With "Spicy!" ", Téva continues its "positive and joyful" feminist turn

Perfect for spending an engaged and fun evening, the 100% female show "Piquantes!" goes "from the trash to the most subtle", not to create controversy and bad buzz, but to tackle serious subjects with the weapon of humor.

Usually scheduled in the second half of the evening, the weekly talk show led by comedian Nicole Ferroni, produced by Nathanaele Sisso, will be broadcast in prime time on Wednesday, March 8, for International Women's Rights Day. Today's guests: Anne Depetrini and Arnaud Tsamère, both comedians and comedians. They do not hide being sometimes surprised at the freedom of speech on the set: "Can this be broadcast? »

The columnists – all comedians or actresses – were selected for their talent, their ideas, their sense of formula. This March 8, they revisit the theme of feminism with their usual derision, under the title "Too much feminism is killing feminism? ". Each trait of humor points to a real question. "We've been hearing men's point of view for years, they're afraid of losing their power," says Florence Mendez, who defines herself as the show's "sniper" with her "Infomaniak" column. "I'm not going to make a joke to make a joke: we become audible with humor, we sow a little seed", wants to believe Farah, who analyzes and deciphers in her column ("Past and Curious") images of archives.

"Ship Captain"

Presenter Nicole Ferroni sees herself as a "boat captain", ready to weather the storm. On deck, a close-knit female crew. Relaxed atmosphere, between laughter, jokes and small talk. But the course is set: "seize March 8 to take stock of the current situation, give momentum to the [feminist] movement".

The shoot begins with a very Simone de Beauvoir existential question: "Why did you choose to be a woman?" Anne Depetrini replies in the same tone: "As nothing is expected of us, it's more fun." We reinvent ourselves..." She talks about her experience at the HEC orals several years ago: half of the boys could be selected, the girls, on the other hand, only represented a third of the selections. "Sometimes you have to move your chair back to realize that you're not sitting at the right table or even that you should be standing," adds Thaïs Vauquières, in her "It's going to be fine" column.

It's going to be fine, that's what Catherine Schöfer, general manager of Téva, hopes for the very committed repositioning of her channel. “From feminine, Téva becomes feminist. Powerful and cool, positive and joyful, assertive and inclusive feminism,” she sums up. Actress and screenwriter Rosa Bursztein had already hit the airwaves in the fall of 2022 with "OrgasmiQ, the show that really talks about sex". As for "Spicy!" “, grossophobia, body hair, no bra (“without a bra”), nothing will be forgotten by the “feminist despite himself” talk show, as Nathanaele Sisso says – not without irony.
