Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: This Proposal from Arthur That Camille Combal Would Have Categorically Refused

It’s in the box! Arthur, who took over the reins of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for the 25th anniversary of the show, wrapped up filming, for which he was accompanied by several personalities. But one big absentee, and not the least, was to be noted…

On television, presenters often play a game of musical chairs. After six years of good and loyal service, Camille Combal decided in 2018 to leave C8 and Touche pas à mon poste to join TF1.
