November 14 is a special date for Nagui! Indeed, in the show on Tuesday November 14, 2023 on France 2, the host of Do not forget the lyrics celebrated his 62nd birthday. From the start of the episode, the evening took an unexpected turn when the program’s musicians decided to offer him a memorable surprise, revealing a new side of the host. By entering the set alongside the maestro of the moment, Laurens, who already has 32 participations for 272,000 euros, Nagui discovered with emotion a surprise concocted by his team. Immediately, the musicians, Karen Khochafian on electric guitar, Magali Ripoll and Fabien Haimovici on backing vocals, Pierre Lucbert on drums and the others, began to mix their instruments. While the saxophonist Pierre Lucbert tried to tame the violin and Magali Ripoll demonstrated her talents on the electric guitara real cacophony began… To the point where Nagui decided to grab the drums!
“Tear everything up Nagui!”
“Wait, wait! You know what? I’m going to start playing drums like that at least… We’ll see what happens!”, launched the French favorite presenter with humor as he took his place on percussion. While the musicians began to encourage Nagui with their “tear everything up!”, this one revealed a rather good sense of rhythm. At the end of the improvised performance, while applause rang out from all sides, Magali Ripoll decided to sing the tune of the song Happy birthday to Nagui, intoned by everyone around and punctuated with a tender “happy birthday uncle Nagui.” A unique moment which mixed humor, surprise, and hidden talents. “Oh, thank you, and it’s in exactly the right key too” the presenter of the show gently mocked, “thank you, very kind”, he concluded. A moment that will certainly remain in the memory of fans of the show!
