TF1 strikes back after Cyril Hanouna’s accusations. The first channel condemns in a press release published this Saturday the “false information about the financial elements of the production and distribution” of the Afternoon with Alain Chabata parody talk show on its airwaves since last Monday.
On Friday night, the presenter assured in don’t touch my post that The afternoon with Alain Chabat – “the work accident of the year” according to him – It had a budget of 500,000 euros, including 100,000 for guests. “False information” for TF1: “All the invited personalities participated in a free and friendly way.”
“Unacceptable Actions”
TF1 and the production company R&G therefore request “the production [de TPMP] and to the address of C8 that this negative is retransmitted to the C8 antenna during the emission of TPMP on Monday”. Cyril Hanouna’s statements to the channel take place in a “repeated” context of “provocations and attacks against the antennas of the TF1 group”.
The channel also announces that it calls on Arcom, the television channel regulator, “to act to put an end to these unacceptable actions.” And TF1 to conclude its press release: “TF1 reserves the right to defend its interests by any other means.”
Ten episodes are planned for The afternoon with Alain Chabata parody of American talk shows like the tonight show by Jimmy Fallon. The ex-Nul is the presenter of these programs broadcast in the second part of the evening on TF1, where he has so far invited Orelsan, Jamel Debbouze, Jean Dujardin or even Monica Bellucci.
