Not so long ago, Thierry Ardisson and Laurent Baffie almost had a falling out. The cause ? Brigitte Macron, as described by the comedian in an interview given to Le Figaro.
© COADIC GUIREC Laurent Baffie confided on France Inter: “I confused dinner with friends with a TV show. I did something I don't take responsibility for, that I wouldn't have liked to see on someone else. We all make mistakes and this one, I own up to.”
IN BRIEF
- In early January, Brigitte Macron presented her wishes on TF1 and spoke about the “Operation Yellow Coins”, while defending her husband Emmanuel Macron against criticism.

At the moment, Brigitte Macron is very present. At the beginning of January, the First Lady went to present her wishes on TF1 and talk about Operation Yellow Coins. She took the opportunity to talk about her husband, who she said was “bruised” by all the criticism. “If there is one thing Emmanuel deserves, it is respect”, she argued then, obsequiously. The following weeks, she went on several other shows, including Les 12 Coups de midi. This time, she focused on the operation Pièces Jaunes.

On January 13, Laurent Baffie gave an interview to the newspaper Le Figaro as part of the release of his latest one-man show, “Baffie se pose des questions”. While some believed he had disappeared from circulation for a while, this is not the case. Thierry Ardisson's former sidekick has also just released a new book, “Le nouveau dico de Lolo”. He also manages his own Instagram account with over 1 million subscribers, where he posts hidden camera videos.
Laurent Baffie on Thierry Ardisson: “We're still friends, even if…”
The career of the PAF sniper therefore continues to be rich and full. A career that he owes in part to Thierry Ardisson, who allowed him to get noticed. But, recently, a small conflict took place between the two men. And for good reason: the man in black was highly rewarded by the First Lady, but did not see fit to invite his lifelong friend to be at his side. “We're still friends, even though I was upset that he didn't invite me to his Legion of Honor last April, fearing that I would make a bad joke on Brigitte Macron. But I quickly forgot,” commented the comedian.
How could this falling out have lasted so long? ? The men have been friends for so long… And Laurent Baffie has a very special affection for Thierry Ardisson. “I was very lucky to come across Thierry because he is the most free and rock and roll guy on TV. He made me known to the general public, he gave me exposure as an author”, the former sniper of Salut les terriens is still delighted.
The comedian has sometimes “gotten himself in the shit”
As Thierry Ardisson feared, could Baffie have été able to make a bad joke to the First Lady, on D-Day ? The one who became his “own boss” admits in any case that he sometimes “got himself in trouble” with his humorous traits, even if it have trials.
“My worst enemy is me. Today, I take refuge on stage to be able to continue to be free. I don't expect much from the media anymore, I create my own”, he confided in reference to his Instagram account.
