Young people discover Del Debbio – Libero Quotidiano

Who thinks that the program of Paolo Del Debbio you’re only counting on a “mature” audience among the fans, you’re making a big mistake. Certain, Forehand and backhand bastion of information Network 4 – the more classic viewer likes it and âgé, the one who traditionally follows the channel, but something has changed recently. The kids have discovered the 66-year-old presenter, writer and philosopher, they appreciate him, above all thanks to his direct and even slightly colorful language. We learned that they don’t miss an episode of the show because the journalist, who certainly isn’t snobbish, has recently invited characters who are unusual for the small screen, but who are well known to teenagers who rarely watch television, let alone a political talk show, which in the last episode recorded an excellent 912,000, 6.13%.

Baby Touchéfor example, trapper, 21 years old, whose real name is Mohamed Amine Amagourfrom Padua of Moroccan origins, was the protagonist of Forehand and backhand a few weeks ago and also of a decidedly “hot” moment. He had argued with the studio audience and with the other guests, had been “scolded” and asked to calm down. After minutes of tension, derisive applause, half-sentences and threatening tones, the trapper stood up again in an aggressive manner. At that point Del Debbio comes over to make him sit down. «Don’t touch me uncle, don’t touch me, let’s not get into these things. Go back to your place and I’ll go back to mine,” the 21-year-old replied. «My place is everywhere», is the impatient reply of the host. «And then mine too, otherwise I’ll leave». And he leaves. Del Debbio does not accept rudeness, we have learned this. In the aftermath of the incident, the kids talked about nothing else at school. And do you listen to them? Peaks of almost 15% share.

Before that episode, there had been another. A remote question and answer between the journalist and Baby Gang, another exponent of trap, a musical genre incomprehensible to those over eighteen. A phenomenon not to be underestimated if we think that their violent songs are also observed by investigators. The police commissioner of Milan Petronzi spoke about it in his speech for the police party just a few days ago. Baby Gang records a video against Del Debbio, who during the episode of the show announces the answer: «he had said the other time that this was a broadcast for old people, now he has sent me another message where he says to me, without talking about me, “but what are your plans” etc….”, says the journalist. «Evidently Baby Gang is suffering from premature senility, in the sense that he too has become old because he always watches the program». Applause, cheers, ovations. Then the appeal: “Come back, prodigal son, I’ll welcome you, but then if you’re an idiot I’ll throw you back out.” The kids comment on the episodes live by sending each other messages and smileys and talk about it the next day at school.

Another guest that the kids really like is the most unpredictable host on the radio, Giuseppe Crucianistar of the Mosquito with David Porec. The mosquito it has many fans among the very young, fan clubs, dedicated Facebook pages, all very entertained by certain rather strong episodes. Cruciani undoubtedly has a transversal audience that appreciates him, both after work when he is in the car perhaps in traffic, and online catching up on episodes. Well, when Cruciani goes to Forehand and backhand there are sparks: one of the latest episodes saw the journalist and some activists duel social centers who protested in favor of Gaza. There was talk of the initiatives of the antagonistic left which in recent weeks has prevented conferences and debates by censoring anyone who supported Israel, such as David Parenzo himself at the Sapienza University of Rome or the director of Republic Maurizio Molinari at the university, accusing them of supporting the genocide of the Palestinians. «But if Molinari writes a newspaper against the government every day, you know nothing!», «But if you are on TV every day», Cruciani cut it short. Beyond the guests, it is the host’s style, frank and direct, without mincing words, what kids like. And also the contrast between Del Debbio’s intellectual air and his simplicity. Teenagers, and not only them, can no longer stand abstract speeches and political nonsense. Mission accomplished.
