Since 2010, Jean-Luc Reichmann has been in charge of 12 shots of noon. The game, offered by TF1 every day at lunchtime, is currently played by Emilien, champion whose life of his partner Jessica has been turned upside down.
Great champions favored 12 shots of noon ?
The show is regularly the target of accusations of cheating. Some believe that production does everything to benefit the great masters of midday. Bruno Hourcade, game record holder with 1,026,107 euros in winnings won in 252 participations in 2021, was the guest of Sud Radio on Thursday April 18, 2024.
“Did you have the feeling that they (the production of 12 coups de midi, editor’s note) had done everything to ensure that you stayed in the game for a long time?”, asked the journalist Gilles Ganzmann. The one that Jean-Luc Reichmann nicknamed “Fifou Dingo” swept away the hypothesis that the masters of midday could be advantaged. “Personally, maybe I’m hiding my face, but I didn’t really have the impression of it. It’s perhaps also because I consider that I don’t really have any areas of expertise. I didn’t feel like a theme came up often“he justified himself.
To support his statements, Bruno Hourcade mentioned the career of Paul El Kharrat who reigned for 153 broadcasts on The 12 strokes of noon in 2019. “Perhaps for some, like Paul, a history enthusiast, each time a question of history came up, we said to ourselves ‘and as luck would have it, another question of history’. But if we took a file and we calculated, I’m not sure there was more history than literature, science or politics”he explained before concluding: “If there was a whole show about history, it would be much more blatant!”.
When will Emilien be eliminated from the TF1 game?
TF1 will broadcast a new issue of 12 shots of noon this Friday, April 19, 2024. From 11:50 a.m., Emilien will put his midday master star back on the line for a 207th participation. The young 21-year-old student from Vendée, already in possession of a prize pool of 877,541 euros in winnings and gifts, will be pitted against three new opponents.
If we rely on information published by journalist Clément Garin via his account X – formerly called Twitter -, Emilien is not about to stop entertaining the French at lunchtime. “He is preparing to become the game’s record holder, and will exceed 1,050,000 euros in winnings by May 21, with 240 victories. He will still not be eliminated, and will thus exceed the 1,026,000 euros won by Bruno Hourcade in 252 entries”said Cyril Hanouna’s ex-columnist and Do not touch My TV.
