INTERVIEW
Former presenter of JT, now political columnist on LCI, but also host of reality shows and presenter of the draw games of Loto and Euro Millions : Christophe Beaugrand-Gerin was interviewed on Friday at the microphone of Europe 1 on his double cap as a journalist and star of entertainment programs. "The public is more open than some journalists think," said the one who assumes to have "always practiced mixing genres".
The passionate for political information is present every morning in the morning of LCI presented by Pascale La Tour du Pin. He hosts a column entitled The Mood of Beaugrand , just after the 8 o'clock news.
Heard on europe1:
I speak to different audiences and often those who watch me on LCI do not know that I also host entertainment programs
In parallel, since 2018, the former presenter for three seasons of Secret Story presents the reality TV program The villa: the battle of couples , where a dozen duets face each other during physical tests or riddles. Last year, this show attracted an average of 330,000 people in front of the small screen. A very good score for the time slot, 18:50, often hollow.
"Secret city hall": a parody of Secret story and municipal
"I talk to different audiences and often those who watch me on LCI do not know that I also host entertainment programs," says the host, who is not afraid to "grill" the day he wants return to news programs. "When you feel in the approach of the host a sincerity, it works."
Christophe Beaugrand-Gerin even finds a way to mix genres. He recently told LCI "Secret City Hall", the fight for the mayor of Paris parodied in the manner of Secret Story . "I allowed myself to do it because I really knew the codes on both sides," he smiles. "Politics is more and more like reality TV, with very caricatural stances, rude communication and theatrical moves, so be careful."
