Why not Métayer for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 65-year-old comedian, as a 2023 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Métayer so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the comedian have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Paris Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Paris (Éric Métayer's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the comedian was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Éric Métayer Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 22 Sep 2023
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveÉric”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 22 Sep 2023
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Éric Métayer?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 22 Sep 2023
Could 2023 officially be the Year of Éric Métayer?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2023 Person of the Year.
