Launched for the first time on the antenna of France 2 in 2007, the show Do not forget the lyrics has become in the space of a few years one of the most popular programs on the public channel, but also on the entire French audiovisual landscape in general. Producer of this successful musical game, Nagui is also the star host. Every evening of the week, he arrives on the set of the show accompanied by the Maestro of Do not forget the lyrics, before welcoming a new challenger who has come to compete against the holder of the precious silver microphone. For the record, the concept of the program is simple, given that two participants compete in a giant karaoke battle. At the end of their duel, the winner obtains his place in the final, and can thus try to win up to 20,000 euros. Obviously, as long as the Maestro continues to win night after night, he comes back every day to improve his earnings, until he is dethroned by another candidate.

Friday July 7, 2023, Nagui once again welcomed the current champion of the musical game of France 2 : Melody. The one who seemed predestined to become one of the Maestros of the show, because of her first name, was back after having chained 14 victories. In total, his kitty amounted to 59,000 euros that day. Before bringing Mélodie’s opponent on stage, the host asked the champion about her job as an airline pilot. “Have you ever had stars on your planes?”, he particularly wanted to know. “Not in Nouméa, but in my previous company I had a very well-known judoka”said the Maestro. “Teddy Riner?”Nagui immediately replied. “Nah, the other from before”retorted Melody. “Ah yes David Douillet! The question is whether we still manage to take off with a Teddy Riner or a David Douillet?”, then outbid the presenter. “Afterwards we didn’t go to see him, but we saw diagonally that he was in the front row”underlined the champion. “You felt that at takeoff we were leaning … Two great careers, we salute them both of course. And eleventh title of world champion for Teddy Riner all the same must be saluted“, finally concluded Nagui.
