Fabrice is celebrating his 85th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed television hosts of his generation.

Popular television host Fabrice (Récré A2, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 85th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Fabrice, a cultural icon

Born François Nazaire in Nice on August 20, 1941, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Fabrice'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 Fabrice hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Fabrice as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 85.

Happy Birthday, Fabrice, you're the best!
