January 14 not only marked Emilien’s 474th participation in the game, but also the broadcast of the episode entirely dedicated to the Yellow Pieces association.
Nothing seems to resist the Maître de midi Emilien, title holder since September 2023. His prize pool soars week after week, until today it reaches the sum of 1,950,415 euros. At twenty-two years old, the young man from Nantes seems unbeatable! In the middle of the Yellow Pieces operation, the various representatives of the campaign, led by First Lady Brigitte Macron, tour the sets to encourage viewers to make a donation, or to harvest, in the heart of the breeding ground, money given by televised games. In the episode broadcast on January 14, 2025, the set of 12 Midday shots decided to see life in yellow! A loyal contributor to the operation, the show managed to raise 40,000 euros for the Hospital Foundation.
Emilien reveals what Brigitte Macron slipped him!
At the start of the show on January 14, Emilien made a juicy revelation. Indeed, the candidate returned to his meeting with Brigitte Macron the day before, during the Yellow Pieces operation. A moment that he described with emotion: “It’s true that it’s always moving, even impressive to see personalities”, he explained, before slipping mischievously: “They told me ‘see you next year’ so there you go, but I say it like that. I still want to be there next year!”.
Emilien, still Master of Midday in 2026?
As Emilien does not fail to point out, he was in fact already present during the show dedicated to the Yellow Pieces last year, and is still present and well in place a year later. A revelation from Emilien which did not fail to raise eyebrows at Jean-Luc Reichmann. The latter then said to him with a falsely shocked look: “Did they tell you until next year?”. An amusing provocation to which Emilien does not fail to respond, always in a humorous tone: “We will not contradict Madame Macron”. Between the joke and the joke, with Emilien, nothing is certain. Will he still be at the top of the steps of the noon master in 2026? Given his background, after all, why not!
