Bernard Pivot, OC, CQ (; born May 5, 1935) is a journalist, interviewer and host of French cultural television programmes.〔(New York Times )〕 He is the chairman〔(L'Express )〕 of the Académie Goncourt.〔(Academie-goncourt.fr )〕 ==Biography== Pivot was born in Lyon, the son of grocers. During World War II, his father, Charles Pivot, was taken prisoner and his mother moved the family home to the village of Quincié-en-Beaujolais, where Bernard Pivot started school. In 1945 his father was released and the reunited family returned to Lyon. At age 10, Pivot went to a Catholic boarding school where he discovered a consuming passion for sport; a passion which helped teachers overlook his general mediocrity in all traditional school subjects except French language and history. After starting law studies in Lyon, Pivot entered the Centre de formation des journalistes (CFJ) in Paris where he met his future wife, Monique. He graduated second in his class. After an internship at ''Le Progrès'' in Lyon, he studied economic journalism for a full year, then joined the ''Figaro Littéraire'' in 1958. In 1970, he hosted a humorous daily radio programme that often raised political issues, not appreciated by Georges Pompidou. In 1971, the ''Figaro Littéraire'' closed and Pivot joined ''Le Figaro''. He left, however, in 1974 after a disagreement with Jean d'Ormesson. Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber invited him to start a new project which led to the creation of a new magazine, ''Lire'', a year later. Meanwhile, in April 1973 he had begun hosting a programme called ''Ouvrez les Guillemets'' on France's first TV network. In 1974, the ORTF was dissolved and Pivot started his ''Apostrophes'' programme. ''Apostrophes'' was first broadcast on Antenne 2 on January 10, 1975, and ran until 1990.〔(New York Times )〕〔(New York Times )〕 Pivot then created ''Bouillon de culture'', with the aim of broadening people beyond books. However, he eventually came back to books.〔(New York Times )〕 On April 10, 2008, Pivot was made an honorary member of the Order of Canada.〔(Governor General )〕〔(Canada Gazette )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernard Pivot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
