In an interview with "Télé 2 Semaines" on Saturday February 4, Léa Salamé reconsidered her decision to hire Christophe Dechavanne as number 2 on her talk show "Quelle époque!".
The star journalist of the PAF did not listen to her relatives who advised her to choose someone else, someone who would not be frustrated to have the second role…
Léa Salamé trusted her instincts and not the advice of those around her when she decided to hire Christophe Dechavanne as number 2 on her talk show
Quelle époque!.
As she revealed in an interview for
Télé 2 Semaines,
the journalist ignored the warnings of those close to her.
"Christophe will eat you"
"Everyone told me: 'Christophe is going to eat you'", confides Léa Salamé.
This is a subject that we immediately discussed with him, to know if he accepted the deal not to be the number 1, he who was for 30 years ". If the journalist of the morning of France Inter admits having "had a doubt" about the success of their duo, she has long forgotten it, because her tandem with Dechavanne works very well.

"He is both generous and in the transmission"
"Christophe takes the job very seriously", enthuses the presenter of
Quelle epoque!.
"He also calls me regularly to give me advice and enjoys seeing me progress. Two things affect me about him: he is both generous and in transmission. He thought that television was over for him, but Dechavanne has become hype!".
The former host of
The Wheel of Fortune
meanwhile had trouble getting used to being "only" a number 2. "When you were a pack leader, it's complicated to become the second. I still have progress to make“, he explains in the columns of
Télé 2 Semaines.
"On the first broadcasts, I was bad! Fortunately there was editing... I let go more now".
And success is there: audiences are indeed up 20%!
