A little over a year after his last broadcast on France 2, the wound is still fresh for Patrick Sébastien. Interviewed by the newspaper Midi Libre, the animator who did “turn the towels” on the public service for over 20 years with many projects, but admits to being surprised not to have received bids of another tv channel to a programme. It also retains a certain bitterness towards France Télévisions about the way her departure was handled.
we must remember the shock when the announcement is made public in October 2018. After 22 years on the air, Patrick Sebastien learns that his beautiful love story with France 2 is complete. A few weeks later, “The greatest cabaret on his 31′ will bring 3.8 million viewers (27.1% of audience share). A success that does nothing to change the decision of the public service and does not appear to be open doors today. “It is strange, I start with 3 million viewers and, since a year and a half, I have no proposals to people” entrust to the regional daily newspaper Patrick Sébastien, who stresses, however, “it doesn’t bother me, I’m free-wheel”.

For the facilitator, this interview is also the opportunity to get back on his departure from the troubled public service. “When they fired me, I found myself like when I am treated to 8 years of age.
