Paul de Saint Sernin’s Rise to Comedy Stardom
It’s a story of redemption. Paul de Saint Sernin suffered from many stutters in his childhood. He solidified his career as a comedian in front of the general public by being the sniper of “Quelle époque !” alongside Léa Salamé. Nothing and no one escaped his quick wit: hidden in the audience, he only waits for the right moment to deliver his punchline. And it often hits the mark! Louis Sarkozy was clashed by Paul de Saint Sernin, but did not laugh at his joke.
Since then, Paul de Saint Sernin has performed with his first show, where he talks about his passion for football, his childhood, and his neurodiversity: in fact, he was diagnosed as gifted at the age of 11. His sketches are both sharp and tender. Paul de Saint Sernin is making more and more of a name for himself among French comedians. And the question of whether he prepares his jokes well in advance or not is about to take on a whole new challenge.
When Will Paul de Saint Sernin be Bertrand Chameroy’s Fill-in on France Inter?
Indeed, starting next week, he will make listeners of France Inter laugh. According to Paris Match, Paul de Saint Sernin will be Bertrand Chameroy’s fill-in on the morning show from Monday, April 27 to Thursday, April 30. He had already appeared on the radio in 2023 to do fill-ins in the morning show replacing Matthieu Noël. This time, he will have his own segment at 7:55 am, just after Benjamin Duhamel’s interview.
“I am super happy to come and make jokes on France’s number one radio,” says Paul de Saint Sernin, even though he admits he is not a morning person. The comedian, who is in a relationship with the daughter of a very popular star, is “very scared to set [his] alarm clock,” but promises a segment that reflects who he is. “It has to come from the gut and the heart. I won’t get up at 5 am to do something that doesn’t excite me,” he told Paris Match. And the stakes are high: according to Médiamétrie, over two million listeners tuned in to Bertrand Chameroy from January to March 2026. Good luck!
Why is Bertrand Chameroy Taking a Break from France Inter at the end of April?
Bertrand Chameroy has a full schedule. In the evening, he presents his humorous segment on “C à vous,” a show where he has revealed the type of guests he struggles to deal with. But in the early morning, he also hosts his segment on the morning show of France Inter. So, to take a few days off, as reported by Paris Match, he is preparing to temporarily hand over his spot to Paul de Saint Sernin. In May, he will also step away from the radio to cover the Cannes Film Festival for “C à vous.” As of now, no replacement has been announced for him during this period. It’s up to Paul de Saint Sernin to make a successful trial run.
