Why not Foucault 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 76-year-old television host, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Foucault 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 television host have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Marseille Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Marseille (Jean-Pierre Foucault's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the television host was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Jean-Pierre Foucault Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 20 Nov 2024

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveJean-Pierre”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 20 Nov 2024

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Jean-Pierre Foucault?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Jean-Pierre Foucault?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
