A program which will be divided into several parts and the one broadcast this Saturday, June 11 was devoted to the period 1990-2000. Bigdil, Club Dorothée, Sacrée Soirée or even. Frou Frou. A broadcast accompanied by comments from animators (former and current) who have marked this decade.
Philippe Risoli swings after being fired from TF1
Among them, Philippe Risoli, the channel’s flagship host who presented “Millionaire” from 1991 and 1999 and “Le Juste Prix” between 1992 and 2001. Ousted in 2001 after years of good and loyal service, the host confided in a rare interview with Télé Star. “Everything stopped suddenly: on August 31, 2001, I was at TF1 and on September 1, I was no longer there! On some level, the phone doesn’t shut down overnight. It rings less and you who have never called end up making a few calls, even if you don’t like to beg. Naively, I thought that professional qualities always end up winning” said the 68-year-old host.
“But there is in this profession, a bunch of envious and embittered people who put your head under water. So I had two or three difficult years, but lucky to have a family who supported me.” he continued.
The one who knew how to bounce back in the theater and who is currently playing in the play “Bonne pioche” and who played in “Piège à Matignon” with Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut, seems to still have a lot to say.One day, a new program director arrives and some, who you thought were your friends when they were eyeing your place, end up stealing it from you. I didn’t want to do it at the time but I will tell it one day” he concluded.
