The big competition (animators) is back on TF1 this Tuesday, January 28, 2025, with a special program full of surprises.

For that Big contestArthur will indeed be surrounded by women and men who “have marked and continue to enchant viewers of the first channel,” the statement said.

Philippe Risoli takes care of his heritage
But TF1 also wanted to put a few old glories on the screen, such as Marie-Ange Nardi, as well as a somewhat forgotten presenter of the chain, who has been living a peaceful retirement for a few years. It is Philippe Risoli who will also have to demonstrate all his knowledge and capacity for concentration in this friendly competition, “between laughter and moments of nostalgia”.
Emblematic figure of the PAF in the 90s with cult programs like Jeopardy From 1989 to 1992 or The right price Until 2001, Philippe Risoli then tried a retraining in the song, before a brief return to Gulli between 2009 and 2012, then some appearances in the theater and in the region (notably to present the election of “Miss Excellence” on the channel Large Lille TV).

Philippe Risoli nevertheless seems to enjoy this retreat and enjoy some small pleasures. Last November, he even offered a cover of his improbable tube “Cuitas les Bananas” alongside Julien Doré. The singer had chosen this title, initially released in 2001, for an album of covers called “impostor”. And the two artists had even recorded a fairly unusual collaboration, broadcast on Instagram.
In a first video, Philippe Risoli had first simulated a lack of enthusiasm or even a categorical refusal before the resumption proposal of the successful singer, before giving in to the advances of Julien Doré. The result: an improvised and disillusioned duo around a cup of coffee, which had had its little effect on social networks. A small snub from Philippe Risoli too: his album “Otherwise”, released in 2001 and immediately broken by critics, had sold just 979 copies at the time according to legend …
