Nothing works between TF1 and Cyril Hanouna.

Touche not at my post
to stop attacking Arthur, one of its flagship faces.
If on the importance of the right to parody and criticism, the TF1 group, which spoke on
TV Mag
, says it refuses its hosts to be subjected to insults, threats or harassment.
TF1 recalls in passing the many warnings and sanctions from the CSA received by Cyril Hanouna over the years, and says it hopes for a change of attitude.

Cyril Hanouna plays there one of the leaders of TF1 who asks to bring down the character played in the film by Jean-Paul Belmondo, but who here had the face of Arthur.

"
TPMP
will always remain the issue of freedom of expression"
The host of
Touche not at my post
replied Wednesday, in a video posted on Instagram where he refuses any self-criticism.
"Apparently, TF1 does not like that we make parodies on them. Freedom of expression, that does not speak to them, the right to parody, that does not speak to them ...", he proclaims .
"Apparently, we harass them, while I still tweeted about the TF1 JT audience cards."
Cyril Hanouna continues in a lyrical flight worthy of a speech in the National Assembly.
"
TPMP
will always remain the broadcast of freedom of expression, the broadcast of those who are forgotten, who do not have a voice elsewhere, the broadcast without tongue in cheek, the show where we say what we think, the show where we laugh and the only live talk-show where anything can happen, and where anything will always happen, "he promises.

It should be noted that
Touche pas à mon poste
is not the only live talk show.
C à vous
is also live every evening on France 5. And Cyril Hanouna's criticisms of TF1 fall badly.
He accuses the group of attacking freedom of expression and the freedom to parody, while the employees of the Canal + group, on which he officiates, reproach their leaders exactly the same.
We obviously think of the dismissal at the end of December of commentator Stéphane Guy, who simply paid tribute on the air to his colleague Sébastien Thoen.
The latter had also been dismissed after having participated in a parody of a program of the Canal + group.
