Since 2010, Jean-Luc Reichmann has hosted The 12 strokes of noon, a game that brings together more than four million fans every day. In fourteen years, the host saw hundreds of champions parade, and if some have made more of an impression, there is no question for the host of creating friendships with them. As Émilien revealed in an interview with Here isthe links he has established with Jean-Luc Reichmann since his arrival in the game on September 25, 2023 are only professionaland the two men only talk to each other, and have a relationship that could not be more serious.
“Our relationship is obviously centered around the game” explained the young man who has more than 736,000 euros in winnings and gifts. And to continue: “He is very nice off camera and he contributes to the good atmosphere on set (…) I talk to him from time to time about this subject (notoriety, editor’s note) to find out how it’s going but also for him -even, to know how he should handle these subjects once the camera is rolling, and to know what he feels like saying or not. But it remains focused on the game“. Words which recall those that other champions before him had made, and which also indicated having very structured relationships with the host, who wants the midday masters to remain in their place as candidates, without ever establishing any friendship.
Jean-Luc Reichmann has distanced himself since the Quesada affair
A few months ago, on the occasion of the annual bonus The 12 shots of Christmas, Bruno Hourcadereigning record holder for the game which peaks at 252 entries And €1,026,000 winnings and gifts, had revealed that he had not been around Jean-Luc Reichmann since the end of his career, and that they did not exchange by SMS either: “We ultimately only see each other twice a year, since there is only the Battle of the Masters and the Christmas bonus, since geographically, we are not very close.” A distance that Jean-Luc Reichmann perhaps imposes on himself since the Christian Quesada affairthe host having been traumatized by the revelations made about the champion, with whom he had made TV appearances and magazine interviews.
Christian Quesada soon to be eclipsed from the top 3?
Precisely, Emilien has still not succeeded in making Christian Quesada forget. He is now the fourth greatest champion of 12 shots of noon, and recently overtook Paul El Kharrat. As of Wednesday March 6, 2024, the young man reached 163 participations, €736,732 in winnings and gifts, 58 masterstrokes and 6 mysterious stars. To enter the top 3 and thus definitively eliminate Christian Quesada from the latter, Émilien still needs to achieve 31 victories. Indeed, Christian Quesada participated in 193 shows between July 2016 and January 2017, and won more than €809,000 in winnings and gifts. In second place is Éric, who pocketed more than €921,000 between November 2019 and June 2020, in 199 participations. The first female record holder in the game is none other than Célineranked seventh in the general ranking, who, between March and July 2023, amassed €489,495 in winnings and gifts.
