Les Grosses Têtes

Les Grosses Têtes (French pronunciation: [le ɡʁos tɛt];"The Big Heads" or "The Big Brains" in English) is a daily comedy radio programme on the French language RTL radio network.

Presently broadcast from 15:30 to 18:00 in France and Belgium (on Bel RTL) this show has several regular segments.

In 2000, station managers thought that they could do without the services of their aging top host (animateur de référence) and replaced him with Christophe Dechavanne.
