Daily TMC Paris, 10/17/2024
Zenith, The big family, TV Sunday, Apart from that, The Grand Journal… We can no longer count the programs presented (and some produced) by Michel Denisot on Canal+. A channel that he joined from its beginnings, in November 1984. It is also he who is in charge of the 7/9 the first day on the air.
A channel with a liberated and creative spirit and which revolutionized audiovisual, until Vincent Bolloré took charge in 2015 and started cutting off heads, permanently breaking the toy. And sending Michel Denisot to other occupations.
We will find him among others at the head of Vanity Faironce again president of a football club – he had chaired PSG in the 90s -, active on more confidential television, behind the camera (Any resemblancein 2019)…
Today, as he prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday in April, he publishes Very first time – They all started on Canal+. His own way of celebrating the 40th anniversary by focusing on describing the journey of personalities who made the history of Canal: Louise Bourgoin, Nathalie Iannetta, Marc-Olivier Fogiel, Alain Chabat, Jamel, Philippe Vandel…
Some will also be present on the set brought together by Yann Barthès, another Canal baby. Grateful to Denisot, whom he considers his mentor, the host ofDaily chose to transport archives – some never rebroadcast – and guests.
Together, they will evoke the Denisot years before Canal, the Canal years before The Grand Journal, and the years Grand Journal. Obviously with the presence of Michel Denisot. Admitting not to like talking about himself and hating birthdays, he accepted the project, perhaps as a final snub to Bolloré (TMC belonging to the TF1 group), while affirming that he would go “also say hello when Canal+ organizes its own party”.
As for a possible return to television, even if he will sponsor a regional program on France 3 Centre-Val de Loire, there does not seem to be any question of it. Damage.
