This Thursday’s “Complément d’investigation” program will be dedicated to one of the most polarizing figures on French television: Cyril Hanouna.
Broadcast at 11 p.m. on France 2, this program promises to lift the veil behind the scenes of the media empire built by Hanouna. Between enthusiasm, concern and decided reactions, the French television landscape is agitated as this broadcast approaches.

A shocking media revelation to come about Cyril Hanouna?
The suspense around “Additional Investigation” is built on carefully orchestrated anticipation on both sides.
For its part, France 2 is teasing its show while Cyril Hanouna, known for his outspokenness and his controversial shows, does not hold back from reacting either, intending to take advantage of the bad buzz to create buzz.
The host even watched the teaser of the show live with his columnists in “Touche pas à mon poste” (TPMP). We saw him navigate between irony and seriousness, arousing both curiosity and apprehension among his loyal spectators and beyond.
Hanouna’s reaction: between humor and defense
Hanouna, always ready to play with the limits of television, made fun of the extracts presented, even suggesting that this broadcast could mark the end of his own show, TPMP.
Through these comments, he demonstrates an ability to position himself as a victim while remaining master of the media game, a tactic that has often characterized his career.
TPMP: The underside of “the biggest buzz machine”
“Additional investigation” promises to reveal the mechanisms behind the success of TPMP, presented as “the biggest buzz machine on TV”.
This focus on the production methods and strategies behind the Hanouna show promises potentially destabilizing revelations for the French media landscape.
Faced with this critical attention, Hanouna does not remain passive. He announced the preparation of a counter-investigation which would be broadcast on C8, his channel, in prime time.
Jacques Cardoze (former presenter of Complément d’investigation) would be at the helm of this show which would target France Télévisions and its investigative show. This approach represents a form of response typical of Hanouna, which does not shy away from a media confrontation.
At first he was delighted. Then #ComplementDenquete investigated…and he promised to delete us!

A post-broadcast debriefing already scheduled
The planning does not stop there since Hanouna plans to carry out a debriefing of “Complément d’investigation” on the Friday evening following its broadcast, a way to regain control of the story and engage directly with its audience.
This strategy shows his ability to use every media opportunity to his advantage.
Hanouna vs Complementary investigation: a media battle to follow
The program “Complément d’investigation” on Cyril Hanouna and the host’s orchestrated reaction promise a fairly tense media battle.
Between revelations, defense and counterattack, the French television landscape is preparing for a potentially historic television moment. It remains to be seen how the public will react to this confrontation between a PAF giant and a renowned investigative show.
