In September 2024, Sébastien Cauet was ousted from NRJ. The host was the subject of accusations of sexual assault from several women, some of whom were minors, and his image had deteriorated significantly. To compensate for this departure, it was Camille Combal who had been called in for reinforcement. The presenter of Dancing with the stars and of Mask Singer was initially supposed to intervene “for a few weeks”as the station specified in a press release.
Finally, he quickly won over the listeners in the 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. slot, so much so that NRJ offered him a golden contract to extend the adventure. As revealed Here is in January 2025, his production company would have signed a contract worth around 1.6 million euros for seven months of air time. A sum intended to cover the production of the show as well as the remuneration of the collaborators who participate in it.
Camille Combal ends her adventure with NRJ
Eventually, this adventure supposed to last a few weeks lasted almost two years. In a press release published this Thursday, June 4, 2026, the music station announced that Camille Combal would not return for a third season. “The best surprises are the ones you don’t see coming. What was supposed to be a three-month adventure turned into two years on the air of complicity and shared laughter with NRJ listeners. A beautiful break which will end with a smile at the end of the season.” For his part, the host wanted to thank the station and its listeners. “I thank NRJ for the trust placed during these two years. A new adventure awaits me. I thank all the NRJ teams. My team that I love. And above all, the listeners for their loyalty.”
Marie’s companion and Pio’s dad will therefore present his last show on NRJ on June 26. Morgan Serrano, deputy director of music media for the NRJ group, also suggested that new projects were in preparation for the station. “New surprises are already being prepared on NRJwith always the promise to accompany you and entertain you at every moment”he said, without revealing the identity of the person who will succeed Camille Combal.
What will Camille Combal do next school year?
According to information from Paris Match, Camille Combal could join the branches of France Inter from the start of the school year in September. At the same time, he will of course continue to be one of the essential faces of TF1, where he hosts several successful programs. But that’s not all. From December 2026, the host will also take his first steps in the theater alongside comedian Maxime Gasteuil, but also Charlotte Gabris and Jean-François Cayrey.
All will share the poster of The Lettera play in which four friends see their secrets resurface after the death of the fifth member of their gang. A tour of around sixty performances is planned, almost half of which will be in Paris. One thing is certain, even if he is preparing to leave NRJ, the host is not likely to run out of projects in the months to come.
