A 100th number expected. Since September 2020, Nathanaël de Rincquesen has been at the helm of "INAttendu". Broadcast every Thursday at 21:20 on franceinfo, this weekly show, fusion between the news channel of the France Télévisions group and the National Audiovisual Institute, is "a way, through archive images, to decipher the news and better understand it", as attested by the presenter. "I'm not one of the people who think it was better before, but the 'INAttendu' has a madeleine side of Proust," he admits.

On May 11, Nathanaël de Rincquesen will celebrate the 100th issue, exceptionally extended to 40 minutes, alongside Noël Mamère, journalist, ecologist and political figure. A red thread guest who had carte blanche to choose four themes to address during the show. Ecology in the media, the end of life, marriage for all and finally the evolution of news and presenters will be discussed. "It's great to have him as a witness to the archives of the time," explains the journalist who is full of praise for his guest.

"This man has always been very honest with himself. I find him great, I have always enjoyed seeing him, he has a rigor that I find very interesting, "he analyzes, recalling that Noël Mamère had been a militant journalist and a committed man in his commune of Bègles. A number full of emotions "not without a few tears" but also punctuated by laughter. Slight spoiler, the three-minute portrait in archives of the guest "never shows him without a mustache" as indicated by the face of "INAttendu".
Soon to be an actor?
Evoking the evolution of presenters in the television news, the one who officiated in "Télématin", says he is "hyper happy" with his job and his channel. "My job is better now, a presenter takes the viewer's hand, guides him. The role of the journalist is more necessary, more important than before," he said. According to him, access to information is crucial. A message that he wishes to transmit to his children, even if it means multiplying the sources. "I also watch the news of TF1, that of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau",
In addition to "INAttendu", Nathanaël de Rincquesen still officiates as a joker of information. During school holidays, the journalist replaces Julian Bugier on the midday news on France 2. A particular schedule that does not constrain this father of four. "It's the life of a wild card, I also find a lot of advantages. I signed for, if it didn't suit me, I will stop," he said. But the journalist, joker since 2009, also confides "to have already wished a role of holder", while remaining philosophical. "It was the management of France Télévisions that made choices," he confides before qualifying his role. "I'm ready, you don't have to see the difference. I return a newspaper and an editorial office as I found them," he concludes.
On other levels, Nathanaël de Rincquesen does not aspire to a political career like his guest Noël Mamère. On the other hand, the journalist, follower of the series of France 2 "Un si grand soleil", would love to have "a small role in cinema or television". Cheers!
