Alison Wheeler

Born 1986-07-22 · Enghien-les-Bains, Val-d'Oise, France

Of French-Irish origin, Alison Wheeler was born on July 22, 1986, in Enghien-les-Bains in Val-d'Oise. After graduating with a Baccalauréat diploma in humanities at Notre-Dame-de-Bury High School, (Margency), she took comedy classes at Cours Florent and Studio Pygmalion. She also studied at the university Paris-Sorbonne IV.[1] After having participated in several television series and co-hosted the show Kawai on Filles TV alongside Louise Bourgoin, Wheeler won a role in the Saphia Azzeddine's adaption of Azzeddizine's novel Mon père est femme de ménage. Her performance as the big sister who dreams of becoming a musical star earned her a nomination for the 2012 Césars as "most promising actress".[2] She continued on to earn a small role in the biopic My Way, by Florent Emilio Siri, also released in 2012. During the same year, Wheeler established her internet presence: first on the site MadmoiZelle.com and later through the internet cooperative Studio Bagel,[3] which she joined in season 2, and which provided her with a wider audience. When Studio Bagel was acquired by the television channel Canal+, Wheeler became one of television's most prominent faces. She took part in the show Le Dézapping du Before, broadcast during le Before du Grand Journal, on the programme Carte de Presque and occasionally on the Grand Journal's JT de l'invité on Canal+.[4] However, Wheeler's most recognizable work began on September 9th, 2014, as a presenter for the Grand Journal weather on Canal + with Monsieur Poulpe. She left Le Grand Journal in spring of 2015 to focus on cinema.

40 poster

To celebrate this anniversary, CANAL+ is presenting a special prime-time program titled “40.” It’s an opportunity to defy the passage of time by revisiting some of the defining moments of pop culture in general and CANAL+ in particular. More than sixty—that’s the number of talents, artists, and actors whom the channel has had the privilege of watching emerge, flourish, or grow, and who have reimagined in their own way the films, series, and short-form programs that have shaped our shared history since November 4, 1984. On the stage of the Folies Bergère, Antoine de Caunes gracefully and effortlessly bridges the gap between 1984 and 2024 to host this evening, which alternates between studio segments, pre-recorded footage, and live performances.
