was replaced by another game show, Les Douze Coups de midi, which is broadcast every day.
[3][4] The show was hosted by Jean-Luc Reichmann and was co-produced by Formidooble, the company of Jean-Luc Reichmann and Marie Schneider, and DV Prod, a company created by Hervé Hubert, a subsidiary of Endemol France and the Endemol group.
[6] Jean-Luc Reichmann is now a host of Les Douze Coups de midi.
Most Sundays, celebrities play for an association, or people with something in common (e.g. four ventriloquists or four conjurers).
The first to give the right answer scores a point, represented by a "buddy", a CGI character appearing on his screen.
It's in this round that the traditional "naughty question" (the fourth before summer 2008, the second since) about love takes place.
When the host asks this question, we hear Joe Cocker's song You can leave your hat on, which is the soundtrack to the film 9 1/2 weeks.
The candidate who received the most votes was allowed to move on to the second round, and was dubbed "The Public's Favorite", while the only candidate who hadn't lost his two buddies during the first round was simply dubbed the overall winner.
At this point, an excerpt from Protest, the fourth section of Morton Gould's concerto Spirituals for Strings Choir and Orchestra, is played.
Starting on 1 March 2007, each of them has two 45-second rounds in which to give as many correct answers as possible to the questions put to them, in order to win as many points as possible.
To illustrate this rule, Jean-Luc Reichmann often says: "One goes forward, the other goes back, it's the great game of seesaw" (French: « L'un avance, l'autre recule, c'est le grand jeu de la bascule »).
The game show first saw the light of day in Spain with the title Números locos, broadcast on Antena 3 in 2005 and presented by Carlos Sobera.
[8] In 2007, Russian TV channels Rossiya and Bibigon bought the show's format.
[10][11] In Vietnam, the TV show Con số vui nhộn aired on VTV9 and was hosted by Đại Nghĩa.
[12] In Portugal, the TV show Quem Quer Ganha for a short time used the format based on the French TV game show Attention à la marche !
