Over the years, Jean-Luc Reichmann has become one of the emblematic figures of the first channel. Every week, viewers enjoy finding it in the 12 noon shots.Let’s not forget that he is also one of the favorite animators of the French. On July 2, on the occasion of the twelve years of his cult show, TF1 decided to broadcast a report focusing on the star dubbed “A destiny out of the ordinary”. The opportunity for admirers of Jean-Luc Reichmann to learn more about his incredible journey.
In the 90s, the companion of Nathalie Lecoultre has several times collaborated with Nagui. For a while, the host of France 2 has also appointed him to be the voice-over of the show entitled May the best win.“He had a quality that for me is essential in television. He had radio in his veins, that sense of timing, that sense of intonation, of how to place his voice, showcasing a host, being funny, being a voice-over,” analyzed Melanie Page’s husband as pointed out Current wife.
“I had asked Jean-Luc not to see the set…”
And that’s not all ! Jean-Luc Reichmann also commented on a completely different show Don’t forget your toothbrush. “He leaves me with the microphone open, from the voice OFF I go voice IN”, remembered Nagui. “ It was an exercise that we had never seen on television. I had asked Jean-Luc not to see the set, but to see the screen and therefore to comment on what he saw in the image as an ordinary viewer could see it”.
But during rehearsals, Jean-Luc Reichmann could (sometimes) do as he pleased. “It was driving me totally crazy,” Nagui confessed. “There was a period when all of a sudden, the floodgates weren’t the same. There were jokes he made that didn’t make me laugh and others that I left on and where he didn’t follow me. There was nothing violent or aggressive, there was just a feeling of, ‘There’s something wrong’.”.
“Animating a show? Is it a valve?”
Over time, Jean-Luc Reichmann ended up proving himself to the chagrin of his sidekick. Beatrice Esposito – who was head of entertainment – was one of the first to spot his potential. “She offered me a casting, the remix of the comeback of the bride and groom of the two. She put me on the other side of the mirror”, explained the main interested party. At this moment, Nagui falls from above…
“My reflex was to say: ‘Jean-Luc? Host a show? Is it a valve?’ It wasn’t jealousy, but clearly when the channel started saying to me: ‘Do you think Jean-Luc could host such a show?’ I had a feeling of potentially losing a member of the team. So no, we are not changing anything. It was without me suspecting the appetite and the desire of Jean-Luc to go there. He was obviously right to do so.” he revealed philosophically. That their admirers are reassured, the duo has managed despite everything to remain very complicit. A beautiful friendship made to last!
