Eric was present every day in the 12 midday strokes of Jean-Luc Reichmann since November 21, 2019. This Friday, June 19, the Breton champion that the host liked to call “Fantastérix” ended up being eliminated from the daily game. So he bows after 199 participations and total earnings of 921 316€, which makes him the greatest noon master of all time. He is also the second biggest winner in a game show of all time (the record is still held by Marie, who had won a million euros in 2004 in Who wants to earn millions). Eric’s career has been particularly followed in recent months because he has finally managed to forget the previous records of participations and gains of Christian Quesada, fallen champion of the game. Eric also finishes his race in the 12 noon with 62 master shots and 7 mysterious stars discovered.
In an interview with Linternaute.com, Eric did not hide his disappointment to fail at the foot of the symbolic bar of 200 participations. “There is a touch of disappointment, I do not hide it from you. But ultimately it is more a symbolic objective than anything else. The main thing for me is to have taken the first place. We will see, maybe one day someone will manage to exceed 200 participations and to exceed me. “He also explains to us that he intends to use his earnings to enlarge his house or to buy a bigger one to live with his woman and her two daughters in a larger place. In this interview, he goes back in detail on his journey, his doubts, the tension he felt towards the records he won but also the media pressure that ‘He hopes to see a decrease in the coming weeks.

The day of his 199e participation, Eric made two mistakes in a row on a piecemeal basis. He therefore lost control of his destiny and had to duel one of his opponents, hoping that he was wrong to stay in the game. Here is the question that was asked of Colas: What object has the same name as an insect? A feather duster, a broom, a sponge or a mop? Colas replied that it was a mop. And indeed, it is an insect that has the distinction of cutting the roots of plants. Faced with Colas’ correct answer, Eric was therefore eliminated after 199 participations. He will therefore never have the opportunity to establish a record above the bar of 200 participations as it was certainly his wish. In addition to six months of participation, Eric is however the greatest master of the 12 midday strokes and it will be necessary to replace him!
On the show, Eric reacted with philosophy to his surprise elimination of the 12 noon shots: “Nothing is ever for granted” he launched before wishing the best to Colas, his replacement. “I want Colas to go very far, I think he has the potential to go very far.” He also praised the show’s teams who “are really great. We are very well received”. At the address of Jean-Luc Reichmann, the animator who accompanied him during these long months, he explained that the 12 noon shots will remain “a unique moment in my life”.
On the set of 12 noon shots the day of the elimination of the greatest master of the show, Jean-Luc Reichmann said all the good he thought of Eric. “You are a beautiful person and you have always been as fair as possible. You have remained upright. Continue to advocate your family and work values.” Compliments he reiterated on his official Twitter account: “Eric, you lost today but you can be proud of yourself. After 199 shows, you are now the man to beat.”
The previous mysterious star was discovered on May 31, 2020 by Eric le Breton during his 180th participation. The many clues indicated that Elodie Gossuin had to be found in this riddle. We explain why:
- An icy decor because she is the godmother of the Andros Trophy, a car race on ice
- A tractor because she participated in La Ferme Celebrités in 2004
- A microscope because she wanted to become a nurse after a scientific baccalaureate in biology
- A European flag because it was Miss Europe in 2001
- A microphone because she is on the radio every morning on RFM
- A bird cage as she was a cage warrior in Fort Boyard
- A mirror because she was queen of beauty and in particular Miss France 2001
