The 60-year-old host is leaving France Television and could join the TF1 group at the start of the school year.
He is an emblematic figure of France Télévisions who will soon leave the ship. According to information from Parisian, Laurent Ruquier will no longer operate on France 2 at the start of the school year in September. He had been on the air for the public service audiovisual group since 1992. The information has not yet been confirmed either by the principal concerned or by France Télévisions. However, he will continue to host “Les Grosses Têtes” on RTL.
The national media, however, specifies that Laurent Ruquier could soon join the competing group TF1. Nothing would yet be recorded, since the negotiations would be in progress, specifies Le Parisien. But why would the host leave France Télévisions? Tensions between the 60-year-old host and the group would be at the origin of this departure, born when Lea Salamé and her producer arrived on the talk show We are livein the spring of 2020. Two years later, Laurent Ruquier decided to leave the presentation of the program.
Biography of Laurent Ruquier – Born February 24, 1963 in Le Havre, Laurent Ruquier is a jack-of-all-trades: sometimes on the radio, sometimes on television, he is also a playwright and producer of one-man shows. It was in the spring of 1988 that Laurent Ruquier’s career started when he was hired by Jacques Martin’s team on Europe 1. After having given up his civil service, he was also on stage in Paris at the Caveau de la République . It was the following year that he made his first appearance on television in La Classe on France 3. Then, in 1991, he became an animator for France Inter with Nothing to wax. He will remain six years in the public service station before being hired at Europe 1 from 1999 to 2014.
During this period, he rose to prominence on television with, in 2000, the launch of his daily We tried everything on France 2, a channel he has not left since. The public service owes him in particular On n’demande qu’en rire, a daily newspaper which allows you to discover the talents of many comedians, but also the talk show On n’est pas couch launched in 2006 and which ends in 2020. On the radio, he has taken up the torch from Philippe Bouvard in Les Grosses Têtes on RTL since 2014. Since 2017, he has hosted the program Les Enfants de la Télé on Sundays, and from 2020 to 2022 We are live.
