During the 1980s, he was the host of several television programmes, such as Suivez Lecoq (1980-1981), L'académie des neuf (1987-1991 on Antenne 2), and Tout le monde il est gentil (1989-1990 on La Cinq).

His impression of former French Jacques Chirac, one of the show's most popular caricatures, was one of the biggest contributors to Lecoq's public fame.

He has also presented various programs such as Graines de star in 1996 and 1997 on M6, and Les Grands du Rire on France 3 from 2005 onwards.

He took part in 2019 in the french port of the famous Masked Singer TV franchise, inside the Dino character.

He was eliminated in the fourth episode, aired 29 November 2019, and unmasked to overall surprise as he wasn't found by the panelists or live audience.
