Launched for the first time on TF1 in 2010, the daily game called The 12 strokes of noon took the place of a former cult show on the first channel: WATCH YOUR STEP !. Emblematic incarnation of this emblematic program of the 2000s, Jean-Luc Reichmann was chosen by the management of TF1 to take control of the 12 shots of noon. Having quickly met with success with the public, this new game has become an unmissable event for viewers of the first channel for 14 long years now. Over the seasons, many candidates have left their mark on the history of this program. Bruno Hourcade notably won the place of best midi master in the history of the game, with 252 participations. However, the one who pocketed more than a million euros in winnings and gifts in 2021 risks seeing his record soon be erased by Emilien.
Emilien (“Les 12 coups de midi”) gave his mother a hair straightener
Indeed, since his arrival on the set of 12 shots of noon on September 25, 2023, the young candidate has a string of victories. At present, he accumulates nearly 965,000 euros in winnings and gifts in the space of 220 participations. Having discovered no less than eight mysterious stars so far, one less than Bruno Hourcade, Emilien has won numerous gifts which he has shared with his own people. Thursday May 2, 2024, the Master of Midday notably revealed that he had offered a magnificent object to his mother, who was present on the set of 12 shots of noon via video conference that day. While Emilien’s mother stood out thanks to her magnificent brushing, the TF1 gaming champion said: “The hair is perfectly straightened I hope. She had a straightener from the Stars”. Teasing, Jean-Luc Reichmann quickly replied: “Not even a car?”to which Emilien replied: “Not yet, we’ll see then”. The candidate’s mother also intervened, gently making fun of her son. “I have more use for it than him”she declared in conclusion.
