No sooner said than done. The day following the announcement of his transfer from France 2 to BFM TV, Laurent Ruquier appeared on the news channel this Sunday, July 16, 2023. During an interview in “Week-end première”, the television host and producer detailed the reasons for this career reversal but also traced the outlines of the appointment you whose it will be, with Julie Hammettthe face from the start of the school year.
The animator having passed 23 years of his career in public service appeared on the screen of the streaming news channel with a big smile on his face. “It’s an unexpected choice, it’s true. For me too. Several seasons ago I was thinking regarding the idea of hosting a one-hour segment on a news channel. It’s something that been in my head for a while. I’ve always been passionate regarding information, it’s been 30 years since […] I tear up newspapers every morning, from ‘La Croix’, to ‘Parisien’, via ‘L’Humanité’, ‘Figaro’, I’ve been doing this for 30 years, a press review that I use for my activities radio or televisionhe detailed to justify this ultimate twist. “It was decided in eight days so it’s fresh, unexpected.”
His desire for information at the heart of negotiations with TF1
The 60-year-old presenter explained that he wanted to start a “new challenge” which will allow him “surely (to) learn many things”. He then listed: “Working in an editorial office, even if I already did it a few years ago inEurope 1. Work on information, I did a few years ago with Marc-Olivier Fogiel on Canal+ twenty years ago it was a program called ‘Un an de plus’ and which returned to the news a year later and moreover it is Bruce Toussaint who was doing the news on this show at the time so you see it’s a reconstituted trio.”
This desire was at the heart of the negotiations between the animator and the group TF1he revealed. “It was I who suggested to TF1 the idea of an association with LCI, your competitor channel. When I told Marc-Olivier (Fogiel) that I had this as a project for the start of the school year, he had a professional reaction. He said to me: ‘LCI, but how? It’s not possible, no it’s on BFM that you have to come.’ Here’s how it happened, it’s not more complicated than that.”
“I’m going to do what I did in ‘We’re not in bed'”
Laurent Ruquier will ensure with Julie Hammett, arrival of LCI, the slice between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. His arrival is scheduled from the beginning of October. What will this slice look like? “It’s still a little early to say because we’re going to work all summer”replied the one who will be the face.
“You have to work, you have to think, you have to recruit new voices, new faces because obviously there will be debaters with me… I’m going to try to do what I was doing at the time of ‘On n ‘is not in bed’ when I had a political Alex Reed, guests who debated, when sometimes we reacted live because it’s true that at that time, alas, there were tragic events that happened to us, we had to do live broadcasts the next day and even as a bonus with different political guests to react to the sometimes terrible news. This is an exercise that I practiced and that I will continue to explore a little more in the future. come back.”
The former presenter of “On n’demande qu’en rire” added that what he will do will be “BFMTV plus Ruquier”. “I think BFM is going to take a step towards me and me towards BFM. I can’t sum up the project better, I think.”
“There was a form of disenchantment between the management of France 2 and me”
Regarding the end of his collaboration with France 2Laurent Ruquier assured that he was still happy at the animation of “Children of TV”, “but it was not enough for me in terms of work”he nuanced.
“I missed the news above all but it was a weekly, in addition that we often recorded in advance, so it did not necessarily allow us to bounce back on the news. […] But that’s not the reason, the reason is that, when you do this job, you like to be appreciated by your directors, appreciated by France 2 and there was a form of disenchantment between management and me and in such cases, as in love you have to know how to leave the table.”
