Regarding the private life of the host, he has always wanted to remain very discreet. In fact, during an interview given to Public , Cyril Féraud was firm about his private life, which must remain so. “My private life must remain private. I want to be quiet. My silence may feed fantasies, but I don't care. I am very happy in my life and it goes through this tranquility', he told the magazine. Asked by Release in 2020, he returned to the insistent rumors calling him homosexual - it had been posted on the Web by a surfer to whom he had replied with irony - and declared: ' It intrigues them to know if I don't talk about my life because I don't have one, because I protect my wife, because I'm gay... '
'I have said several times that I would like to have a child . It will come when I have the time... For the moment, I don't have any. But when I'm a dad, you'll know, I promise!' , he expressed to Public . His desire for paternity, Cyril Féraud also confirmed it in We both :' I am fulfilled professionally speaking, all I need is the little one (…) Father with a little piece of cabbage who comes to see me on a TV set, at whom I can discreetly make faces without it showing on the air. '
A child yes but for the moment, it is true that the animator is very taken between all his various shootings. “On filming days, I get up at 6 a.m., I have my breakfast in makeup. I get home at 9:30 p.m. and I sometimes work on editing my other shows until 1 a.m. I have a military schedule : I learned to organize myself. For now, I'm crossing my fingers, I'm having the best time of my life, but it's the reward for a job well done' , he explained.
Lately, the facilitator has been touched by a significant drama, the loss of his father. 'It's here worst time of my life (2019, editor's note), because when we have the frenetic pace of filming that I have, it forced me to put everything in parentheses . My dad passed away from cancer. I accompanied him for almost two months [...] When my dad was hospitalized and I understood the outcome, there was no question for me of going on a TV set and doing the puppet saying 'I hope you are well and that you have a smile'. I was going to lose my father' , he told the microphone of RTL.
Since September 24, 2022, Cyril Féraud host the show 100% logic . And the show continues to grow in popularity. Indeed, the right audiences are there.

As a reminder, the goal is to answer a series of questions from the easiest to the most difficult ( only 1% of the population can answer it ).

On Twitter, however, Cyril Féraud's performance is not always unanimous. Indeed, on the blue bird social network, a user was even quite violent: '100% logical, I haven't seen anything more embarrassing than Féraud. The show isn't bad, but the animation is totally crap.' A remark to which Cyril Féraud simply replied: ' Change the channel , y'a le choix! Kisses #100Logic ' .
Apparently, you can't please everyone. But one thing is certain: the animator's career is not about to end. We wish him a very happy birthday again.
