- On C à vous on January 15, Duhamel said Jordan Bardella "lacks culture" but credited him with notable political ease and aptitude at a young age.
- He added that Marine Le Pen also shows an absence of cultural dimension, saying it was already evident with her and is more pronounced in Bardella.
- Duhamel appeared to discuss his new book, Les politiques, portraits et croquis, and to highlight a France 5 documentary about him scheduled for January 18 at 23:00.
- He noted that Marine Le Pen has repeatedly declined his lunch or dinner invitations, and he referenced a tense 2010 televised exchange as part of their distant relationship.
