During his studies, Cyril Hanouna was not at all predestined to become an animator. By obtaining a scientific baccalaureate with a specialty in biology, his aim was rather to study medicine like his father. However, he quickly changed paths after high school by enrolling at INTEC, a school of accountancy, but at the same time he discovered a passion for the audiovisual sector.
Cyril Hanouna begins by trying his luck in game shows like The right price and May the best win. Then, at the age of 23, he made his debut as a chain trainee Comedy! where he writes the texts of the trailers. It was on this same channel that he subsequently obtained his first job as a TV host and co-presented, from 2000 until 2002, the second and third seasons of The Big Show.
From 2003, Cyril Hanouna migrated to M6 to take the reins of the daily morning show Morning Live. After which, it flutters from chain to chain and struggles to stabilize itself. It was only in 2010 that the consecration came with the launch of Do not touch My TV. An entertainment program that is still as successful today, bringing together more than a million viewers every evening.
