TF1 viewers had the right to an evening under the sign of emotion Friday January 15, 2021. Some celebrities have indeed made an appointment to surprise their friends Rayane Bensetti, David Douillet, Shy'm, Hugues Aufray, Hélène Ségara, Pierre Perret, and Gérard Darmon on the stage of the show The secret song, presented by Nikos Aliagas. Isabelle Boulay is one of the personalities who agreed to make the trip to pay a nice tribute to Gérard Darmon. The 48-year-old singer from Quebec also came from far away since she lives in Montreal where she takes care of her son Marcus, born from her story with producer Marc-André Chicoine. Gérard Darmon was therefore very moved to see her sing for him during the evening: "Isabelle, you can't imagine how touched I am that you made this trip", he told her at the end of his performance.
Éric Dupond-Moretti, who has shared Isabelle Boulay's life since 2016, was initially also to be present on the set and sing alongside his companion. The famous 59-year-old lawyer is indeed a long-time friend of Gérard Darmon. But nothing went as planned: the shooting, scheduled for April 2020, was postponed to September due to coronavirus. "And in the meantime, Eric Dupond-Moretti has been appointed minister", explained Mathieu Vergne, the producer of the program, who is none other than the husband of journalist Ophélie Meunier, at Parisian.

Eric Dupond-Moretti therefore ended up opting for a video message, addressed to his friend Gérard Darmon, therefore: "Obviously I regret not being with you tonight, you can imagine. But you know that for a few months now I have taken on new functions… ”, he explained before slipping an adorable message of love for his companion: "So I know you're having a great evening. I would like you to kiss everyone, one a little more than all the others, in the respect of course barrier gestures. Nice evening again and well done for what you are. I kiss you".
