Harry Roselmack was the guest of Touche not at my post this Thursday, March 3. Very touched by the death of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, he wanted to pay him a moving tribute.
He was moved. This is sad news that was announced this Wednesday, March 2. Jean-Pierre Pernaut, former star presenter of TF1 news, died at the age of 71. It was his wife’s agent, Nathalie-Marquay Pernaut, who announced the sad news. “Tom, Lou, Olivier and Julien’s father died of lung cancer“, AFP said. A news that has upset Internet users but also the world of television. Guest of Touche not at my post this Thursday, March 3, Harry Roselmack wished to pay tribute to him. “He was my colleague for 15 years now“, he first launched. “I don’t really like to talk about models, I don’t have one but Jean-Pierre was an example in many areas“, he continued. What stood out to him the most? “This freedom that he had, in the exercise of this function to present“, he declared before specifying: “This is also the reason why he was with his files, without a teleprompter. We sometimes saw him reading but he had this freedom which allows him to be very comfortable and this is something that I try to apply“, he concluded, very touched by the death of his friend.
He was in awe. “For me it’s the most beautiful smile on French television“, first asserted Harry Roselmack. “What is surprising is that for someone who presented news, he knew how to smile on the air while presenting the news“, he continued before saluting the career of Jean-Pierre Pernaut. “They said he didn’t have the journalism card“, he said before being cut off by Cyril Hanouna who spoke of the criticisms of which the presenter of TF1 was the victim.The person who comes and changes the game, necessarily has skepticism. He knew how to talk to people. I always watched it with great pleasure, especially the specials“, assured Harry Roselmack. “The death of Johnny Hallyday, that of Michael Jackson or 9/11. When he was in the heart of the news, it was the best“, he explained before specifying: “He’s good everywhere, that’s what’s amazing“. For the journalist, Jean-Pierre Pernaut is the one who has “changed the JT on the bottom. He made the news truly national since he was interested in France in its diversity. Proximity is a common point that we both had“, he concluded.

On the set of Cyril Hanouna, Harry Roselmack chained the confidences. He mentioned in particular his first meeting with the star presenter of TF1. “The first time I saw it, I arrived on TF1. Before going on air on July 13, 2006, I did a month of preparation and I ran into him in the hallways.” he recalled before evoking someone who was “impressive“. According to the words of the journalist, there was “three sacred monsters at TF1. Patrick Poivre d’Arvor, Jean-Pierre Pernaut and Claire Chazal. Me, as a young journalist, I was impressed,” he concluded.
