It would seem that nostalgia is the leitmotif on television according to the programs that TV channels offer to the public. Indeed, after coming out of the attic The Right Price, M6 entrusted Eric Antoine with the presentation of a modernized version of this cult game which will be back on air very soon.
The Right Price, The Weakest Link, M6 rides on public nostalgia
Between comic magician Eric Antoine and M6, it’s a great love story! After getting noticed on the show France Has Incredible Talentthe conjurer joined the jury. The channel also entrusted him with the reins of the game inspired by the board game The Werewolves titled The Traitors whose casting for the next season was recently revealed. He even brought about the return of Fair Price but the audiences were not necessarily there, forcing Six to modify its broadcast schedule without any real changes in the ratings.
But what does it matter! M6 wants to continue surfing on nostalgia. After proposing a return of the emblematic show presented by Laurence Boccolini, The Weak Linkunder the leadership of Vincent Dedienne, one of whose tackles made Cyril Hanouna react, it’s a game created at the end of the 1980s which will soon make a comeback on the channel.
After the Fair Price, Eric Antoine will host this legendary game on M6
So, M6 has decided to relaunch The Wheel of Fortune ! Created in 1987, the game has since benefited from numerous returns on television. If Benjamin Castaldi regrets having hosted it at 11 a.m. on TF1 for only three months, it was Christophe Dechavanne in the company of Victoria Silvstedt who managed to make the game popular again between 2006 and 2011.
The filming of this new version of The Wheel of Fortune began during the month of November 2024 and M6 has just revealed the date on which the first issues will be broadcast. The public will therefore be able to meet Eric Antoine at the presentation of the game from January 27 from 5:30 p.m.. The show will be offered on the channel but also in streaming on the M6+ application.
Now all that remains is to hope that the game finds its audience. Not easy when you see the Right Price audiences. But we wish him the same success as the successful return of bigdil with Lagaf’ on RMC Story and not the same future as the last TF1 show, Galidators.
