Quotidien (, ) is a French television show, first broadcast 12 September 2016 on the channel TMC. It is presented by Yann Barthès.
History On 9 May 2016, Yann Barthès announced that he was leaving Canal+'s Le Petit Journal, a programme which he had presented since it began in 2004. On the same day the TF1 Group announced that it had recruited Barthès to present two new programmes: a daily show on its channel TMC and a weekly show on the TF1 channel. Canal+ later announced that Barthès would be replaced as presenter of Le Petit Journal by Cyrille Eldin.
The first episode of Quotidien, broadcast 12 September 2016, featured a guest appearance by the singer Vanessa Paradis who opened the series. It also featured an interview with the Socialist Party politician and former Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira, an appearance by the actor Valérie Lemercier, and a live performance by the band La Femme. The show was watched by 1.3 million viewers, representing 6.3% of the total audience.
In 2026, the show gained notable viral attention on the English-speaking Internet particularly Americans as "the French show with the good lighting" in reception of interviews with Hollywood stars such as Margot Robbie and Timothée Chalamet on the show that were observed as better lit and staged as opposed to interviews on American late night talk shows.
Controversies Catherine Deneuve, on 16 March 2017, defended director Roman Polanski, accused of raping a 13-year-old minor whom he allegedly drugged, arguing that the victim "did not look her age".
In 2020, Yann Barthès was accused of not reacting to the racist words of the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
In March 2021, Quotidien was criticised for complacency during an interview of the journalist Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, accused of sexual harassment and rape.
