History

On 9 May 2016, Yann Barthès announced that he was leaving Canal+'s Le Petit Journal, a programme which he had presented since it began in 2004.^[2] On the same day the TF1 Group announced that it had recruited Barthès to present two new programmes: a daily show on its channel TMC and a weekly show on the TF1 channel.^[3] Canal+ later announced that Barthès would be replaced as presenter of Le Petit Journal by Cyrille Eldin.^[4]

The first episode of Quotidien, broadcast 12 September 2016, featured a guest appearance by the singer Vanessa Paradis who opened the series.^[5] It also featured an interview with the Socialist Party politician and former Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira, an appearance by the actor Valérie Lemercier, and a live performance by the band La Femme.^[5] The show was watched by 1.3 million viewers, representing 6.3% of the total audience.^[6]

Controversies

Catherine Deneuve, on March 16, 2017, defended director Roman Polanski, accused of raping a 13-year-old minor whom he allegedly drugged, arguing that the victim "did not look her age".^[7]

In 2020, Yann Barthès was accused of not reacting to the racist words of the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy.^[8]

In March 2021, Quotidien was criticized for complacency during an interview of the journalist Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, accused of sexual harassment and rape.^[9]
