Cyprien, Star of 'Les 12 Coups de Midi,' Sets Exit at 212 Appearances

He says he will step away to resume his musicology studies.

Overview

  • Cyprien, the reigning champion on TF1’s daily quiz show, disclosed Thursday on-air that he will leave after his 212th appearance unless he is eliminated before then.
  • He has reached 202 participations and built €838,827 in winnings since starting his run on September 19, 2025.
  • If he hits his target, his final show is slated for Sunday, April 19, 2026.

  • Such a voluntary exit is rare on the program, last seen with Xavier in 2013, and Cyprien’s run has been a ratings draw above 3 million viewers with a 3.8 million peak on Easter Monday.
