On December 26, TF1 devotes an exceptional evening of 3 hours 20 minutes to Arthur to celebrate his 30 years of television career. All done by Arthur and presented by Arthur…
To celebrate 30 years of presence on the small screen, Arthur will be entitled to a special evening in his honor, on TF1, on Thursday December 26. From 9:10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., the channel will offer a new documentary, entitled Arthur, the TV kidin two parts. No less than 3 hours 20 minutes of airtime, in the middle of the holidays, to retrace the host's journey, relive his very first steps on television, but also the cult moments of Children of TVhis greatest success. This show, “a must for the biggest stars of the time” like Gérard Depardieu, Carole Bouquet or Monica Bellucci, will mark “generations of viewers”, as TF1 writes in the presentation of the evening.
On the program, the famous “casseroles”, these compromising archives which have embarrassed more than one celebrity, but also “La Fureur”, this giant karaoke where a joyful group of guests denounce the greatest hits, sometimes in the presence of their performer like Johnny Hallyday, Mylène Farmer or even huge international stars, from Barry White to Mariah Carey. We will also find “À Take ou à Laisser”, the game that drove the French crazy, “Ce Soir avec Arthur”, “Stars sous hypnose”, “Friday everything is permitted”, “Les Touristes” and “all the creations of one of the most inventive producers of his generation”, says the first channel.
As we will have understood from reading the TF1 presentation, this “unforgettable evening in the company of a man who has dedicated his life to making the French laugh and entertain” will praise the presenter to the skies. If TF1 promises to dissect Arthur's “successes, but also failures”, it should mainly be about successes. The icing on the cake is that more than 40 celebrities who have worked with Arthur throughout his career will come and say all the good things they think of him: Michaël Youn, Elie Semoun, Isabelle Nanty, Michèle Bernier, Dany Boon, Kad Merad, Jenifer, Franck Dubosc, Nikos Aliagas, Ahmed Sylla, Jarry…
And as you are never better served than by yourself, know that this great evening dedicated to Arthur was produced by Arthur himself. Or in any case the production company of the host and former vice-president of Endemol, created in 2010, and called “Satisfaction The Television Agency”. It extended its contract with TF1 last year to pass these 30 years of collaboration peacefully. In Le Parisien, Arthur was also clear about whether or not he wanted to celebrate this anniversary: ”No. Especially not! I don't want to do an egocentric show,” he replied. He probably changed his mind…
