Mélanie Page, the Australian-British actress and wife of popular presenter Nagui, recently graced the screens of France 2, not to visit her husband's show, but to showcase a different kind of talent on 'Tout le monde à son mot à dire'. The show, which translates to 'Everyone has their word to say', is a game of charades and word association, and Page proved to be a formidable participant, much to the delight of her team and the viewers.
A Miming Marvel
During her appearance, Mélanie Page was tasked with conveying a series of words and proper nouns to a duo of contestants using only her gestures. From everyday objects like 'ascenseur' (elevator) and 'matelas gonflable' (inflatable mattress) to more abstract concepts and historical figures like 'cerveau' (brain) and 'Guillaume Tell' (William Tell), Page demonstrated an impressive ability to communicate through mime. Her performance was so effective that she managed to get the word 'champignon' (mushroom) across to her team in a mere three seconds, securing a full house and winning the round. This swift and successful mime earned her accolades, with ex-Miss France Valérie Bègue, with whom Page had spent some summer holidays, exclaiming, "Quel talent!" (What talent!).
Familiar Territory for Page
This wasn't the first time Mélanie Page had been seen on the France 2 premises recently. The previous week, she made a surprise appearance on Nagui's flagship show, 'N'oubliez pas les paroles' (Don't forget the lyrics), to support her husband. The video of her visit, shared by the show's official Twitter account, captured Nagui's delighted surprise and the viewers' enjoyment, highlighting the strong bond between the couple. Her participation in 'Tout le monde à son mot à dire' further cemented her presence within the France Télévisions family.
Understanding 'Tout le monde à son mot à dire'
'Tout le monde à son mot à dire' is a daily game show that has been a fixture on France 2 since 2017. The show's primary format involves contestants guessing words or phrases through charades, with the help of celebrity guests or by playing against each other. The game is known for its light-hearted and engaging nature, often featuring a mix of everyday words and more challenging concepts.
The show is co-hosted by Olivier Minne and Sidonie Bonnec. Their chemistry and engaging presentation style have been key to the show's enduring popularity. In a recent episode broadcast on Monday, June 9, 2025, the show returned after a two-week hiatus due to Roland Garros. The episode saw champion Mireille successfully defend her title against Mélanie, winning the final round with a score of 18 to 4 and accumulating a prize fund of 5,200 euros. The broadcast, airing between 18:05 and 18:37, captured the attention of 1.23 million viewers, achieving a 13.5% market share among the four-year-old and above demographic. On the crucial commercial target, the show resonated with 6.1% of women aged under 50 responsible for purchasing decisions, indicating a healthy reach within a key demographic.
A Fond Farewell for Olivier Minne
A significant change is on the horizon for 'Tout le monde à son mot à dire' as Olivier Minne prepares to bid farewell to France Télévisions after 35 years of service. He is set to join M6. While his replacement for the 2026 season of 'Fort Boyard' remains unconfirmed, the successor for 'Tout le monde à son mot à dire' has been announced. Bruno Guillon, a familiar face and regular contestant on the show, will be taking over the reins. This move will see Guillon hosting two daily shows on France 2, 'Chacun son tour' in the mornings and now 'Tout le monde à son mot à dire'.
The Emotional Final Episode
Olivier Minne's final episode was filmed on Thursday, June 5, 2025, and it was an occasion filled with emotion. Present on set for TV Mag, the atmosphere was palpable as Minne, dressed as a ship's captain, reminisced with co-host Sidonie Bonnec about their eight-year journey together. "We started this cruise eight years ago, it's not nothing," he remarked. He then noticed Bonnec in tears and acknowledged, "We will dock shortly, so this will be my last show."
The farewell episode, scheduled for broadcast later in the summer, was packed with surprises for Minne. Many of the show's regulars made an appearance, including Camille Cerf, Valérie Bègue, Thomas Isle, Donel Jacks’man, Armelle, Søren Prévost, Ariane Brodier, Valérie Maurice, Nathalie Corré, Éric Laugérias, Mélanie Page, Damien Thévenot, Manu Levy, and Florian Gazan. These familiar faces joined to celebrate Minne's tenure and wish him well.
A Heartfelt Homage
During his final address to the viewers, Olivier Minne expressed his gratitude: "I wanted to thank you for following us, and I hope you will continue to do so because the show will not change." He then turned his attention to Sidonie Bonnec, delivering a deeply personal and touching tribute. "I wanted to tell you that in my professional life, I've had the chance to do some duets with fantastic presenters, and then there was you who entered my life. I must confess that I consider myself a very spoiled man. You are a very particular, very special woman, and you must maintain that, that's what makes your strength, that's what makes me love you, what will always make me love you, beyond this program." This heartfelt declaration visibly moved Bonnec, who was overcome with emotion.
Minne continued to express his appreciation for his colleagues, stating, "Honestly, what a luxury to do a television show with people, women and men whom we adore seeing outside the set as well. It has been an absolute pleasure, so thank you very much to you too." He then symbolically passed the baton to his successor, Bruno Guillon, who was present on set. "I give you my captain's hat, you will have the chance to be with Sidonie and all our friends." Olivier Minne will continue to be seen on France 2 until the broadcast of 'Fort Boyard' concludes, typically in early September, before making his move to M6.
Looking Ahead
'Tout le monde à son mot à dire' continues to be a popular choice for viewers, airing daily from Monday to Saturday at 18:05 on France 2. With Bruno Guillon stepping in, the show is poised to maintain its engaging format, while Olivier Minne embarks on a new chapter in his broadcasting career.
