While she will celebrate tomorrow, December 1, her 66th birthday, Claire Chazal would have recently learned very bad news. The journalist would not find the head of her show Passage des arts which she has been presenting for three seasons. According to information revealed by Closer, the management of France Télévisions would have decided to dismiss the program from the antenna and that without notifying its host. A decision taken by Delphine Ernotte which would have made furious the former companion of Patrick Poivre d’Arvor.
Claire Chazal would therefore be removed from the antenna and replaced by a famous chronicler of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine in “C à vous”. On November 21, The Parisian announced that France 2 was going to launch next January a new cultural magazine, devoted to the seventh art and presented by Pierre Lescure. The former boss of the Cannes Film Festival would be responsible for reviving the audiences at half mast on Sunday evening.
A blow for the journalist who had already been unceremoniously ousted from the presentation of the 20 hours of TF1. On France Télévisions, Claire Chazal seemed to have found or regained a freedom of tone which she visibly lacked on the first channel. “If I didn’t like a movie or a book, I put them aside. It was different at TF1, which sometimes co-produced films that were not really exceptional.“, she confided last September to Entertainment TV.
If the information is confirmed, it would be a real blow for those who admit to having trouble seeing the age scroll. It’s a very difficult passage, I say it and say it again”she confided last March to our colleagues from Gala. “I suffer from it”, she admitted. She also admitted to having “a life as active as at 20”. “It’s what I do and it’s my way of pushing back the idea of age”, she then explained.
