We’re used to seeing him beaming and with a big smile between noon and two in Everyone Wants to Take His Place. Or push the song with its candidates in the early evening in Remember by the words.” The “ is none other than Nagui, famous host of France Televisions for several years now. But this joie de vivre, the TV man has not always had. He would have even thought of the worst, “Without having suicidal thoughts”, at some point in his life.
Indeed, our colleagues from here is recalled the setbacks experienced by the presenter, especially when he was fired from Nowhere else on Canal +, which he joined in 1999, less than a year after joining the program. But his galleys do not end there as he confides to the Parisian in 2019. “When I got fired from Nulle Part Ailleurs on Canal + in 2000, I didn’t work for a year and a half”, he informs before recalling that he still owns his production company: “But I still have people who work at Air Productions (his production company, editor’s note). “
However, as bad news never comes on its own, Nagui learns some time later that his company is facing a major problem: “Until the day my accountant told me I had to file for bankruptcy.” Six years later, he was also kicked out of radio RTL. Like any human being, this is too much for the presenter who sees the situation very badly. However, he assures that he never wanted to end his life, admitting all the same that he had some dark thoughts at the time: “Without having suicidal thoughts, I tell myself that the easiest thing would be for me to have a fatal car accident”.
Fortunately, his piloting skills allowed him to avoid the worst during this crossing of the desert and no doubt that the host is delighted. Because he is always with us, he allows us to brighten up our lunch all week long and have a good time in front of certain classics of French and international song.
