This Wednesday, November 27, Nagui received Kad Merad in The original soundtrack on France Inter. The actor returned to the day when the host contacted him to join the team of his show Taratata.
Before finding success in the cinema, Kad Merad worked a series of odd jobs. After going door-to-door selling encyclopedias, the actor was a host at Club Med, then eventually moved into comedy. At the beginning of the 1990s, Julia Vignali’s husband built a small notoriety on Ouï FM, where he met Olivier Baroux, with whom he presented the show Rock’n’Roll Circus. A time that Nagui remembers well, since it was while listening to him on the radio that the presenter wanted to hire the former comedian on his show Taratata. “Kad did guitar/voice improvisations on this radio, I loved this radio at the time”remembered the host on the microphone of The original soundtrack on France Inter, this Wednesday, November 27.
Kad Merad approached by Nagui to join the show Taratata
Guest on the occasion of the release of the film Christmas ballswhich he shares with Valérie Bonneton, Kad Merad remembered the day when Nagui tried to poach him. “I remember the day you called me. I didn’t believe it! I was nothing at all and you were already the Nagui we know. I was at the studio”said the actor. “And you left much faster than when you arrived”the host had fun, before revealing the role that Kad Merad had almost played in his show Taratata. “I asked him to come to Taratata saying ‘You have a guest who is here for his promotion’ and came to him saying ‘I created this song’ and redoing the song in a distorted way saying ‘He stole everything from me’“he explained. “And it didn’t happen.”concluded the actor without specifying why their collaborative project never came to fruition.
Nagui saved by a famous French singer at the beginning of Taratata
Although he never collaborated with Kad Merad, Nagui was able to count on the support of another celebrity at the start of Taratata. In a report broadcast in 8:30 p.m. Sunday last June, the host told how Jean-Jacques Goldman saved his show, which was almost canceled from the second issue. “We have an artist who cancels. They have already planned to put on a TV film as a replacement from the second show. We are ridiculous. When I ask Jean-Jacques to come and save us, he tells me: ‘Look, I’ve already done the credits, now you’re asking too much of me!’ 36 hours later, it’s 2 a.m., he calls me and says: ‘Have you found anyone?’ I say: ‘No, obviously I didn’t find anyone.’ He said to me: ‘If I come alone with my guitar, is that okay?’ There are tears coming to your eyes.”revealed the presenter, who will be eternally grateful to him.
