Sept et deux, Midi Magazine, Midi Trente, Midi Première, Les Grandes Ears… During her career, Danièle Gilbert presented numerous successful shows. Alas, this one experienced
a real crossing of the desert in the 1980s. Monday September 23, 2024, on the set of the show La Tribu de Baba, on C8, it was then that Cyril Hanouna questioned her about the number of years of her career that she gave up: “I don’t know, I don’t count. When you love, you don’t count! And then for me, my career is strange. My TV career kind of stopped on January 1, 1982”.
Faced with the surprise of the host, Danièle Gilbert blurted out: “You should ask a President of the Republic who is no longer there”. While some columnists assured that it was François Mitterand, the main person concerned declared: “Afterwards I was banned from the air so I have a lot of things… I have no revenge! Above all, my father was from Chamalières and then it was a name that was not popular because of Giscard who had become mayor when I had already left, becausethere was no room for both, as you can imagine!“.
Danièle Gilbert: “It was political”
In April 2021, on the set of C à vous, on France 5, the 81-year-old host accused François Mitterand of having ended his career because of his supposed sympathy for Valéry Giscard d’Estaing. “I still have to say that I didn’t know him, that I met him twice in my life for filming and that there was absolutely nothing. It was an excuse in 1981 all the same! Yes, yes, it was political”she exclaimed.
Moved, Danièle Gilbert recalled that there had been a referendum for her return to France Soir. “And then Guy Lux announced that he wanted to have me in Cadence 3. I arrived for the rehearsal on Monday and the show took place on Wednesday. And I saw my Guy Lux all green in front of the studio and he said to me: ‘You know my casserole I was forbidden to take you and since I’m a gambler, you know that I need money, I can’t stand up to them'”she added.
Did Danièle Gilbert feel resentful?
Speaking of her journey through the desert, the one who also worked on Europe 1 and RMC specified that it had lasted a long time:
“Jacques Martin asked me to replace him in the Fan School one day because he was on vacation. The day before, he called me, he said to me, ‘Listen…’ I wouldn’t say it. name of director,
he said to me: ‘The director forbade me to take you’“.
In 2018, at the microphone of RTL, Danièle Gilbert assured that she had never had any resentment or grudges. “I would have been much more unhappy if I had been shown the exit by people not wanting me anymore”she had clarified.
