His face and his voice marked the PAF. Jean-Luc Delarue, who would have celebrated his 59th birthday on June 24, was one of the popular figures with the French. Host then producer, he evolved in several media and different sectors throughout his career.
For radio fans, Jean-Luc Delarue hosted several programs in the 80s and 90s on Europe 1. Among them are Le Top 50, Les Goûters, L’Équipe du matin and Mon œil. But it is on television that the famous host is gaining notoriety among viewers.
After his debut on TV6 in the mid-1980s, Jean-Luc Delarue landed on Antenne 2 where he officiated in several programs until the end of the decade. In 1990, the host arrived on Canal and occupied the small screen for four years before returning to France 2. The 2000s marked the peak of this media man who presented entertainment, testimonial meetings and gave voice to anonymous on social issues.
Under his producer cap, Jean-Luc Delarue founded his company Reservoir Prod. He is at the origin of the creation of several successful programs such as It’s my choice, presented by Evelyne Thomas and Live my life hosted by Flavie Flament. Then he joined forces with Franck Saurat to found Carson Prod, to whom we owe Stars à domicile and the Fête de la musique on France 2.
