With these multiple experiences, Donel, whom we have been following for years when he was on Laurent Ruquier's show (“We only ask to laugh”), has many assets to take the reins of this new show. Coming from stand-up, he can do everything! We want him to fully embody the program by putting humor in the mood. And he proved by presenting the sequel to Incredible Talent that he was a great host.
