Michel Drucker (born September 12, 1942) is a popular French journalist and TV host.

Opinion polls have consistently shown him ranking high in popularity for decades now.

Michel Drucker was born in Vire, Calvados in Normandy. He is the younger brother of Jacques Drucker, a Doctor, and the older brother of Jean Drucker a TV top executive. He started a journalistic career in 1965 at the ORTF as sports reporter and commentator. Although he kept doing live coverage of major soccer matches until 1986, he soon turned to hosting variety shows. He is known for his polite and toned-down attitude towards show business stars.

He is married to the French actress Dany Saval and uncle of Léa Drucker, an actress and Marie Drucker, a TV journalist on France 3 News.

Michel Drucker has been on screen for so long and so permanently (in various shows and on different networks, both public and private), that he once said that some people consider that he was included in the price of their TV sets.

He is noted for having helped many Quebecois singers get discovered in Europe. His current show is Vivement Dimanche, every Sunday afternoon on France 2 and TV5 Monde.
