Early life and education
Aymeric Caron was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer in the department of Pas-de-Calais,[1] the son of a teacher and primary school director and a nurse mother.[2] He first thought about becoming a cartoonist, but after having seen a war reporter, he found his vocation of journalist.[3] He studied a Classe préparatoire lettres et sciences sociales (literature and social science) at the Lycée Faidherbe of Lille and then graduated at the École Supérieure de Journalisme of Lille in May 1995. He then left France to work in Shanghai in a studio of radiophonic production of the French consulate. He came back in France working for the channels TF1, LCI and France 3.
Television career
In 1998, he joined Canal+ working as a journalist. He is in charge by the redaction of the channel, to cover different conflicts like those from Kosovo, Afghanistan, Côte d'Ivoire, Congo and Iraq. With several journalists, he joined the team of the news information during the fusion of the redaction from the channels Canal+ and I-Télé in June 2001. He also replaced some presenters during their vacation period.
In September 2012, he joined the program On n'est pas couché presented by Laurent Ruquier broadcast every Saturday at the second part of the evening on France 2. He replaces Audrey Pulvar as a columnist with Natacha Polony. He often has violent confrontations with his guests including Tristane Banon and Véronique Genest. In May 2014, during a confrontation with Alexandre Arcady, cut at the montage by the production of the program, about his last film 24 Days, there were multiple critics and Aymeric Caron was even accused of antisemitism.
In September 2014, after a confrontation with Bernard-Henri Lévy about the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict on the same program, Aymeric Caron would have made the object of threats that were serious enough so that the Paris Police Prefecture reinforce the patrol around his home. In September 2015, he is replaced by Yann Moix who is now a polemist on the program.
