Tac-au-tac with comedians
Obviously, the comedians invited to the red sofa did not hesitate to play Michel Drucker. Laurent Gerra, imitating Fabrice Lucchini, throws at him: “Kerdru is longevity. He’s not a human. He’s a cyborg: every night, he knows the charger, and in the morning, he blinks”.
For his part, Mathieu Madénian does not hesitate to remind Michel Drucker: “I will explain the concept of Michel’s retirement to you, you have to take it alive”. Mathieu Madénian even tactfully alludes to the burial of Michel Drucker.
“I never doubted he would come back”
Asked by the Parisian, the number 2 of France Télévisions Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez assures that he was confident about the return to the air of his star host: “I never doubted that he would come back. Hold two hours of talk show while watching barely his files, without a teleprompter and knowing the artists so well, he’s the only one who does that. Michel, he’s a force of nature”. A caregiver was present backstage throughout the recording.
