He was the face of TF1 in the 1990s until 2001, until the cessation of Right price. Several years after being “dismissed” by the first channel which no longer really trusted him, Philippe Risoli wanted to take stock of his career, particularly through his book entitled Tell my son that I love himpublished on September 7, 2023 by Editions de The Archipelago.
In the columns ofParis herethe emblematic host of the Millionaire recognized that “it was hard when I left TF1”. However, still in the same interview, he insisted that he did not “never hit rock bottom, like [on a pu le lire parfois]“And, I did not ‘unscrew’, as Michel Drucker wrote in a book, for whom I have sympathy.”he also conceded.

Philippe Risoli responds to criticism from Michel Drucker
Indeed, the words of the presenter of Roll on Sundaydid not really please him, and he once again wanted to make it known this Saturday, September 16, 2023 during an interview given to Telestar. During this interview, Philippe Risoli initially claimed that he remained a “avid spectator” television. “I watch the games; I see who is good or not so good… I regret that there are no more real show presenters”he laments before arriving at Michel Drucker.
“Michel Drucker is someone I admire”initially assures the ex-figure of TF1before continuing: “It’s great for him, given his physical condition, to continue to host shows”. On the other hand, he does not accept the comments of the presenter of Roll on Sundaywho considers him as an animator who “unscrewed”. “I don’t share his point of view. I haven’t changed my mind”he defends himself before specifying: “When we screw up, it’s because we made a mistake. I was part of the top 10 presenters and I disappeared”. “I am not dead !”, he concluded with a smile on his lips. A way of making it clear that he soon plans to return to television and, why not, overshadow Michel Drucker? Only the future will tell us.
