Les 12 coups de midi (TF1): Why does Jean-Luc Reichmann nickname Emilien “SpongeBob”?

From next Friday January 10, Jean-Luc Reichmann will make his comeback on the radio after 17 years of absence. He spoke exclusively to our colleagues at Le Parisien and explained his new project on Nostalgie. “I am a listener of this station which offers both positive waves and emotions. It has been five or six years since Xavier Laissus Pasqualini, the director, spoke to me about it, sent me his wishes… And I broke down when 'he told me that he was giving me carte blanche, so I'm going to do a show called 'On se tutoie?…', in which I will receive people such as Jean-Louis Aubert, Michel Polnareff or Marc Lavoine, with whom we will take the time to show ourselves in a different intimacy, in order to start the weekend in style. This will be our happy hour.”he detailed.

Jean-Luc Reichmann returns to radio

Jean-Luc Reichmann then justified his choice to return to the air and the fact that today, “There are plenty of ways to express yourself through social media”. “I'm going back to basics, because in audiovisual there is visual but also audio. My children had always told me that I would come back to it. I almost did it several times but I didn't have the time, between my activities and my commitments to associations And then, after 60 years, I want something more intimate…”explained Nathalie Lecoultre’s companion.

Why does the host nickname Emilien, SpongeBob?

The host is on all fronts, particularly with his series Léo Mattéï, Minors’ Brigade and has obviously continued to host for almost 15 years The 12 strokes of noon. His secret to not getting bored? He confided to Parisian : I'm even going to celebrate 30 years of daily life, since 'les Z'amours' in 1995. (He smiles.) I have no reason to get tired of it. My driving force is the smiles of people on set or in the street. By being there every day, we are a landmark, especially for single people. Les Douze Coups de midi is the favorite show of the French, in a recent survey. It’s a f***ing responsibility!”.

Jean-Luc Reichmann also took the opportunity to look back on the incredible journey of Emilien, the master of midday since September 25, 2023. “The problem is we can't get rid of him! (He laughs.) He was 20 when he arrived, he's 22 now. It's never happened! To those who say to me: 'When is he going to leave?', I tell them to come and dethrone him”he began by confiding. And to resume: “Émilien sends an excellent signal to a youth that can sometimes be lost: he has immense curiosity at a time when we are full of notifications to which we do not pay attention. I now nickname him SpongeBob because he integrates each piece of news information and uses it for the future.. A flattering nickname then!
