We knew that Johnny was very very bad. I found myself alone, on the plateau of Anne-Sophie Lapix, without audience, of course. Without a prompter, nor headset. I stayed two and a half hours and I felt the end of the show to arrive.And at one point, I asked myself how I was going to conclude this issue […] We had twenty years together, we wondered what we would become.
