongside them, Benjamin Castaldi, Valérie Benaïm, Kelly Vedovelli, Bernard Montiel, Guillaume Genton, Gilles Favard (revealed at the end of last season for his spats with Gilles Verdez) and Oliv Oliv. As usual, Cyril Hanouna bedroom, teases but also gets annoyed sometimes. “The ‘yeahs’, I don’t want them anymore”he asks when approaching a first debate. “And this title is too long, it’s not right”, he tells the production teams. In an omnipresent good mood, the elders quickly found their marks. Among the newcomers, Radia Kebaili and Camille Fischbach seemed impressed while Céline Alonzo stood out with more ease and knowledge.

At 3 p.m., facing a Cyril Hanouna in a black shirt, the second session left plenty of room for new columnists with, alongside Isabelle Morini-Bosc, Nicolas Pernikoff and Myriam Palomba, the hosts Nicolas Perrin and Lamal Gunslingermodel and actress Sally Sanogothe columnist of “William at Noon” Antoni Ruiz and the actor Anthony Ross. After three appearances last season, Anissa Consul (daughter of Cécile, former participant of “Married at first sight” on M6) has made a comeback. “I feel comfortable in “Do not touch My TV”and Cyril does everything for me to betold us the young woman of 20 years. “I would like to continue and come back regularly this season. » On set, Anissa lent herself to Cyril Hanouna’s game of jokes and scored valuable points. The other newcomers also flourished and took part in the proposed debates with eloquence.

Shortly after 5 p.m., the third pilot brought together Benjamin Castaldi, the ghost Jean-Michel Maire, Delphine Wespiser, Béatrice Rosen (last season’s reveal), Geraldine Maillet, Raymond Aabou (viewers’ favorite columnist), Danielle Moreau and Gilles Verdez. The facilitator Julie Raynauda longtime friend of Cyril Hanouna, integrated into the gang as if she had always been part of it. Lena Guillou, former candidate for “Marseillais” and “Princes and Princess of Love” who became an influencer and YouTuber, was one of the new faces. The companion of footballer Adil Rami spoke without really making an impression, unlike the comedian Nino Arial, formidable sniper with ultra-efficient projections as Jean-Luc Lemoine was able to be before him on the show. Finally, the stand-upper Ilyès Djadel (that Cyril Hanouna discovered at the last Marrakech du rire) came to do a two-minute happening that was unanimous.

“I am unable to say who will succeed in making a place for themselves this year”

On several occasions, Cyril Hanouna recalled that these tests, as satisfactory as they are, only very rarely lead to tenure. “I am a bit like the Didier Deschamps of television, I observe, I reflect and I will make decisions”he caricatured before ironizing about the previous seasons. “The ‘TPMP’ pilot is when you try out people you never see again afterwards. » After filming, the animator-producer recognizes that it will be a real headache to make choices. “Among the new ones, there are four or five who will join the team with certainty”, he revealed to us. As for the contents of the recordings, if Sacha Elbaz will select some astutely for his weekly column on the backstage of “TPMP”, they will remain secret. Like in Las Vegas, what happens in the pilot of “Touche pas à mon poste! will remain in the driver. “I love doing pilots, you can say things there that you usually can’t”noted the facilitator, without the slightest filter during the three recordings.

” The pilot of “TPMP” is a real tradition every season, emphasizes Lionel Stan. It’s the reunion between Cyril and all the teams with the summer break, he needs it. » The producer does not consider these recordings to be ” a casting “knowing from experience that the new columnists impose themselves more often by landing during the season than by trying their hand at the pilot. “I thought it went well today, there is a lot of talent”he told us, specifying that the last word will go to Cyril Hanouna. “Our last season went very well and he will want to bet on his sure values. I am unable to say who will succeed in making a place for themselves this year. » As for the very construction of the show, the headings remain almost the same. “We have a new team and a new script to produce our magnetos”, he tells us. Another small novelty, a QR code will appear regularly on the screen and will allow viewers to access a summary of the current program.
