Albert Algoud

Albert Algoud (born March 23, 1950, in Asnières-sur-Seine), is a French humorist known for his sketches on several Canal+ programs (Nulle part ailleurs, and the Karl Zéro shows) and on the radio. He has also published books on Tintin.

Albert Algoud is the son of writer François-Marie Algoud and the grandson of author Albert Algoud. According to the January 1995 issue of L'Histoire, Albert Algoud was himself a member of Action Française in his youth. He then spent a few months with the Gauche prolétarienne, a movement he soon left because he disagreed with Marxist–Leninist ideology and Stalinist tendencies.

In the 1970s and 1980s, he was a contributor to the libertarian and surrealist magazines La Crécelle noire and Camouflage.

He worked as a French teacher, first in Haute-Savoie, in Seynod, then at Les Allobroges college in La Roche-sur-Foron, and finally in the Yvelines, at Jean Jaurès college in Poissy. He began broadcasting on Contrebande in Annecy. In 1989, he spent several months hosting a comedy radio show on RFM with Antoine de Caunes and Karl Zéro (Ba be bi bo bu). On this show, with Karl Zéro, he played several characters, including Barry White.

He was a member of the group Les Jalons.

In Nulle part ailleurs (NPA), he was one of a group of comedians who filmed Karl Zéro's sketches, writing the former's scripts with Antoine de Caunes and Laurent Chalumeau. On the set of NPA, he played the legionnaire Pintimbert alongside Karl Zéro. Following Antoine de Caunes's departure, Algoud was given the show's finale, where he read the eulogy of the day's guest. For two seasons, he contributed to the weather, disguised as grotesque characters (the Queen Mother, Rika, Father Albert, Marshal Ganache...).

With Christophe Bertin, he helped create the news pastiche Zérorama, broadcast from January 3, 1994. He then appeared on Karl Zéro's satirical news program Le Vrai Journal. On France Inter radio, Algoud hosted La partie continue a cultural magazine show in the 6pm-7pm slot between 1999 and June 28, 2002.

Albert Algoud, also a Tintinophile, has published numerous works dedicated to the world of Tintin. These include a dictionary of Captain Haddock's swear words and an unauthorized biography of Castafiore. In 2010, he published the Petit dictionnaire énervé de Tintin, and in 2016 the Dictionnaire amoureux de Tintin.[10]

From 2003 to September 2005, he was editor-in-chief of Fluide glacial magazine.

He also writes columns for I-Télé, contributes to the "Le coincoin des variétés" column in Le Canard enchaîné, and writes for the weekly magazine À nous Paris, as well as the comic strip magazine Cargo Zone. He is also a scriptwriter/dialoguist on several films, including Les Hauts Murs[11] directed by Christian Faure; Gérard Oury's Le Schpountz; Laurent Heynemann's Un aller simple[12] and Didier Bourdon's Bambou.[13]

From September 2007 to December 2007, he hosted the daily program On aura tout vu on Direct 8 every evening at 6 p.m., with Stéphanie Pillonca, Louise Ekland and Fréderic Martin, reviewing cultural news.

In 2008 and 2009, he was co-author with Éric Laugérias and Laurent Gerra, then in 2010-2011 and 2011–2012, with Pascal Fioretto, of Laurent Gerra's daily column, commenting on current affairs from Monday to Friday, on RTL, between 8:50 and 9 am. Algoud pastiche the voices of Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as Osama bin Laden.

On France Inter's Le Fou du roi, he takes part on certain days in Daniel Morin's column as "le père Albert". In September 2011, he joined Daniel Morin's team in La Morinade, broadcast on Le Mouv'. He regularly plays various roles. The show was discontinued by the new management of Le Mouv' in December 2013. The character of "Père Albert" reappears alongside Daniel Morin in À rebrousse poil,[14] the program the latter presents every day at 11 a.m. on France Inter, during the summer of 2015.

From 2015 to 2020, he appeared twice weekly on La Bande originale, Nagui's show on France Inter, with a humor column entitled "Albert Algoud a tout compris",[15] where he alternated between his recurring characters who had moved from one show to the next: Father Albert (a cantankerous priest with a Savoyard accent), Marshal Ganache (a former Indo soldier and Petainist), François-François (a glittering singer), John-Jack Lang (the other guy's brother), Jean-Dominique Besnehard (speech therapist to the stars), Jean-Roger Navarro, Jean-Philippe Manœuvre...

In 2019, he has a column, entitled "Il était une femme", on Daniel Morin's weekly program Vous les femmes. In it, Albert Algoud presents a woman who has performed an exceptional or heroic deed, but whom history has forgotten.

In 2023, Albert Algoud's autobiographical comic strip Le Prof qui a sauvé sa vie (The Teacher Who Saved His Life), illustrated by Florence Cestac, was published by Dargaud, recounting his past as a teacher.[16][17]

In 2007, Albert Algoud and Pascal Fioretto drew two gentle caricatures of Nicolas Sarkozy and Ségolène Royal, both candidates in the 2007 French presidential election.
