"I write projects and I try to sell them": in confinement, Thierry Ardisson's daily life is ultimately quite little different from usual. "It doesn't really change my way of living, because I've always worked at home," smiles - by phone - the historic host of Canal +, thanked by the channel in May 2019. "I never went to the office apart from when I was in the pub 35 years ago. So teleworking doesn't change anything for me. "

"I'm not going outside"
"If there is only one thing that changes, it is that the restaurant of the Meurice [a luxury hotel in the first arrondissement of Paris, editor's note ] is closed, I have to make myself some pasta ", blows Thierry Ardisson. Because the leader respects confinement to the letter. "I am 70 years old and I am a smoker, I am at risk. I am not going outside."
So, he divides his time between work and exercise bike, since he can no longer go running at the Tuileries. "When I wake up I do the housework, I do a half hour of cycling ... It's like in prison: the guys who get out in prison, it's those who play sports every morning and who don't let go, who shave. (...) You need a lot of discipline. "
"Like a species of giant Yom Kippur"
Not a fan of news channels, which "repeat the same thing all day, that you have to wash your hands and not go out", Thierry Ardisson believes that "the great confinement television program", that "which we will be remembered in ten years ", has not yet been created - while taking care not to slip the ideas that it seems to have.
Far from the tumult, the "man in black" will not offer any concept to animate this unprecedented period, which he wants devoted to something else. "This confinement is like a kind of giant Yom Kippur [holy day of Judaism, editor's note ]: we are all locked up at home to think," he compares. And to propose that we institute "a great confinement of one week per year, during which people would reunite with their families. It will give them a perspective on life."
