“I’ve never done this one, but it’s good!”In The 12 strokes of noon this Saturday, December 9, 2023, Jean-Luc Reichmann caused a burst of laughter after making a pretty mistake that he had never made in thirteen years of hosting the game. Indeed, the host, at the time of the Coup de master, revealed to Emilien, reigning champion for more than three months, the third answer to one of the questions, which is by habit hidden and baptized “The other”. At the turn of a question evoking the alleged budget of the First Ladies of France, the hero of the series Léo Mattéï has completely forgotten a rule that has been imposed on him since 2010, and told Emilien the identity of the First Lady who was hiding behind the masked response.
“Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Brigitte Macron, or Madame Bernadette Chirac… or the other” the host tried to catch up, aware that his mistake had been perceived by everyone, and more precisely by Emilien, all smiles: “The guy didn’t mess up at all. I’ve never done this one before but it’s good. This one is for me”hilariously confessed Jean-Luc Reichmann. In reality, the host explained that he had been victim of a “bug” on his tabletwhich usually does not reveal the content of the hidden response: “I’ve never done that one, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll blame it on the tablet!”
Bernadette Chirac did not cost the French much
In the end, Emilien did not hesitate to mock the host: “Without really knowing what is hidden behind the other, I would say the other”. But Emilien was ultimately wrong since despite twelve years spent at the Élysée alongside Jacques Chirac, Bernadette Chirac was not the First Lady who cost the State the most: it was in reality a question of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, since Bernadette Chirac, who spent 12 years of her life at the Élysée, cost very little money according to the Court of Auditors. Conversely, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy cost 720,000 euros per year to the French State, and our current First Lady costs half as much, approximately 316,000 euros. Colossal figures, which are very far from what Bernadette Chirac cost: “She was much more measured” Zette explained.
