Until the end, I wanted to master his image. Before losing his fight against cancer, he had let him know why personalities would like a tribute to him. Thierry Ardisson He had also prepared a fifteen minutes video. A summary of all its programs. A summary of his career that ended with a credits, the only one that is worth in these circumstances, the Hello Terriens… all its cult sequences, like the famous “Sucking, should it be deceived?” It does not appear there. The taste for control always.
The great television man, producer and presenter, raised for forty years in the PAF, with scathing, provocative and prestigious guests. Then he knew all the media circuit gears. Therefore, I used to request a reemer before the publication of an article. I also knew how to disseminate information according to meetings with journalists. And calibrate their interventions to measure how their interviews were going to receive.
As Léa Salamé points out in a long publication on Instagram, the host had organized his death in his last book, The man in black Like David Bowie, whose last clip, the title “Lázaro” ended in a coffin. “When I ask him to summarize, I didn’t know he was sick. Today, I’m going to read it again, but without laughing,” he added, visibly moved.
In his YouTube channel “Arditube”, in association with INA, which lists the archives of all his programs, the terrible child on television had imagined a section of “last -minute news” whose objective was to celebrate after his death the personalities spent in one of his many programs.
For his own disappearance, he had anticipated the praise of the funeral. “I mean: ‘curse, this guy, had ideas.’, He trusted 2022 to the television magazine.
“I would like the three women with whom I married are there”
In his last interviews, there were also clues about the way he had prepared his release. The black man had drawn the contours of his burial, while the disease had been consuming him for several months. “I would like the three women with whom I married are there. My family too. My friends. When I feel that death is approaching, I will write everything,” he explained to the point. “I want incense, choir children … the total! I already have the entire playlist in mind. I want us to listen Lazarus By David Bowie and In my life Beatles taken by Sean Connery. “
“I want to see that death reaches the opposite, it is not that I take by surprise. The day I feel that the end is approaching, I will decide all the details of my burial,” the animator told The Parisian.
Dominating his image throughout his career, Thierry Ardisson did not intend to lose his release. As proof, a compilation of his 40th career was sent to journalists. His transmission was one of his “last wishes.”
“Life goes very fast, it’s a wink”
In full promotion of his memoir, the host knew that his days were counted. For several months, his partner and journalist Audrey Crespo-Mara had been filming for a documentary, The hidden side of man in black, transmitted soon on TMC. One way, perhaps, reveal another Ardisson, than outside the televisions. But, in this project, it also remains the impression that the host had to master his image, even after his death.
He could, the man in black will speak that little of the evils that weaken him. He has barely left out that he stopped the cigarette and alcohol by the advice of his doctors.
But death, thought there more and more … without becoming, “an obsession,” he said to the point: “If I fear death, it is more metaphysically. Life goes very fast, it is a wink. I tried to live it as much as possible, but there is always this feeling of” not finished. “I will die with ideas of emissions and books in mind.”
