An essential figure on France 2 for many years, Nagui relaunched his career as a host in 2006 when he took control of the game Everyone wants to take its place. Just a year later, the producer launched the show Do not forget the lyrics on the public channel, for which he also presents. This daily program has become in the space of 16 years one of the essential events on France 2. While he chose to leave the presentation of Everyone wants to take its place in 2021, Nagui is still in charge of the musical talent show. Used to throwing jokes at the different candidates who appear every evening on the set of his show, the host did not miss the opportunity to tease the new Maestro Marine and her challenger Arnaud on Friday February 23, 2024. That day , Nagui noticed that the two candidates wore quite colorful outfitswhile he was dressed in rather dark clothes.
Nagui to the director of “Don’t forget the lyrics”: “Can you make a shot of our candidates at the same time?”

They said to themselves that to come on a set with a host who wears a black suit, we will change. So, we’re going to stay on that level.”launched the presenter, before continuing by addressing France 2 viewers directly afterwards. “If you want to adjust the color, brightness, contrast and sharpness at home [de leur téléviseur, ndlr.]enjoy”, declared the host.
