Tiphaine Auzière, the daughter-in-law of the President of the Republic, is the new columnist for the show Touche pas à mon poste since October 2024. An unexpected recruit for Cyril Hanouna’s team.
Cyril Hanouna got his hands on a new recruit, and not the least, only a few weeks after the start of Touche pas à mon poste: Tiphaine Auzière. Her name may not speak to the majority, but she is the daughter of the First Lady and therefore… the daughter-in-law of Emmanuel Macron. Followers of the C8 show will have noticed that the relative by marriage of the President of the Republic has already made several appearances on the TPMP set: on Wednesday October 2 and again this Wednesday October 9. Before that, Tiphaine Auzière had already attended the TPMP set but only as a guest at the time of the release of her book Assises. It was last May and nothing since then has suggested that the lawyer and writer was recruited by the C8 show.
The regularity of Tiphaine Auzière’s appearances on the show had not been announced until Wednesday, October 9, with a sentence from Cyril Hanouna: “We receive Tiphaine Auzière, our lawyer, like every week.” Recruitment is now official and she has accepted a very specific mission. Every Wednesday, Brigitte Macron’s daughter will take her place among the TPMP columnists and every week she will address a particular theme: law.
Logical given the profession of the columnist. For her first interventions in the C8 show, Tiphaine Auzière focused on the trial of Mazan and the victim Gisèle Pélicot, then on the delinquency of minors put on the table after the death of a VTC driver in Marseille killed by a 14-year-old teenager, who had been commissioned to murder another person according to the investigation.
Law…and politics?
On the program of interventions by Tiphaine Auzière from TPMP: decryptions and clarifications on legal questions raised by political subjects or news items. The lawyer sticks to explanations on the functioning of the legal system or findings by citing statistics from the Ministry of Justice or elements linked to current events. No politicized analysis of legal subjects in sight a priori, but the policies relating to security or affecting the judicial environment having already been put forward by the government, the question could quickly arise.
However, if she is a lawyer, Tiphaine Auzière is also involved in politics. Not surprising given the identity of his father-in-law. Unsurprisingly, it was with the Renaissance presidential party that the forty-year-old worked, especially during Emmanuel Macron’s first presidential campaign and then in the years that followed. The new columnist seems less committed to the party since the start of Emmanuel Macron’s second five-year term. Could his political preferences, compatible with those of the Head of State, be reflected during his interventions on TPMP? The future will tell, but Tiphaine Auzière does not seem to want to take the path of an overly political column.
If Emmanuel Macron’s daughter-in-law is now part of the TPMP team, it remains to be seen how long this collaboration will last. The flagship C8 show should no longer be available on TNT from February 28. The Canal+ group channel, which was ordered to pay more than 7.6 million euros due to slip-ups often committed on Cyril Hanouna’s set, was not selected for the reallocation of frequencies in 2025. It however appealed the decision and appealed to the Council of State to try to remain on TNT.
Tiphaine Auzière still has five months ahead of her to deliver her columns on a TNT channel, at least if the collaboration does not end before… TPMP has indeed had innumerable columnists, during its fifteen seasons, and some only stayed on set for a few months.
