French humorist Tom Baldetti recorded a new comedic segment titled “C’est ma dernière” for the France Inter program La Bande Originale.
The release marks the continued rise of Baldetti, a former rugby player who has transitioned into a professional comedy career. His presence on a major national radio platform allows him to reach a wide audience with his specific brand of observational humor.
Baldetti, who is 27 [1], produces the segment as part of his regular column, “La chronique de Tom Baldetti” [2]. The content focuses on his particular mood, and his personal aversion to things coming to an end.
In the segment, Baldetti said, “C’est ma dernière” [2]. This phrase underscores the theme of the recording and his quirky approach to timing and conclusions.
The comedian has previously discussed his unconventional path to his current career. In a separate account of his experiences, Baldetti said, “J’ai été pistonné pour être éboueur” [1]. This reference to being helped into a role as a garbage collector highlights the self-deprecating style he employs in his public persona.
The broadcast and accompanying online content appeared in early October 2025 [1]. The segment was distributed via the France Inter radio broadcast, the La Bande Originale podcast, and YouTube [2].
Baldetti's transition from professional sports to the arts is a central part of his public identity. By leveraging his background as an athlete, he brings a different physical and social perspective to the French comedy scene — a move that has helped him secure a regular slot on one of the country's most prominent radio stations [1].
““C’est ma dernière.””
Baldetti's presence on France Inter signifies a trend in French media where non-traditional performers, particularly former athletes, are finding success in the comedy circuit. By blending a sports background with a 'quirky' persona, he is carving out a niche that appeals to a broad demographic of listeners across both traditional radio and digital platforms.
