Almost a year after the disappearance of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, Jean-Luc Reichmann took advantage of a question in Les 12 Coups de midi to pay tribute to him.
A nice note. Every noon, Jean-Luc Reichmann asks questions on many topics to the candidates of the show The 12 noon shots. On Saturday January 7, one of them allowed the presenter to send a little message. At the question “To whom did the municipality of Abbeville wish to pay tribute by renaming its market hall?”the expected answer was “Jean-Pierre Pernaut” which the candidate was able to find, reports Tele-Leisure. The opportunity for Jean-Luc Reichmann to pay tribute to the presenter who was the emblematic figure of the 13 hours of TF1 for more than thirty years.
“I must admit that Nathalie Marquay, his wife, sent me her wishes. She sent me a picture that I didn’t have”said the host who shared the snapshot of the two friends with the public and viewers. “I think very very strongly of my friend Jean-Pierre, added the 62-year-old comedian. I love you, my Jean-Pierre, for eternal life.” Before resuming the course of the program, he also made a point of wishing a happy new year to the wife of the journalist who died last March and to greet his children Tom and Lou.
