It first aired on 16 September 2006; after fourteen seasons, it ended on the 4 July 2020. Ruquier was assisted by two columnists: notable personalities have starred on the show, including Éric Zemmour, Éric Naulleau, Natacha Polony and Yann Moix. Secondary columnists were also sometimes present, including humourists Jonathan Lambert and Nicolas Bedos."Quatorze ans après ses débuts, clap de fin pour « On n’est pas couché »", Le Monde (in French), 4 July 2020.
Content The show ran for about 190 minutes with no publicity breaks. Ruquier started by a monologue that lasted for about 20 minutes; he presented the past week's news with humour. He also presented some of the week's best cartoons before turning to his columnists for comments. The five guests (mainly actors, singers, writers) then talked about their projects and interacted with the columnists. A personality (often a politician, philosopher, union leader) was then interviewed by Ruquier and his columnists for about an hour.
