If there is something that cannot be taken away from Thierry Ardisson, it is his ideas. If some like to recycle concepts that already existed before, the man in black prefers to innovate. And for his big comeback, the famous host of Everyone talks about it is always stronger: this time he is interviewing the dead. Three years after his departure from C8, the one who has shared his life for twelve years with Audrey Crespo-Mara returns to France 3 with his brand new show hotel of time. The concept ? Laurent Baffie’s ex-acolyte interviews mythical personalities who have disappeared, and this within the confines of the sublime Parisian palace Le Meurice. In the columns of Tele-LeisureThierry Ardisson says more about this new project.
Visibly jaded by this new era where, in his words, “there are no more stars“, and those that remain “come less and less on TV“, he preferred to avoid launching yet another talk show. “I decided to bring back to earth the missing legends with incredible destinieshe believes. They are resuscitated thanks to artificial intelligence.” In the trailer, we thus find Dalida, to whom the first episode is dedicated, or even François Mitterrand and Lady Diana. For Dalida, videos of the mythical singer with a tragic destiny have been integrated into the technological process which has “learned “her face, before applying it to that of the actress, who was facing Thierry Ardisson.”The latter had to reproduce the gestures, the way of standing as well as the way of speaking of Dalidahe explains. His voice has also been reworked, Dalidaized.”
