Salut 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.

On n'est pas couché was a French talk show broadcast on France 2 on Saturdays at 11 p.m., hosted by Laurent Ruquier assisted by various columnists.

This hilarious, high-rating format sees a witty host put a panel of opinionated guests – TV commentators, comedians and stars – through their paces in a series of fast-paced formatted segments that catch up on, discuss and make fun of the latest shows and news in the TV world.

The program combines comedy, celebrity, musical guests, and human-interest stories.

Teum-Teum was a French television program hosted by Juan Massenya that aired on France 5 from September 19, 2009, to July 23, 2011. Each month, Juan Massenya took a public figure to the suburbs—a space for meeting and discovering the people who shape life in these neighborhoods. According to producer Stéphane Simon, the show aimed to "take an interest—without naivety or stigmatization—in the people who shape life in France's neighborhoods, across all social backgrounds..." The program was structured around a series of encounters between the guest and local residents. Each meeting took place in a different location: an apartment, a housing project rooftop, a parking lot, a halal butcher shop, or a café.
