The music enthusiast had worked for 26 years as a morning columnist. At the age of 63, he decided to hang up his career for good.
A new season of “Télématin” has just begun and is already undergoing a departure. This time, it does not concern the two presenters but a columnist. It is about Frédéric Zeitoun . The man, passionate about music having lent his pen to numerous artists over time and meetings, has been working since 1998.
This Saturday, September 28, marked for the columnist his last dance on the set of the morning show of La Deux. “We’re not going to cry, but we’re still going to say that a page has been turned.” underlined the weekend presenter, Damien Thévenot after specifying: “This is your last column at “Télématin”, before going full time to do what you have always done, that is to say, write songs and sing.

The columnist then wanted to speak briefly. But this was not the time for bitterness or despondency. “It’s not sad at all, it’s not goodbye, it’s goodbye to find yourself elsewhere. he declared before offering thanks. “I wanted to thank the whole team, all these people we don’t see, thank the spectators in the street who reward us with a little smile from time to time.” He also wanted to thank the person responsible for his television career. “And then thank someone who had the good idea to call me 26 years ago, when I wasn’t doing TV: it’s William Leymergie. Then to address, surrounded by the “Télématin” teams who came to join him on the set, a final “thank you” to his fans and tell them “see you soon.”
Damien Thévenot took over to thank Frédéric Zeitoun in turn. ““Télématin” is a big family and you were one of the key elements of this family. We won’t leave each other, we will meet again on social networks”concluded the weekend presenter.
