And viewers were obviously impatient to find the star host of France 2, given the audience figures achieved.
Six months that the viewers of France 2 awaited his return.
Michel Drucker resumed Sunday the animation of his programs

The return of the host-star was made in a special edition of his shows, before a resumption of the usual guest interviews next Sunday.
