This Sunday, August 28 at 1:30 p.m., the host will inaugurate the transfer of his program “Vivement dimanche”. After more than twenty years spent on France 2 every Sunday afternoon, Michel Drucker is about to install his famous red sofa on France 3. “It will be at the time of the family Sunday lunch and we will have coffee with me. And there will be no ad breaks! I’m going to do a Strongly Sunday of yesterday, today and tomorrow. I will pay tribute to the current generation of comedians, highlight new ones and pay tribute to those who made us laugh. I’ve always loved showing people what they like and what they might like. This is my passion“said the host on June 27 on France Info.
While he will soon celebrate his 80th birthday (on September 12) and despite a big health problem, Michel Drucker does not see himself hanging up. “We are all so addicted to this life, this highlighting, this notoriety, that to deprive ourselves of it would be a ‘little death’. And then, I don’t know how to do anything else. It’s like for an athlete who can no longer play football or ride a bike following an accident, it’s the anxiety of not being at the best of his level. When you have made your job your passion and it stops, it’s scary“, he explained.
With nearly sixty years of career, Michel Drucker can boast of having known almost everything, he who started as a sports journalist. But in an interview given to our colleagues from “Soir Mag”, the companion of Dany Saval confides all the same that he has a big regret. “Jean-Pierre Elkabbach (president of France Télévisions from 1993 to 1996, editor’s note) wanted me to do the ’20 Heures’ newspaper. It’s my only miss“, he reveals.”Finally, my niece Marie Drucker took care of it. I regretted it because I would have liked to live this experience. For the rest, I went beyond my wildest dreams“, he concludes.
