Cyril’s reaction to candidate’s ‘terrible’ answer
In an unpublished episode of France 3 Competition Slam, which aired on October 3, 2022, the candidates’ poor answers and the host’s subsequent reaction went viral on the Internet, and not in a good way. This was due to Cyril’s mockery of candidate Guillaume on live television. Minutes later, when Guillaume asked if they could redo the sequence to avoid being humiliated during the broadcast – and all the consequences this might have on his daily life as a university teacher – the host refused.
On being called “old fashioned”
Cyril’s program “Grand concours des régions: Quelle sera la meilleure danse de France” was considered “old fashioned” by several users in France. However, Cyril angrily responded that the whole angle was because it was called “nerdy” in the trailer. He said,
“Dans la bande-annonce de l’émission, vous pouvez entender ‘Non, les danses ne sont pasringardes!’ “. Are you ok? », ont-ils demandé à l’animateur. Let Cyril Féraud answer the question. « It’s the perfect time to be patient ».
Translation: “In the trailer for the show, you can hear ‘No, the dancing isn’t cheesy!'”. In what way? “, they asked the coordinator. So Cyril Ferro answered the question. “You only have to watch five minutes of the show to know that it is not corny”.
salary
As of 2023, Cyril earns approximately €600 per episode of Slam.
