By 2025, Éric Antoine confirmed his status as a valuable asset of M6. Between the return of The Wheel of Fortune, the success of Talent Showdowns, 99 to Beat, and France Has Incredible Talent, the presenter has been busy filming to become one of the most prominent faces on the channel. At the same time, he also announced the end of Lego Masters after five seasons. He explained that the show, deemed costly and cumbersome to produce, no longer drew enough viewers. “I think we’ve explored it enough,” the host told Puremédias. “Seeing people build with bricks, it held for a while.” This observation was even clearer as the viewership had been declining since its launch in 2020. Conversely, The Wheel of Fortune was one of the formats expected to continue.
This Thursday, April 2, M6 once again relies on The Wheel of Fortune in prime time with a special celebrity edition airing from 9:10 pm. Hosting, Éric Antoine reunites with nine personalities who come to test their luck while playing for charities. Just like in the daily version, the principle remains the same: solve puzzles, increase the jackpot, and avoid dreaded spaces like Bankrupt or Exchange, which can change everything in an instant.
Three celebrity teams tonight
For this fifth special event, guests will be divided into three teams of three. The first trio will bring together Michel Boujenah, Chantal Ladesou, and Ilyes Djadel. The second will consist of Tibo InShape, Inès Vandamme, and Lebouseuh. Lastly, Gérard Jugnot, Charlotte Gabris, and Élie Semoun complete the evening’s cast. In each round, the best candidate will secure a spot in the final with the goal of further increasing the winnings for the charity they represent. Between humor, competition, and twists of fate, the evening promises to be once again very lively on M6.
