Three years have passed since the end of Hello earthlings! and Sunday Earthlings on C8. During this period, Thierry Ardisson, flagship presenter of these shows, played the card of discretion on the small screen. If he no longer appears on the air, the man in black nevertheless returns in voice-over from ORTF: they invented TVa two-part documentary that brought the history of French television to life for viewers.
This absence from the screen was a way to better prepare the sequel for the star host who arrives this Monday evening with hotel of time, a show of a new genre in which he uses artificial intelligence to revive legends that have disappeared. His first Alex Reed? Dalida!
In 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, this Sunday, Thierry Ardisson came to promote this highly anticipated new programme. Beside him were other guests. Among them, Big Flo and Oli who came to present their new title Holy Brothel. Their performance was praised by all those present on the set. Thierry Ardisson, himself, wanted to congratulate the two brothers from Toulouse: “It’s good, it’s great to see them appropriating our culture, it’s theirs too, so it’s good that they talk regarding it!“, launches the facilitator whose comment has created a slight discomfort …
His remarks were strongly criticized on the Web. “Thierry Ardisson say that ‘Bigflo and Oli have appropriated our culture’ well seen the colonialist, to puke“, can we read on Twitter. But still: “On the other hand, it is racist limit the answer of Ardisson. ‘Taking ownership of our culture’. Uh, there’s a feeling of unease, isn’t it? Seriously, am I the only one shocked? (sic.)” ; “Pity, not only did he not understand anything, but in addition, he implies that they are not French in short.“
