Éric Zemmour (born August 31, 1958) is a French writer and political journalist, born in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis. Until 2009, he was a reporter for Le Figaro and has since had a column in Figaro Magazine. He has also appeared as a television personality on the shows On n'est pas couché on France 2 between 2006 and 2011, Ça se dispute on i>TÉLÉ between 2003 and 2014, and Z comme Zemmour on RTL since January 2010. Starting September 2011, he has hosted Zemmour et Naulleau, a weekly evening talk show on Paris Première, together with Éric Naulleau. His antiliberal and radical positions, as well as the numerous controversies he has been involved in, are notorious in France.
Éric Zemmour was born in Montreuil (today in Seine-Saint-Denis) on August 31, 1958, to an Algerian family that came to Metropolitan France during the Algerian War. He identifies as a Jew of Berber origin, and above all as a French Jew. He grew up in Drancy and later in the Paris district of Château Rouge. The son of Roger Zemmour, a paramedic, and his wife Lucette, a housewife, he has said he admires his mother and grandmother: his father was often absent, and he was actually raised by women "who taught [him] to be a man."
