Either we have it or we don’t. And for once, Nagui did not have it at all. On the other hand, the “pif”, the 61-year-old host has it for telecrochets. Indeed, on the public service for many years, the companion of Mélanie Page makes the beautiful days of France Televisions with “Everyone wants to take its place”before Laurence Boccolini took up the torch, or with “Do not forget the lyrics” which hits every night.
If he is an excellent animator, Nagui will never be an artist’s agent or a talent scout. He is aware of this and recognized it during his visit to “C to You” on March 24, 2023, when he mentioned a hilarious anecdote. During her visit, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine asked Bruno Guillon, Nagui’s sidekick: “Second question for you: who did Nagui accept, at the time, to interview reluctantly?”

Nagui almost refused Jean-Jacques Goldman
“Is it Richard Cocciante because he had the same cut as him? Is it Jean-Jacques Goldman because he thought he had no future and found that the song Il suffira d’un signe was unbearable? Or was it David Bowie because he didn’t speak French?”asked the host to Bruno Guillon who, sure of himself, answered the third option.
“No, it’s Jean-Jacques Goldman!”, corrected the host. Surprised by this response, she directly addressed the principal concerned: “Is that true? You interviewed him reluctantly and it was for what radio station?”
Patrick Coutin, more interesting than Jean-Jacques Goldman for Nagui
“For radio Galère. A press officer offers me to interview Patrick Coutin with ‘I like watching girls’ which was THE hit of the summer. And she says to me ‘you will only get it if you do the little young , Jean-Jacques Goldman'”he says before confiding: “So I listen to the record and I say to myself ‘no, it’s not going to be possible’. And over a half-hour interview I did 25 minutes of Coutin and quickly Goldman”.
A hilarious moment today, of which “remember very well” Jean-Jacques Goldman, as assured by the acolyte of Bruno Guillon, but who did not take it badly for all that. Indeed, Nagui and him “talk again” today and laugh about it.
