description This article analyses highly confrontational sequences of polemical debate in a television talk-show. Using the notion of "interpellation" (i.e. accusation or call for attention), and combining elements from enunciation theory and interactional linguistics, the article will show that the particular set-up of the TV show leads inevitably to a "clash". Indeed, the mode of participation that is at the heart of the set-up correlates with the fact that the participants resort to modes of address that accentuate the virulence of their exchanges, interrupting their interlocutor and even going as far as insulting them. The raison d'être for this set-up is not to inform but to entertain the audience by presenting them with a confrontation and appealing to their emotions rather than their reason.
