For many years, the historic members of the Enfoirés have been leaving the ship one after the other. While Muriel Robin left in 2008, Jean-Jacques Goldman followed her in 2016. In recent years, other key faces like MC Solaar, Maxime Le Forestier, Liane Foly, Pierre Palmade and Michèle Laroque have left. This Friday March 1, 2024, for the 35th anniversary of Enfoirés broadcast on TF1, Mimie Mathy and Lorie Pester will also be conspicuous by their absence. However, many nice returns are announcedlike Lara Fabian, who had not returned for 19 years, or even Raphaël, M. Pokora, Jean-Baptiste Maunier or even Dany Boon.
Interviewed by Tele-Leisure, Anne Roumanoff reveals her regrets at never having been part of the Restos du coeur troupe. The comedian thus explained that she had never been called to join Les Enfoirés, and would have accepted without thinking if the proposal had been submitted to her: “It was never offered to me but yes, I would like it. I don’t know how they choose, if they co-opt each other. I would have my place, that’s for sure. Maybe it will happen one day “ she philosophized, while patiently waiting for her turn.
Michèle Bernier, Lio and Sheila want to be there too
A few years ago, another comedian also pushed the same rant against Les Enfoirés: Michèle Bernier
. Mimie Mathy’s friend bitterly regretted her absence, and claimed, like Anne Roumanoff, to have never been contacted by the programmers. Other personalities have also revealed in recent years that they had never been called but willingly applied: this is the case of the singer Sheila, the singer and guitarist Louis Bertignac, the singer Francis Lalanne, the singer Lio, the singer and actor Michel Jonasz. Instead, Les Enfoirés prefer to welcome younger, lesser-known personalitieslike the dancer Guillaume Diop, the singer Santa, the singer Ycare and the comedian Claudia Tagbo.
