Since the absence of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, the keys to the 1 p.m. television news on TF1 are in the hands of Jacques Legros. And it will stay that way for a while longer since the incumbent is suffering from a “eye infection”. For now, no return date has been announced by the chain. “With the light we get on set, Marie-Sophie can’t come back if she’s not completely cured. It could take six months”explained to Parisianthe 70-year-old journalist, who was originally supposed to go on the air for a few days. “I was first told to keep myself available for three days, then a week, then another. There, I’m aiming for the end of March. We’ll see after.”
Present since 1998 as a joker, Jacques Legros, who until then was a freelancer, has changed status. Indeed, he signed a contract for an indefinite period “with a joker salary“. A decision that has nothing to do with the health of his colleague. “We’ve been talking about it for a while”said the presenter. “It gives me a more square status before considering a release, even if I am assured that there is no urgency for me to leave. I will decide the date, when I I’ll be tired or that I won’t feel like it anymore. Don’t worry, it will be before ten years. But nothing is fixed yet”he said before adding: “As long as I don’t look too old on the air, I’ll be there.”
The one who replaced Jean-Pierre Pernaut during his leave had revealed to Jordan de Luxe, two years ago, that he was “paid by the newspaper” (not far from 2000 euros, editor’s note).
