To this day, Michel Drucker remains one of the favorite animators of the French. During his career, he has also had the chance to talk to countless celebrities. At 80, the husband of Dany Saval is not about to hang up the apron. Quite the contrary! “Passion does not tire. I have a taste for other people. I have always wanted to see people, talk to them, move them and make them smile. After my triple bypass surgery, the cardiologists told me: ‘You left for 200,000 kilometres!'”, said the famous journalist for France Info in 2022.
And to add determined: “Being 80 today is not that old! Lelouch is 83 and making his 50th film. Hugues Aufray94, still sings and Line Renaud94 years old on July 2, is still shooting”. Despite his past health concerns, Michel Drucker has every intention of ending his career with panache in public service: “It’s my home, I spent more than 50 years there. I will never leave it. And I am very attached to the management of France Télévisions who was exemplary when I was very ill […] And that, I’m not about to forget.”

Subject that the latter evoked without filter in his autobiography called “But what are we going to do with you” unveiled in 2007: “When young people in the trade come to see me, my questions amaze them. What do you drink? Do you smoke? How many hours do you sleep? What is your life like? Are you married, where do you live? What distance is there between your home and your work? Do you play sports, what sports? And in the summer, what do you do?
For him, there is no secret, hard work and honesty always pay off : “I may look like a casting director, but that’s essential. I gave my niece no other advice when she started.” In this passage, Michel Drucker speaks precisely of Marie Drucker who managed to shine in turn on television.
