A color of freedom and impertinence

Invited to

Culture Médias

this Friday on Europe 1, Léa Salamé returned to the departure of her sidekick.

"Laurent Ruquier has decided to stop the show. I regretted it but now I have accepted it," she confided to Philippe Vandel.

If the host of 

Quelle epoque!

will now be alone at the helm of the talk show, she assures that he "places himself completely in the filiation of Ardisson and Ruquier".

"Me, it's a box that I've always looked at. When I was young, I watched Ardisson every Saturday evening. Then I was a columnist at Ruquier in

, then I been a presenter”, she recalls at the microphone of Philippe Vandel.

The PAF star is looking forward to embarking on a new adventure, despite his stress.

"I like this freedom that there is on this box there of the public service. This is not the case everywhere on the public service, but there, for 25 years, there is a color of freedom, impertinence . Something is going on, a form of transgression and a bit of a smell of sulfur that I like, which attracts me. And so there, we will see what we will give". 

Léa Salamé will be accompanied by a new acolyte, Christophe Dechavanne, every Saturday evening in

Quelle époque!.
