Since January 4, 2021, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau and Julian Bugier present respectively the 13 hours of TF1 and that of France 2. -

It is the TV event of the beginning of the year: the baptism of fire of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau at the controls of the

13 hours

of TF1.

The journalist, who came from France 2 where she presented the news at the same time until September, must have suspected that her first words would be followed with attention.

"Hello and very happy to accompany you from today to inform you, every day of the week, at 1 pm", she began soberly, appearing on the air in a green blouse.

Lacarrau's "wish"

The new recruit of the One, who had not been able to say goodbye to his faithful on the 2, then wished "a very good year to the public" and specified that she had "a wish".

"I hope to weave with you as soon as possible the bond of complicity and trust that you have been able to develop with Jean-Pierre Pernaut for thirty-three years," she confided.

One way to wink at its predecessor and to insist on the fact, as she explained to 20 Minutes in December, that she was not going to "dynamite" the

13 hours

of TF1.

Of which act: "Let's not change good habits, let's take a look at the weather forecast of Evelyne Déhliat", continued Marie-Sophie Lacarrau before unrolling her newspaper with a first subject on snowfall.

Bugier "delighted"

At the same time, on France 2, Julian Bugier, also made his first as holder of the JT.

Dark suit and tie with light polka dots, he was all smiles during the credits, as if he had been told a good joke just before the airtime.

“Hello everyone, nice to meet you.

It is a great pleasure to accompany you from now on at midday for this new

1:00 pm

with lots of new sections and great reports, and of course all the news of the day.

Here are the titles of this Monday precisely… ”, were his first words to this new function.

The two journalists, ex-colleagues, therefore find themselves in competition.

"I do not want us to be set up as rivals," Marie-Sophie Lacarrau assured

20 Minutes

.

Neither of them should have imagined that they would both use the same verb, “to accompany”, to describe their relationship with the viewers during their respective aerials.
