Cyprien  returned for his 40th appearance on  TF1’s “Les 12 coups de midi”  this Tuesday, October 28, 2025. In this episode of the game show hosted by  Jean-Luc Reichmann , the reigning champion faced off against  Shervin, Louane  , and  Fred . Fred had previously appeared on the show in 2013 against  Xavier . He presented the host with a comic book he had created about his life.

All the highlights of Jean-Luc Reichmann’s life are captured in this comic strip. Then, Fred reveals to him that he had acted in  Léo Mattéï  , but… his scene was cut during editing. The host replies,  “That’s really bad luck .” A little later, he brings it up again. Fred explains that he played  Natasha St-Pier ‘s tennis coach  and was supposed to drive her back to the hotel. He had told his friends and family that he was going to be in the series.

Jean-Luc Reichmann shocked by a contestant’s underwear, a masterstroke for Cyprien

The host, who had been ridiculed by Cyprien, offered him a role as an extra in  Léo Mattéï  . Fred then failed the first round. The contestant was astonished, as he had brought a lucky charm: a pair of underwear bearing the image of… Jean-Luc Reichmann! Reichmann was stunned when he saw it and exclaimed,  “Don’t worry, that won’t be cut in the editing ! “

In the second round, Cyprien found himself in danger as Louane challenged him to a duel. But the reigning champion answered the question correctly. During the “final blow,” he displayed great concentration against Shervin, who proved formidable. With an 11-second lead, Cyprien secured his 40th victory.

In the final round, Cyprien, who was recently disappointed by Jean-Luc Reichmann, triumphed once again, winning €30,000. Facing the mystery star, worth €29,739, he guessed  Johnny Depp , but to no avail. Cyprien’s total winnings now stand at €194,345. He is nearing the symbolic €200,000 mark.
