Almost fifteen years after the end of Everybody talks about it, and a stint in the Canal + group, Thierry Ardisson is back on the public service with a new program, scheduled for re-entry on France 3. Its title? The time hotel. Its concept? The 72-year-old host interviews missing personalities, such as Jean Gabin for the first. “An interview-fiction”, as he calls it in The Parisian.
Technical performance
First offered to Netflix and Amazon, the program co-produced by France Télévisions and 3e Œil follows Thierry Ardisson in the corridors of the Parisian palace Le Meurice, towards the Belle Etoile suite, tells The Parisian. There, he finds the actor Jean Gabin, who died in 1976, for an interview based on real words and archives. The technical performance is provided by the famous special effects studio Mac Guff, and by the actors Cédric Weber for the dubbing and François Jérôme for the dubbing.
The time hotel also involves other missing (Louis de Funès, Michèle Morgan, Michel Audiard, Lady Diana), as well as living actors and recurring characters, such as Sébastien Thoen in the role of the janitor. It is making its big comeback on the air after the case of the Winamax sketch and its ousting from Canal +. The show is scheduled to air monthly.
