At the same time, Schneider worked for the program Dimanche on Canal+ and, also on that channel, appeared as a commentator in the program Un café, l'addition (One coffee and the bill) with Pascale Clark from September 2007 to June 2008. She was also a regular columnist on RTL on the show On refait le monde (Remaking the World), then hosted by Nicolas Poincaré.
