Jacques Martin (June 22, 1933 – September 14, 2007) was a French TV host and producer. ==Life and career== Martin was born in Lyon, Rhône. In the late 1960s he formed a comical duet of hosts on radio Europe 1 with French actor Jean Yanne. In the early 1970s, he was the sidekick of Danièle Gilbert, the host of ''Midi Première''. Martin created and hosted such popular satirical TV shows such as ''Le Petit Rapporteur'' ("The Little Snitch , 1975 - 1976, TF1) and ''La Lorgnette'' ("The Opera Glasses", 1976 - 1977, Antenne 2). He also tried a film career, writing and directing one film (''Na !'', 1973) and playing in others such as ''La Passante du Sans-Souci'', without great success. An operetta fan, he enjoyed presenting TV shows mixing popular and classical music, such as ''Musique and music'', which he prepared with the help of French composer Pierre Porte, invariably singing himself a few operetta arias himself during the show. He was a great discoverer of talents throughout his career, with future success such as Pierre Desproges, Stéphane Collaro, Laurent Ruquier or Laurent Gerra. He was also good at creating new concepts for television shows, the most famous being ''Le Petit Rapporteur'' and ''L'École des Fans''. He was particularly apt at interacting with small children on television, which was the reason of the success of ''L'École des Fans''. On a side note, ''L'École des Fans'' was the first television appearance of French singer Vanessa Paradis, in 1980; she was 7 years old. He was a regular of the radio show ''Les Grosses Têtes''. He was also an admirer of Sacha Guitry, whom he liked to quote and whose mannerisms he tried to emulate. 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「Jacques Martin (TV host)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
