Cyril Hanouna: origin and biography
Who is Cyril Hanouna? Born on September 23, 1974 in Paris, Cyril Valéry Isaac Hanouna is of Tunisian origin through his parents who came to settle in France in 1969. His father is a doctor and opened a general practice in Les Lilas, while his mother is a luxury boutique manager in Vincennes. His father had long dreamed of making him an illustrious doctor, and at one point it was also his ambition, with his scientific baccalaureate, specializing in biology. Nevertheless, he chose another path, opting for a DEUG in eco-management, then later enrolling at the INTEC (National Institute of Economic and Accounting Techniques). However, he never appeared for the exams, nor did he renew his registration. In the meantime, he held several positions at the same time, being a bank employee or even a leisure center animator, etc.
Having always been fascinated by television, it was in 1999 that Cyril Hanouna quickly turned to the world of television. At the time, he was still a teenager. He participates in several programs such as the “Just Price” or “Let the best win! He then made his professional debut by writing for a France 2 sitcom called "Sur la vie d'ma mère".

The success was there that he extended it until 2006.
But the key moment in Cyril Hanouna's career, the origin of his real current success, was in 2009. France 4 was about to put an end to his game "The door open to all windows" , which did not reach the desired audience. Cyril Hanouna then brings together his team and, for the final broadcasts, advises them to let go and "have fun". The future recipe for “Touche Pas à Mon Poste – TPMP” has been found. The show, devoted to media news, really started in April 2010 on France 4. Cyril Hanouna founded H2O, his production company, prowled a coherent troop of columnists and, finally, the audiences took on color. He also co-founded Click and Game Entertainment in 2010.
