Every day, Jean-Luc Reichmann is at the controls of a new number of the game show The 12 noon shots, on TF1. The candidates follow one another in the hope of becoming the Midday Master and thus breaking records. The current one is held by Bruno who has 252 participations on his counter and 1,026,107 euros in earnings. The presenter of 61 years does not hesitate to cook the participants so that they tell their private life. But this Friday April 15, 2022, it was he who wanted to talk about a painful subject.
During the broadcast, the candidates in competition had the opportunity to answer a question about Michel Fugain. “Which song belongs to Michel Fugain’s repertoire?”, asked Jean-Luc Reichmann. Everyone had the choice between several proposals and a certain Margaux selected A nice story. “So the beautiful story, I want to write it now, because he is a person with an extraordinary heart. I had the chance to meet him several times in my life. He is giving us a gift today today. That of being present on the set of 12 noon shots. He is a genius composer. Everyone hums their songs. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a being who is very dear to my heart and who is called Michel Fugain“, launched the companion of Nathalie Lecoultre before welcoming the 79-year-old singer on the set.
After greeting him and singing a few words ofA nice storyJean-Luc Reichmann wanted to make touching secrets about his dad Pierre, who died at the age of 83 in September 2016.”You know you are in my heart forever. I say it, like that, I will get rid of this big emotion“, he began. And, moved, he returned to a memory that will remain forever etched in his memory. “The last concert my dad saw was you. You remember, that day, we were in the middle with mom and dad. And dad sang for the last time. So I wanted to tell you that I love you“, he said with sobs in the voice. Touched, Michel Fugain thanked him for this beautiful declaration of friendship.
This is not the first time that Jean-Luc Reichmann has mentioned his loving dad. In 2017, he was equally moved in 50 Minutes Inside to share his sadness. “It’s been very very very hard, but there’s an unbearable emptiness“, he confessed about his “model“. Today, he therefore only has his mother Josette, whom he is close to and whom he sometimes reveals on social networks. A great bond.
