In January 2021, Julian Bugier took the reins of the 1pm newscast on France 2 after having been Laurent Delahousse’s joker for a long time. And it is following the departure of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, that the journalist imposed himself on the presentation of information. And against all expectations, this Friday, December 3, 2021, Julian Bugier has been replaced by … Soprano!
The singer is this year the godfather of the 35th edition of the Telethon which will be broadcast live, and for thirty hours, this Friday 3 and Saturday 4 December on the channels of France Televisions. To ensure the promotion of the famous charity event, he did not hesitate to make a remarkable appearance on the 1pm newscast. At the end of the diary, he indeed took the place of Julian Bugier who offered to replace him for a few moments. A good way to train for the singer who will have to play the animators live, for a good cause.
“It is because you have 30 hours of direct, you will accompany us on the antennas of France Televisions during the whole weekend. I suggest that you come in my place to finish the newspaper” launched the husband of Claire Fournier. To which Soprano replied: “I’ll try”.
Amused by the concept, the singer hastened to give a wink to his hometown, Marseille during the presentation of the weather forecast. “And we leave each other to music with a song by a guy called Soprano, My Everest” he concluded facing a conquered Julian Bugier. “Well there you have it, you’ve won my place!” proclaimed the journalist.
