After Gilles Lellouche, Camille Cottin, Olivier Nakache or even Éric Toledano, it is up to the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, to lend himself to the exercise of papotin meetings.
Broadcast at 8:30 p.m. in France this Saturday, this pre-recorded interview will show the Head of State answering unexpected and unconventional questions from some fifty journalists with autism spectrum disorders.
On Tuesday, the channel shared a trailer for the show that gives an insight into the questions that await Emmanuel Macron:
“Do you have a lot of money? What is your biggest fear? Does it hurt that there are people who criticize you?” We can hear in particular in this teaser.
Format that has existed for 33 years
The papotin meetings is the television format derived from the newspaper The Pottin, launched in 1990 by Driss El Kesri, an educator at the Antony day hospital in Hauts-de-Seine. Since then, many actors, singers, writers, filmmakers and political figures have been interviewed by the newspaper’s staff.
This new version, moderated by Julien Bancilhon, editor-in-chief of the publication and psychologist, was launched on France 2 in September based on an idea by directors Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache (untouchable, huge, The meaning of the holiday).
In the past, other presidents had already played the game of this interview, such as Nicolas Sarkozy who, in 2015, revealed in particular his disagreement with François Hollande in the paper magazine, while Jacques Chirac had received journalists from papotin at the Élysée in 2022.
The new episode of papotin meetings with Emmanuel Macron will be broadcast on France 2 on Saturday, January 7 at 8:30 p.m. According to the parisian, the actress Josiane Balasko will be the next guest in this format. She would also have become close to Jean Dujardin.
