It is also on this same channel that he has been working since the start of the 2018 school year with programs like Capital or It can happen to you which he hosts from Monday to Friday on M6. During his interview with Pascale de la Tour du Pin, Julien Courbet looked back on his career and his years spent alongside Cyril Hanouna in Do not touch My TV.

A very lively meeting between Cyril Hanouna and Julien Courbet on the set of Without a doubt

Before being one of the columnists and temporary host of Do not touch My TVJulien Courbet first knew Cyril Hanouna at the time of Without a doubt. “The first time I met him was for sure Without a doubt where he asked for permission to use the set to make a DVD where he did sketches. I had never really met him before. I had interviewed him, he acted as a witness, an impossible stupidity. That’s how we met.” recounted Julien Courbet.

“When things went bad for me, he was the first to call me”

In 2014, after a mixed season on TMC where he relaunched Without a doubt, Julien Courbet joined D8 (currently C8). Before that, in 2013, the host was fired from France 2. Questioned by Pascale de la Tour du Pin, Julien Courbet was grateful to Cyril Hanouna: “When things went wrong for me on public service, he was the first to call me. I have the memory and I will never forget it.” In February 2019, in an interview with the magazine TV Major ChannelsJulien Courbet, who was doing his first season on M6 at the time, confided the reasons which pushed him to join Cyril Hanouna in 2014. “I needed this total purge to open up. That’s why I agreed to join Do not touch My TV !, he had justified. You don’t join TPMP if you refuse to disguise yourself. I had this moral contract with Cyril. I immediately understood that he was the boss and never tried to do it the other way around.” he insisted.
