Exit the traditional M6 studio, Kareen Guiock presents her first “66 minutes” place de la Concorde in Paris

A new Sunday worker on TV. This September 3, shortly before 5:20 p.m., Kareen Guiock took control of “66 minutes”, succeeding Xavier de Moulins who had officiated at the presentation since 2012.”Good evening, welcome to “66 minutes“”, declares with sobriety the presenter to the viewers of M6. The one who dropped the controls of the “12.45” to devote herself to her new activity is not in the traditional studio of the Six but outside, place de la Concorde in Paris. A place that was not chosen at random.

Place de la Concorde will indeed house the future rugby village around the World Cup, still under construction as evidenced by the scaffolding behind the host. Between the subjects, she meets the construction workers, then dons a helmet and a yellow vest. In the official store, already set up and open to the public, she asks questions to the sports istant at the town hall of Paris. At the end of the show, she interviews Bernard Laporte. The former president of the FFR confides in the chances of the Blues at the next Rugby World Cup and his trial in a corruption case. A successful set of sequences which brings dynamism to the purring programme. We must also salute the new design and the new credits of “66 minutes”, more refined.

If the form of the show has been revitalized, reminiscent of certain sets ofOphelie Meunier in “Zone Interdite”, there is no major upheaval to note on the side of the editorial line. Regulars of the show find subjects that have made the success of “66 minutes”, such as this eco-chestnut tree at the opening which reveals good plans for saving at the start of the school year, an investigation into these houses which are collapsing in indifference , a focus on these women who prefer young people or even a report on these French people living in New Zealand.

Just under a year ago, Kareen Guiock took a six-month sabbatical to devote himself to his first pion, music. The journalist, who is married to Lilian Thuram, released his first album. baptized Ninahe pays homage to the jailhouse of jazz, Nina Simone.
