Nicole Ferroni has an "attraction-repulsion relationship" with television

The cast of "Piquantes" -

• Nicole Ferroni is presenting

  Piquantes

  tonight for the first time

  , a new weekly topical show with a small band of female comedians.

• Alexandra Pizzagali, Christine Berrou, Thaïs Vauquières, Laura Domenge, Florence Mendez, Elodie Arnould, Elodie Poux and Constance accompany him.

• This is the first time that Nicole Ferroni has hosted a television show, a medium she has already frequented but with which she maintains a relationship of attraction-repulsion, she says.

They are a dozen women, and they have decided to return the news, with the mistress of ceremony of this merry playful mess, Nicole Ferroni.

The committed comedian and columnist of France Inter will present this evening for the first time

, a new weekly news program on television with its small 100% female band, "guaranteed without filter".

20 Minutes

gave him a phone call to find out more about this debate-show which starts this Friday evening at 10:40 p.m. on the Téva channel.

What is the principle of

Piquantes

 ?

I don't use anglicism, but apparently it's called a talk show!

It's a show in which a guest comes to present their news to us, and in which I have seven or eight columnists.

Each one has its specialty in content and form: there are humor tickets, sketches, false reports ... In the content there is a political column, a psychological and societal column, one on the unusual, there is has the portrait of the guest, and Constance who makes an exceptional guest, in this case tonight Melania Trump.

This allows you to have exceptional guests even when you can't get their agent!

. @ NicoleFerroniZe is coming to @tevalachaine to host a new talk with a bunch of sassy and humorous girls!

Can you tell us about your running males?

We may have to turn, because one of the columnists gave birth last week [Elodie Poux].

In the program broadcast this evening there is Alexandra Pizzagali: she is the one who chronicles "psy-cause".

She makes micro-sidewalks and she bounces on what she gets as a response from the French.

Christine Berrou chronicles the “ethics pole”.

Thaïs Vauquières recounts the past she had with the guest, which he does not remember.

She starts from real photos of the guest, is embedded in the photos, and tells about this common memory, which did not really exist.

Then Laura Domenge does the “very special surveys”.

It's a false report, for example this evening she plays a beautician in a salon called Egalit'air, a feminist aesthetic salon… which leaves us our hair!

Florence Mendez is the Belgian of the troop, you always need a Belgian!

This is the mandatory quota!

She does the news explained to children, knowing that she is a great lover of black humor.

There she explains euthanasia to the children: I hope they will be in bed at that time!

Elodie Arnould sends us the unnecessary and offbeat facts of the week.

And you ?

I take care of launching the show, giving it direction - when I get there - and I conduct the guest interview ... if the interviewee is willing to let himself be led.

Who is the first, or the first guest?

It was Thomas Dutronc.

It was really nice.

He took the risk of rubbing shoulders with a show he did not know.

He's a great guest because casually even if the show is called

, we were

a little trembling

.

Hosting a program is something I had never done before.

We ran into a generous guest who wanted to talk.

I thank him.

Tomorrow evening, for the first time in my life, I'm micheldruckère⤵️

Why a bunch of women?

Did you want to boost the career of female comedians?

At first the idea is not mine.

But when it was offered to me, I found it interesting to have this format, even if it's true that at the moment it's a bit fashionable: there is a desire to make a place for women.

But I was thrilled because I knew some of the chosen girls, and I knew I was going to laugh.

And then, even if I don't have the impression of being in a media, at France Inter, where the place of men is very important compared to that of women, in the global landscape the male presence remains very strong .

And so I found the idea of ​​a place where we compensate for this invisibility there.

And in the middle of humor?

I have not experienced great difficulties in evolving in my profession.

But I was my own producer.

I didn't have the pressure of the producer, and they are generally men.

In humor, decisions are made by men, again.

So it's good that

can give visibility to women.

In Téva, she is a channel director and a producer.

What we see on the air reflects behind the scenes.

I only chat with women.

If I understand correctly, you are coming back to television: did you miss it?

I didn't miss it but I'm happy to go back.

With television I maintain a relationship of attraction-repulsion.

On television there is image pressure.

On the radio I come disheveled, not wearing makeup.

And I have very little or no feedback on my text.

On television I have to say what I'm going to do, and since there is image, there is preparation for the image.

Having so many cameras and so much preparation puts pressure.

So sometimes it oppresses me.

Afterwards I am a lover of visual humor.

I like to see people's expressions.

Or being able to express myself other than through words.

And I miss it on the radio.
