Arthur is celebrating his 59th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed television hosts of his generation.
Popular television host-comedian Arthur (Les Enfants de la télé, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 59th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Arthur, a cultural icon
Born Jacques Essebag in Casablanca on March 10, 1966, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Arthur's not just a great television host, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Arthur hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Arthur as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 59.
Happy Birthday, Arthur, you're the best!
