Became a member of the Académie Goncourt, the association that yearly awards the Prix Goncourt, France's top literary award. Although he never wrote a fiction book, members of the jury chose and elected him as "the man that has done the most these last decades for French books and literature", thanks to his TV shows. [October 2004]

Also famous for the "dictée de Pivot": each year in France, he writes a very difficult text to train French people to orthography, grammar... Lots of French-speaking persons like this challenge.
