“There are a lot of feelings and memories coming together today, so to try and be upbeat and positive, I will remember that I was lucky to meet him, to spend time with him, to see him work and to be able to talk with him about his vision of the profession, his vision of 1 p.m. He fed me all of it, before giving me the keys, as he said. It is now up to us to continue”, she had said. Marie-Sophie Lacarrau replaced Jean-Pierre Pernaut at short notice on January 4, 2021.

This Saturday, June 17, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau was invited to the show We redo the TV, on RTL. Asked by Éric Dussart and Jade about his career and current events, the presenter of the television news could not hide her emotions during the broadcast on the air of the declaration of Jean-Pierre Pernaut when he announced his departure to hand over to him. “I am very moved… Because it feels good to hear his voice and because what happened between me and Jean-Pierre is really unusual in the media world“, she began. Moved, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau then remembered: “When I arrived, on TF1, two months before presenting this first newspaper, my first 1 p.m. and during these 2 months, I rubbed shoulders with Jean-Pierre almost every day and he was extremely kind.”
“You imagine such a transition between two people, the one who leaves who hands over like that to the one who will replace him, but it’s unheard of! And really, I will always thank him and his support and he never tried to give me advice, but rather to share his experience that he had stored up”, she said grateful.
Marie-Sophie Lacarrau then returned to the day she learned of the death of Jean-Pierre Pernaut. “When I learned of his death, I am indeed at home in the darkbut I hop in a taxi to go to the editorial office and meet the 1 p.m. team. I needed to be close to them and indeed the day of Jean-Pierre’s funeral, it’s my only public outing during my long illness“, she recalled. Before concluding with emotion: “But he obviously deserved it.”
