Canal Plus: Chantal Lauby defends Bolloré “As soon as there is change, it raises eyebrows”
In October, D8 will devote three evenings (October 16,23, 30 and XNUMX) to Les Nuls with the broadcast of best-of sketches by the four comedians, Alain Chabat, Chantal Lauby, Dominique Farrugia and Bruno Carette.
On the occasion of these special evenings "Les Nuls de A à Z" and while the "Canal spirit" is threatened since the takeover of the Group by Vincent Bolloré, Chantal Lauby spoke in the pages of TV magazine and held to defend the boss of Vivendi: « Every boss wants to get involved when he arrives. This is his case. I am waiting to see. » she told the media. “ In all eras, shows have been removed, others added; some animators have disappeared while others have remained in the light. That's part of the game of television: as soon as someone wants to make a change, people shout! Let's give it time: we'll see."
“Let’s be positive, let’s be happy; let's enjoy life, dammit! »
The ex-Nulle also took advantage of this interview to rant against the pressure exerted on today's comedians. For the actress, if Les Nuls had so much success at the time it was because “ that at that time, the television was stuck. We kicked the machine"
Today, for the actress of “What We Did to the Good Lord”, this period is over: “ We have gone from the simple letter of denunciation to the pillory on the Internet! » Because if at the time, Les Nuls received letters of denunciation and letters from viewers unhappy with their sketches, today “ well hidden behind their screen, some feel safe and vent their bile” saddens Chantal Lauby.
Before extending his remarks to society in general: “OWe can no longer say anything, everything is interpreted, reinterpreted. It's part of this new world: it's a little sad. Why be so negative, so aggressive. Let's be positive, happy; let's enjoy life, dammit! »
Would there be a worthy successor to the Dummies, capable of kicking the anthill? « Like Les Nuls or Michaël Youn, Cyril Hanouna kicked the anthill. We need these people. » concludes Chantal Lauby.
