Thierry Ardisson is dead. Long Live Thierry Ardisson! His detractors liked to say that the host was tilting for the king of the small screen. It was usual, it is true. When asked what he would like to say about him after his last hour, he replied: “That he had ideas!”
There is one that has never left it, realism. Already in 1986, he tried with his book about Louis XX, the last of the Bourbons, awaken the monarchical instinct of the French. Your goal? That the intercourse of the children of Hugues Capet still serves something.
With his sense of formula, he said he wanted to put the “fruit of the sacred sex in the head of France.” Was it a provocation that exchanged his entire career? No, rather, a kind of neo -momantism. Thierry Ardisson was not far from thinking like Stendhal “that the best political regime is the absolute monarchy tempered by murder.”
In the program “Tête à shock” presented by Patrick Drevet (which can be found in the files of the INA), he said without laughing that the monarchy is a modern solution of the government. A concept that will never leave it. Two weeks ago, on the set of great gueules, he tried to convince Alain Marshall and Olivier Truchot that a king could be the best referee in the game played in France between conservatives and progressives.
“When we say monarchy, everyone thinks to the right, which is absurd”
Keep in mind that he certainly did not claim as heir to the King’s camelots. French action, very little for him. “When we say monarchy, everyone thinks on the right, which is absurd. I have nothing to do with Charles Maurras. But political culture does not suffer from this country. I find the monarchical system infinitely more stable and more fair,” he advanced in 2019 in an interview with current values “, the right -wing journal that assumes” as the slogan of this press. Ardisson would have found one better, no doubt …
The Republic has never been a beggar for him. Rather, he saw the monarchy as able to straighten our mistakes and our political tar. A little like Anatole France before the one who observed that in the Republic, corruption was greater than in the monarchies. Because, added the author of The gods are thirsty and Angeles Revolt“This is the number and diversity of people who are in power.” Paradox man joined the stable of Vincent Bolloré. Before being grateful for the Breton billionaire who decided to stop the program that organized about Fire C8 in 2019. Ardisson will live as a crime. To the courts it is to deceive …
Still faithful to your convictions Ardisson? He refused to be decorated with the legion of honor twice. He did not mind receiving this “reserved garbage distinction has been singers like Sheila.” For weakness or more surely for pride, he ended up accepting this recognition. Therefore, it was elevated to the rank of gentleman on April 11, 1998. In the same way as the composer Vladimir Cosma and true … Sheila.
The Republic is sometimes playful. Like the life that is filled with irony for a realist who has passed through the years, the flowers -of -lis between the teeth, ends on the morning of July 14.
