Olivier Minne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Olivier Minne was born on 18 March 1967 in the Belgian capital, Brussels. The son of a Belgian father and a French mother, Olivier studied in Brussels for his "bac" qualification (secondary school matriculation) before moving to Paris in 1989.

In Paris, Olivier studied the dramatic arts, shortly after his career in television began. In 1992, he started working for the French TV programme Matin Bonheur where he worked for five years. Following his departure in 1997, he became both presenter and co-producer of Cercle de minuit on the same channel.

Having presented Le choix gagnant (1996), Jeux sans frontières (co-hosted with Jean Riffel in 1997) and the final season of Écrans du savoir in 2000, Olivier then became the co-host (along with Anne-Gaëlle Riccio) of the popular game show Fort Boyard. He also has hosted the game show La Cible on France 2.
