Bruno Guillon: speaking out against racism and having a blast on "Everyone Has Their Say"
Well, yes, Bruno Guillon is in the news again! And frankly, we're not complaining. The French public's favourite presenter (ours, anyway) is at the heart of two hot topics: on one hand, he's speaking out against everyday racism after his interview with Miss France 2025; on the other, he's having an absolute blast on Everyone Has Their Say, to the point where you'd almost forget about Olivier Minne. So, let's catch up with the man of the moment, Bruno, who never ceases to surprise us.
A much-needed rant: "No, that's not on!"
You might have seen it on social media or on a talk show set: Bruno Guillon didn't mince his words. It all started with his interview of Angélique Angarni-Filopon, Miss France 2025. A perfectly standard interview, except the comments under the video quickly took a nasty turn. Everyday racism, attacks on her skin colour, cheap shots... Bruno, who interviews guests every day, had had enough. And he said so, bluntly, on Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine's show: "No, that's not on."
What's striking is that he didn't just fire off a polite tweet. No, he really took the time to explain why these remarks are hurtful, why they poison the daily lives of public figures, and how we can all do better. Honestly, seeing a popular presenter use his fame to call out the trolls? It's refreshing. And when you think about it, it's a welcome change from those shows that gloss over things. Bruno Guillon has proven you can be funny AND committed.
The king of entertainment? "Everyone Has Their Say," Bruno-style
But thankfully, it's not all heavy and serious in our Bruno's life. Because on the work front, it's a non-stop party! Ever since he took the reins of Everyone Has Their Say on public service TV, the game has become even more off-the-wall. Before, we quite liked the version with Olivier Minne – classy and effective. But now, with Bruno, it's like an adult playtime. He cracks jokes, ribs the contestants, makes up silly rules... In short, he creates a great atmosphere.
And viewers are unanimous: Bruno Guillon is more fun than his predecessor. No slight on Olivier, of course; it's just that they have different styles. Where Minne is a bit like the friendly but structured teacher, Guillon is the slightly wacky mate who makes you laugh during break. The result? Ratings are through the roof, and memes and viral clips are flooding social media. The duo with Laurent Ruquier? Absolute gold. They bounce off each other like they've been playing tennis together for twenty years.
Why we love seeing him on screen right now
- He breaks the mould: no more stiff presentation, it's all about improv and fits of giggles.
- He's relatable: whether he's defending Miss France or having a laugh with a contestant, he stays authentic.
- He's not afraid to speak his mind: racism, controversy – he doesn't bury his head in the sand.
- He puts everyone at ease: even the shyest guests end up letting loose.
So, is Bruno Guillon the new star of French TV?
If he keeps this up, they'll soon need to build him a wing at Madame Tussauds. Between his powerful stance on everyday racism and his infectious energy on Everyone Has Their Say, Bruno Guillon ticks all the boxes for the modern presenter: funny, human, and with a social conscience. We can't wait to see what's next, especially if it means more telly moments where we laugh AND think a little. Because, frankly, that does us good.
