The comedian was chosen to be the godfather. An honor for him as he has always been involved in the said organization. “I told myself that I had to do it. That it was part of my mission: if we artists don’t mobilize for this kind of cause, who will? Since then, I impose this ritual on myself every year. I always felt it was an incredible chance to make even one person laugh or thrill. But with children facing a heavy therapeutic process, the impact of the stories or jokes we tell increases tenfold.“, he confided in the columns of Ouest-France to explain why he had agreed to be the sponsor of the Telethon 2022.
Among the guests present on the set of the Telethon, Michel Drucker came to accompany Sophie Davant and Kev Adams for a few hours.

Who can boast of having made one of the biggest hits of 2022 and of having also toured with Jean Marais and Louis de Funès? A great woman of heart, Mylène we think of you and this Telethon, I dedicate it to you completely“.
