Criticized several times, the host of “Don’t forget the lyrics”, unscheduled for two weeks because of Roland-Garros, took advantage of the resumption of the show this Monday to clarify things.
Nagui , we love him for his outspokenness and for his shows. Back on air, this Monday June 10, 2024, after two weeks of deprogramming of “Do not forget the lyrics” because of Roland-Garros, the host took the opportunity to express himself vigorously on two or three things.
On this habit he has of congratulating his champions, like Maestro Pierre, victorious 23 times and now in possession of a prize pool of 183,000 euros, with whom he exchanged a vigorous “check” on the set. Turning to the viewers, he sent them this message: “A person whom I greet in passing, and whom I obviously annoy, told me: ‘Yes, we know that when a candidate wins 20,000 euros, you give him or her a hug to rub shoulders with him or her. She.” So, rest assured, I have other opportunities in life to rub shoulders with willing people.”he quipped.

Before adding: “I’m telling you officially Pierre, if you want me to stop rubbing you, don’t hesitate”. All to the laughter and applause of Pierre and the entire audience. Successful effect. And this is not the first time that the host has addressed those who watch him in this way. Shortly before Roland-Garros, he addressed them, more or less in the same tone: “Stop writing to me saying: ‘there is someone who whistles during the songs, it’s very annoying and we can’t concentrate on the words or it could disturb the candidate’”.

Then to explain that Fabien Haimovici, musician of the show, sometimes whistles a few notes to help the participants get back into the rhythm or the tone. “It is simply out of kindness and humanity, ultimately, somewhere, that Fabien tries to bring back into the melodic line the candidate who is leaving a little bit. But since he cannot sing at the same time as the candidate on the same song, he had specifiedhe whistles to restore the good air”.
Some may say that his reactions are frontal or even brutal. But Nagui is also part of this category of hosts, who when they slip up, which is very human, particularly live, know how to apologize. In April, after a somewhat heavy joke addressed to one of his candidates who said she was fascinated by the personality of serial killers, he declared: “We joked a lot yesterday. I would just like to offer my sincerest apologies if these jokes could have obviously touched, hurt, offended… “. If all the people who speak on the airwaves could do the same.
