3.7Salut les Terriens! is a French talk show hosted by Thierry Ardisson, launched on Canal+ on November 4, 2006, and then moved to C8 on September 10, 2016. The show subsequently changed its name and format in 2018 to become Les Terriens du Samedi! (The Earthlings of Saturday!). Initially conceived as a humorous take on current events with several guests and various games and segments, it later evolved into a more structured format with panel discussions and regular segments. In 2018, Thierry Ardisson sought to revamp the concept, believing the previous version had run its course, hence the transition to Les Terriens du samedi! with a new set and new segments, and a 360-degree turn in the ideology of the guests.

NR"N'importe qui" is a documentary, shot in Mayenne in the fall of 2015. It talks about everything and anything. We see a donkey, two sheeps. We see lots of goats there, including François, whom we know in Laval under the name of "The bald one". François goes from house to house to question people about democracy. Dialogues are formed, sometimes unraveled. We still wonder.
