THE TWELVE BLOWS OF NOON. After a surprise deprogramming, the 12 noon shots return this Friday. We take stock of the clues available on the mysterious star of the moment.
[Mis à jour le 03 juin 2022 à 11h11] Yesterday, viewers were surprised to discover the jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II rather than the continuation of the adventures of Alexander in the 12 strokes of noon. Never mind, the daily game of Jean-Luc Reichmann is back this Friday. As a reminder, during his last participation, Alexandre had added €1,000 to his personal kitty after nearly winning a masterstroke of €20,000. In total, his winnings reached the sum of €7,750. The mysterious star, for its part, already reveals several clues, including a new one: a pink buoy which joins the previous clues revealed (a typical Japanese decor, a world map and a ribbon in the colors of the LGBT flag.) During its last participation, Alexandre had proposed the name of the American rapper Lil Nas X but without success.
In the previous mysterious star of 12 noon shots, Philippe Lellouche had to be found. The London Underground station set referenced his play London Calling, which he wrote and then performed. The reporter’s microphone was a reminder that he studied journalism. The transistor was a reference to his radio career, notably his debut on France Inter and his show on RMC until 2020. The tire reminded us that he hosted the car show Top Gear France. As for the liner, it was a reference to her role in the movie Welcome Aboard, a comedy set on a cruise ship. The make-up set had to do with his partner, Vanessa Boisjean, who is a professional make-up artist. Finally, the baby chair referred to the fact that he is the father of four children.
