Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon-style French Late Show ‘Le Late Avec Alain Chabat’ Launches Amid Fanfare & Mixed Response
24.11.2022 - 20:37 / deadline.com
A new French Late Show, fronted by popular actor, director and writer Alain Chabat launched on France’s TF1 amid much fanfare this week in France’s latest attempt to crack the format.
Running Monday to Friday from 10.55 pm, Le Late Avec Alain Chabat launched on Monday (November 21), with the host joking in his opening spiel: “I nearly did this show in 2018, but it was during the World Cup in Russia, so it was a bit touchy. But now, it’s in Qatar, so tout va bien.”
The show was commissioned by TF1 Executive Vice President, Content Ara Aprikian to fill a late-night slot that opened up due to the timing of the Qatar World Cup soccer matches, earlier in the evening.

On the Trail of the Marsupilami.
Internationally, Chabat is best known for his collaborations with director Quentin Dupieux on films such as Cannes 2022 title Smoking Causes Coughing, Berlinale selection Incredible But True and Reality, and also put in an appearance as Napoleon Bonaparte in Night In A Museum 2.
He returned to TV studio in 2018 for a reboot of his Canal+ show Burger Quiz, featuring two teams called ketchup and mustard, co-writing the new version with son Max Chabat, who is also one of the writers on the late show.
TF1 has been teasing the new show since September beginning with a sketch, light-heartedly poking fun at King Charles’s viral ink pen malfunction at a signing ceremony, in the days after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, also starring Jamel Debbouze and Lea

‘Women Talking’ Star Claire Foy: “Films Like This Need To Become Part Of Cinema, Not Some Sort Of Outreach”
Claire Foy is nothing but versatile. In 2018, after winning an Emmy as Elizabeth II in The Crown, the 38-year-old Brit appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s show and threw down the intro to The Sugarhill Gang’s hit ‘Rapper’s Delight’. The same year, she was astronaut Neil Armstrong’s wife in First Man, but in Oscar hopeful Women Talking she plays Salome, for whom the moon landing is pie in the sky. Directed by Sarah Polley and produced by Frances McDormand, it takes place in a strict religious community where women and girls have been abused by their menfolk.
