This is a page that turns for Julia Vignali. The one who was chosen by the management of France Television to form a shock duo with Thomas Sotto in “Télématin” in 2021 has decided to leave the ship. From the start of the next school year, the companion of Kad Merad indeed leaves the morning of France 2 to succeed Sophie Davant in “Affaire Conclue”.
A hasty departure, but certainly with the feeling of accomplishment. And for good reason, Julia Vignali has helped revive the audiences of “Télématin” insofar as, since her arrival and that of her sidekick, the program has brought together nearly three million viewers on average.
At the dawn of a new challenge that awaits her, Julia Vignali confided in our colleagues from TVMag. The opportunity to take stock of this second season at the head of the first morning of France, but also to look back on its beginnings. “It’s been great. I did news interviews, which I didn’t do the first year. And then, with Thomas, we found our cruising speed. I posted a picture yesterday of the two of us from the first show in August 2021. We wore identical blue shirts because we forgot to think about how we were going to dress! There was great excitement when it came time to go on air. It took time to apprehend the driver, to know the chroniclers. It was a lot of work to set up. This second season, everything was in place, it was a fun year, we took advantage”confided the journalist.

“He is our father to all”
An enthusiasm that pushed our colleagues from TV Magazine to ask the journalist if she could have continued to hold the reins of “Télématin” for a long time… A question to which Julia Vignali answered bluntly by evoking the companion of Sophie Davant to illustrate her point: “I don’t know how William Leymergie managed to stay for more than thirty years! He is our father to all. It’s great but it’s a lot of sacrifice “, she said.
As a reminder, the one who hosts “William at noon” on C8, presented the morning show of France 2 from 1985 to 1986 and from 1989 to 2017.
