I replied that I had just learned of my father’s death.” remembered Bernard Montiel.

“And then he said to me: ‘but did you continue the interview?’. And I replied: ‘Yes! You’re my guest, you’re here, so yes…'”. And Bernard Barbelivien retorted: “I’m not sure that if I learned of the death of a loved one, I would be able to continue the show…”
