Albert Algoud

Albert Algoud (born March 23, 1950) is a French humorist known for his sketches on several Canal+ programs (Nulle part ailleurs, and the Karl Zéro shows) and on the radio.

In 1989, he spent several months hosting a comedy radio show on RFM with Antoine de Caunes and Karl Zéro (Ba be bi bo bu).

[3][4] In Nulle part ailleurs [fr] (NPA), he was one of a group of comedians who filmed Karl Zéro's sketches, writing the former's scripts with Antoine de Caunes and Laurent Chalumeau.

He is also a scriptwriter/dialoguist on several films, including Les Hauts Murs[11] directed by Christian Faure; Gérard Oury's Le Schpountz; Laurent Heynemann's Un aller simple[12] and Didier Bourdon's Bambou.

[13] From September 2007 to December 2007, he hosted the daily program On aura tout vu on Direct 8 every evening at 6 p.m., with Stéphanie Pillonca, Louise Ekland and Fréderic Martin, reviewing cultural news.

The character of "Père Albert" reappears alongside Daniel Morin in À rebrousse poil,[14] the program the latter presents every day at 11 a.m. on France Inter, during the summer of 2015.

From 2015 to 2020, he appeared twice weekly on La Bande originale, Nagui's show on France Inter, with a humor column entitled "Albert Algoud a tout compris",[15] where he alternated between his recurring characters who had moved from one show to the next: Father Albert (a cantankerous priest with a Savoyard accent), Marshal Ganache (a former Indo soldier and Petainist), François-François (a glittering singer), John-Jack Lang (the other guy's brother), Jean-Dominique Besnehard (speech therapist to the stars), Jean-Roger Navarro, Jean-Philippe Manœuvre...

[16][17] In 2007, Albert Algoud and Pascal Fioretto drew two gentle caricatures of Nicolas Sarkozy and Ségolène Royal, both candidates in the 2007 French presidential election.
