Geneviève Suzanne Marie-Thérèse Mulmann (born 30 August 1932), also known as Geneviève de Fontenay, is a former chairman of the boards of Miss France and Miss Europe. Fontenay and her son Xavier Poirot sold the "Miss France" name to the group Endemol. In 2010, Fontenay created a rival beauty pageant contest, Miss Nationale, in partnership with the Swiss entrepreneur Eric Cormier. The name of "Fontenay", which Mulmann uses in her work, is simply a made-up pseudonym, but it is also used by her son Xavier Poirot. She was born in Longwy, Meurthe-et-Moselle, and lives in Saint-Cloud.

Salut les Terriens! is a French talk show hosted by Thierry Ardisson, launched on Canal+ on November 4, 2006, and then moved to C8 on September 10, 2016. The show subsequently changed its name and format in 2018 to become Les Terriens du Samedi! (The Earthlings of Saturday!). Initially conceived as a humorous take on current events with several guests and various games and segments, it later evolved into a more structured format with panel discussions and regular segments. In 2018, Thierry Ardisson sought to revamp the concept, believing the previous version had run its course, hence the transition to Les Terriens du samedi! with a new set and new segments, and a 360-degree turn in the ideology of the guests.

10.0

Teum-Teum was a French television program hosted by Juan Massenya that aired on France 5 from September 19, 2009, to July 23, 2011. Each month, Juan Massenya took a public figure to the suburbs—a space for meeting and discovering the people who shape life in these neighborhoods. According to producer Stéphane Simon, the show aimed to "take an interest—without naivety or stigmatization—in the people who shape life in France's neighborhoods, across all social backgrounds..." The program was structured around a series of encounters between the guest and local residents. Each meeting took place in a different location: an apartment, a housing project rooftop, a parking lot, a halal butcher shop, or a café.
