It is a record that Marie-Sophie Lacarrau would have preferred to hold, but his joker Jacques Legros beat her to the post! This Tuesday, December 26, 2023, due to the end-of-year celebrations, the incumbent left her place for a fortnight to Jacques Legros, and the journalist achieved a real audience success the day after Christmas. As the figures from Médiamétrie reveal, more than 5.10 million viewers watched the 1 p.m. of the one who has held the position of joker on TF1’s 1 p.m. show for 25 years. Very popular, the journalist, who was Jean-Pierre Pernaut’s second-in-command for more than twenty years, attracted 44.2% of the entire public between 12:58 p.m. and 1:44 p.m.
With this score, Jacques Legros achieves the season record, which was until now set at 43.8%. He had made August 28, 2023, the date of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau’s return to school after two months of vacation. But the record of the year remains in the hands of Jacques Legros: in fact, on July 17, the 72-year-old journalist was a hit by bringing together 45.1% of the public. With the score achieved this Tuesday, it thus achieved the two highest audiences for the 1 p.m. news on TF1, and Marie-Sophie Lacarrau is satisfied with the bronze medal…
Nathanaël de Rincquesen is struggling, Julian Bugier is doing much better
Frontally, Nathanaël de Rincquesen, who was acting as Julian Bugier, had great difficulty resisting Jacques Legros. The journalist only gathered 2.34 million followers for 20.1% of the public, a score down slightly compared to the average scores achieved by newspapers. On October 5, the holder achieved an audience success against his ex-sister Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, by bringing together up to 24.5% of viewers. A nice success for someone who is regularly replaced by Jean-Baptiste Marteau, Julien Benedetto, Karine Baste-Régis and occasionally Sophie Le Saint and David Boéri.
