Bertrand Usclat, humorist at the origin of the humorous pastilles "Broute" of Canal +, explained in an interview with the "World" that he could "make fun of everything ... except CNEWS".
A sentence from an interview given in October, and which resurfaces on the occasion of the Sébastien Thoen affair, fired following a sketch on "The hour of the pros".
At the end of November, the actor Sébastien Thoen lost his place as columnist at the
Canal Sports Club
and presenter of the
Journal du hard
at Canal +, following a sketch parodying the CNEWS show
L'heure des pros.
For his part, the actor Bertrand Usclat prefers not to take risks.
Revealed in the humorous pastilles

on Canal +, he asked to remove a little sentence he had spoken in an interview with
Le Monde
last October.
He explained that he could laugh at everything ... except CNEWS.
And he added that there was, however, "something to say about the editorial line of this channel".
