    The A Talks 2022

    In each episode, one of the Nation’s most popular celebrities (actor/actress, singer, TV host, athlete) faces a group of 30 atypical journalists, all with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). All have very different personalities, but one thing in common: a disarming naturalness that is full of truth! Through surprising, unpredictable, sometimes funny or poignant questions, viewers discover celebrities as they have never seen them before! In these questions: no calculations, no traps, but also no taboos and no filters. Faced with these very special interviewers, the guests naturally drop the masks and each meeting becomes a magical moment, out of time, filled with emotion, laughter, poetry and impertinence. The show is also nourished by various artistic sequences (music, poetry, drawing…) delivered by journalists endowed with an unsuspected talent.

    Les Guignols 2013

    "Les Guignols de l'info" (literally "The News Puppets"), sometimes simply called Les Guignols (Puppets), is a satirical French television show of puppets, broadcasted since August 29, 1988 on the channel Canal+. A parody of a newscast, the show is a caricature of the political world, the media, personalities or more generally of French society and the current world. Originally created to compensate for the shutdown of the "JTN des Nuls", the show was part of an idea by Alain De Greef who wanted a French equivalent of "Spitting Image". Les Guignols de l'info have an important place in French popular culture: the repetitive nature of quotations and stereotypes of puppets have made the features of caricature more popular than the person himself.

    In January 1986, Coluche, who a few months earlier founded the association of Restos du Cœur, brought together artists, public figures and politicians on television to promote the association and its actions. Jean-Jacques Goldman composed La Chanson des Restos, which was interpreted by several personalities and went on tour to benefit of the association. After Coluche died suddenly in June of 1986, his widow Veronique Colucci relaunched the initiative as a new television program in December of that year.
