In this entertainment straight from England, seven celebrities are installed to form a giant wheel 12 meters in diameter. In the center, a candidate will have to answer questions asked by Arthur. Each corresponds to a specific theme, from Friends to Asian cuisine, films with Brad Pitt, classical music and bees. To help the participant, only a celebrity perfectly masters the category that inspires the question. The wheel, which rotates at 12km/h, decides which guest will or will not help the candidate to win the round, hoping that it is the expert.

Thirty celebrity guests
At a press conference held on Monday, May 15 in the offices of TF1, Arthur congratulated, literally and figuratively, "to have put the anonymous at the center of the game". Accustomed to entertainment, the host presents for the first time a program that he does not produce. The reason? "After seeing the pictures, it was a real no-brainer, it was worth it. On the other hand, in the way of animating, it has been a little reimpimped with codes of "Take it or leave it", he explained to the president Warner Bros, Bruno Henriquet. Arthur, who said he had "a lot of fun", also claimed that viewers would "find his mocking spirit" and that he managed to "take the candidates from laughter to tears".
On the celebrity side, the host nicknamed the "French Michael McIntyre" - comic at the helm of the British version that is a hit on the BBC on Saturday night - has listed some names. "I was able to expand the circle of guests even if you will recognize some friends and members of "On Friday anything goes.'" Baptiste Lecaplain, Arnaud Tsamère, Camille Cerf but also Booder were present. In total, viewers will find thirty guests. Among them, the author Bernard Werber, the actors Gérard Jugnot and Alex Vizorek, the journalist Valérie Trierweiler, the chef Michel Sarran or Anne Roumanoff, Caroline Margeridon and Mathilda May played the game.
