“The desire to do TV has left me”, confessed, a few days ago, Jean-Pierre Foucault. The 74-year-old host was on August 9 the guest of the summer clubon Europe 1, for a flashback to his incredible career. And if he readily admitted that he missed the radio, he confirmed that he was perfectly happy to present only the annual Miss France election (“up to 2152“he joked) as well as the lottery draws, on TF1 …
“I retiredexplained the icon to Thomas Isle, before adding: “When I handed over to Camille Combal from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, it was because I no longer wanted to. Now when I watch television, I appreciate my colleagues, my sisters, my colleagues, but I don’t I don’t want to be in their shoes. Fortunately, so much the better”.
And his channel has offered him other options, but Jean-Pierre Foucault assures us that he has already done everything he wanted. Lamenting “lare concepts”, “the way of doing”, et “restricted freedom” of today’s TV, he feels, nostalgic: “I’ve been spoiled, had the world’s most magical programs and concepts for 50 years“.
Also, when asked if he would like to participate in programs produced by TF1, as a candidate, Jean-Pierre Foucault also declined. He was offered Dance with the starshe says, but also another successful show, which returns on August 23, for a fourth season…
Jean-Pierre Foucault s’amuse : “Yes of course, I was offered to be part of Mask Singer. I said ‘listen, I haven’t worked 50 years to end up in zucchini‘”.
