If the youngest know Nicolas Pernikoff mainly for his role as a columnist in “Touche pas à mon poste” which he has held since 2018, he can boast of having a sacred career behind him. Indeed, he distinguished himself as director of promotion and communication for the NRJ group from 1989 to 1997. He also served as marketing and communication director for the Travelprice.com site.
His adventure in the media began in 2003 when he was recruited to occupy the position of general manager of Trace Tv. Nicolas Pernikoff then joined France Télévisions. For the group, he was first director of entertainment and games for France 3, then director of streams for France 2. In 2005, he was appointed director of stream programs for the France Télévisions group, a position he held until 2011.
But in the past, Nicolas Pernikoff held another job that was a little more surprising. During an interview with Jordan de Luxe for the Télé Loisirs website, the 52-year-old businessman returned to this experience… as a driver for Mylène Farmer! And obviously, he does not keep a wonderful memory of this amazing job and his relationship with the singer renowned for her mystical aura. “I met her two, three times. It’s not a good time in my life, because she was very hard on me”, he related. After resigning from this post, Nicolas Pernikoff met the star again a few years later on the NRJ station. “There was a little discomfort. Mylène was not there for much, at the time it was really her editor Bertrand Lepage. But it’s true that it’s not the most pleasant moment of my life.” he concluded.
