In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Jean-Pierre Pernaut's 1 PM News” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2791 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3503 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Jean-Pierre Pernaut's 1 PM News” meme mean?
The meme teases a homely, local-first news show where national headlines give way to village fairs, craftspeople and regional customs. Saying “good afternoon, welcome to the 1 PM news” sets up a deliberately trivial story told with total seriousness. The tone is fond: people smile at a familiar kind of lunchtime television rather than attack the man.
Where does the “Jean-Pierre Pernaut's 1 PM News” meme come from?
Jean-Pierre Pernaut, born in Amiens on 8 April 1950, started anchoring TF1's Journal de 13 heures on 22 February 1988. He launched a segment called SOS Villages after learning that French villages were losing their last shops daily, and he put heritage and regional stories in the spotlight through a network of local correspondents. The Canal+ show Bienvenue au Groland caricatured this proximity journalism. His last bulletin aired on 18 December 2020, and he died on 2 March 2022. His style has fed countless parodies and impressions online.
