Controversy
Cyril’s reaction to a “bad” answer from a candidate
In the unpublished issue of the France 3 game Slam broadcast on October 3, 2022, the sequence of bad answers from the candidates and the reactions that followed from the host went viral on the Internet, and not in a good way. This is because of the taunting Cyril did to Guillaume’s candidate on live TV. Moments later, when Guillaume asked if they could redo the sequence to avoid humiliation during the broadcast – and all the consequences that might have in his daily life as a teacher at a college – the host refused.
Nicknamed “Corny”
Cyril’s show, Grand concours des régions : Quelle sera la meilleure danse de France has been deemed “hilarious” by multiple users in France. However, Cyril responded with irritation saying that the whole perspective was because it had been referred to as ‘nerdy’ in the trailer. She spoke,
“Dans la bande-annonce de l’émission, vous pouvez entender ‘Non, les danses ne sont pas ringardes!’ “. En quoi? », ont-ils demandé à l’animateur. So Cyril Féraud answered the question. « It is not enough to observe cinq minute d’emission pour se rendre compte que ce n’est pas hand ».
Translation: “In the show’s trailer, you can hear ‘No, the dance isn’t cheap!’ “. In what? “, they asked the facilitator. So Cyril Féraud answered that question. ” You only have to watch the program for five minutes to realize that it is not boring”.
Salary
Cyril receives about 600 Euros per episode of Slam in 2023.
