“The emotion is very strong on this set”

"The emotion is very strong on this set", declared the presenter to introduce the special edition dedicated to Jean-Pierre Pernaut where he welcomed Évelyne Dhéliat, the general manager of TF1 Gilles Pélisson, Michel Izard, close to Jean- Pierre Penaut and great reporter on TF1, but also Marie-Sophie Laccarau, who took over the

of TF1 after the departure of "JPP".

The latter greeted in duplex a “benevolent” man.

“I will never thank him enough for this support before handing over.

Until inviting me to his last diary.

It's quite exceptional.

It's quite elegant,” she pointed out.

And to announce that the

team was preparing "a beautiful tribute".

“Jean-Pierre, that was life”

"He was close to people, close to life (…) Jean-Pierre, that was life and that's what transpired through his newspapers and that's what made the connection with viewers," said , in tears, Eveline Dhéliat.

Catherine Nayl, director of information for France Inter and formerly of TF1, host Christophe Dechavanne, Camille Combal, Jacques Rieg-Boivin and even Jean-Luc Reichmann addressed warm words to their comrade.

This special edition and the rebroadcast of the documentary Jean-Pierre Pernaut, a history of French television by Michel Izard, moved an average of 4.42 million French people until 10:45 p.m., or 19.5% audience share, according to Mediametry.

Between 9 p.m. and 9:50 p.m., 6.07 million viewers followed the special edition, ie 25.5% of PDA.

C8, which has strong ties with the couple formed by Jean-Pierre Pernaut and Nathalie Marquay thanks to Touche pas à mon poste, has programmed two documentaries dedicated to the former star presenter of the 1 p.m. news from TF1.

The first, in prime time, reached 412,000 viewers, or 2% of the public, the second, in the second part of the evening, retained some 336,000, or 4.1% of the public.
