Sunday November 17, 2024, Laurent Delahousse had the immense honor and privilege of welcoming on the set of 8:30 p.m. Sunday Gérard Jugnot, Marie-Anne Chazel and Thierry Lhermitte, who came to promote a beautiful work celebrating the 50th anniversary of their essential theater troupe which propelled their brilliant careers. It is impossible for them not to tenderly evoke their former sidekick Michel Blanc, who died suddenly in October at the age of 72, following anaphylactic shock.

Like them, the actor also contributed to the creation of the book, the income from which will be entirely donated to the Foundation for Medical Research. “In this book that you dedicated to him, you say 'Thank you President White'… Did he have the status of president?“, Laurent Delahousse then asked them, intrigued. Obviously many years ago, the happy band created a “Company“and Michel Blanc was at the head with Thierry Lhermitte.”We were both presidents“, explained Hélène Lhermitte's husband. “And so, we were called president“.

With humor Marie-Anne Chazel, also slipped: “And then they were the ones who knew how to do the accounts“. To which Thierry Lhermitte responded while revealing a rare anecdote: “Because Michel's mother was an accountant, this gave him the status of president by heredity.“. As a reminder, Lio's ex-companion had met some of them on the benches of the Pasteur high school in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Passionate about comedy, he constantly took pleasure in going to the establishment's theater class according to the confidences of Gérard Jugnot.

“A what did the Michel Blanc of that period look like?“, asked Laurent Delahousse. “What was he? Reserve ? Funny ? Passionate about theater? Already a winnower?!“. “To laugh… That was what brought us together“, indicated Thierry Lhermitte. “It was laughing all the time.” “He wrote“, added Marie-Anne Chazel. “He was very 'Old England'”added Gérard Jugnot. “He dreamed of himself as Jean , he rode horses!” “He was having tea“, slipped the ex-partner of Christian Clavier, very nostalgic.
