Information that resounds like a clap of thunder in the French audiovisual landscape. On the evening of Tuesday August 29, 2023, journalist Clément Garin indicated via his Twitter account the departure of Denis Brogniart at the head of Koh Lanta. Information to which the production of the show wanted to respond quickly.
After more than twenty years of good and loyal service, is Denis Brogniart ready to abandon the animation of Koh Lanta ? If the idea may seem unthinkable for the many fans of the show for whom the program and the host are inseparable, the rumor is in any case a lot of noise on social networks after the publication of this message by the journalist Clément Garin , head of the CG Scoops account on the X social network, formerly Twitter.
“Thunderbolt in the PAF: Denis Brogniart will no longer host Koh Lanta in 2024. The historic host of the program will be replaced next season at the head of TF1’s flagship program”, he dropped this Tuesday, August 29, 2023 in the evening. And to add: “He will be at the head of a final season, already boxed, which will be broadcast next spring, and will then give way at the start of the school year to a personality not yet designated. A decision made by Rodolphe Belmer in person, and that Alexia Laroche-Joubert, CEO of @BanijayFrancebitterly welcomes.”
