It's a surprise transfer that nobody saw coming!
After the announcement of the departure of Jean-Pierre Pernaut from the post of presenter of the
13 hours
of TF1, speculations were rife as to the name of the person who would succeed him.
It will ultimately not be a journalist from the TF1 group who will take the reins of the television news, but a face of France 2. According to
Le Figaro
, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau will take over.
The information was also confirmed by TF1 this afternoon.
Since September 2016, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau has been the titular presenter of the 1 hour newscast of France 2, and has also hosted the program
Prodiges
since last year.
Even if she already appeared on LCI's antenna at the end of the 1990s, the journalist is a loyal member of France Télévisions, which she joined in 2000 as a reporter for France 3. To follow her first steps on TF1 , it will be necessary to connect to the chain on January 4, 2021.
According to Thierry Thuillier, chief news officer of the TF1 Group, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau “will embody change in continuity.
Jacques Legros, meanwhile, remains the joker of this edition.
This surprise transfer now raises another question: who will take Marie-Sophie Lacarrau's place on France 2 next year?
