'''Nagui Fam''' ({{IPA-fr|naɡi fam}}) is a [[French people|French]] TV and radio personality. In his professional life, he goes by his first name '''Nagui'''.
== Biography ==
Nagui was born in [[Alexandria]]. His family left Egypt in 1967 and Nagui has never returned. His [[Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria|Greek Orthodox]] [[Egypt]]ian father was a university professor of [[French literature]], and his mother was a professor of [[classical studies]]. After a period in [[Aix-en-Provence]] and in [[North America]] the family settled in [[Cannes]] in the French [[département]] of [[Alpes-Maritimes]].


==Early life==
During the 1980s he escaped his commercial studies at [[École des Hautes Études Commerciales|HEC]] by participating in [[pirate radio]] (such as Radio [[Vintimille]]), and created, in 2004, a radio of his own: Loisirs AM. In 1988, he was hired by the French radio network [[RTL (French radio)|RTL]].

== Career ==
His television career began in 1987 on [[Métropole Télévision|M6]], and switched to [[TF1]] in 1989. He became well known at the beginning of the 1990s with his game show ''[[Que le meilleur gagne]]'' (''May the Best One Win'') on La Cinq, which he carried over to [[France 2]], which he joined in May 1992. His fame has been marked by frenetic humour in the part-[[parody]] ''[[N'oubliez pas votre brosse à dents]]'' (''[[Don't Forget Your Toothbrush]]'') or by a much more laid-back tone in the more serious ''Que le meilleur gagne''. The former has received some harsh criticism, notably for using a pistol-shaped microphone to question the show's contestants. ''L'Appel de la couette'' (''Invitation to the Duvet'') has received similar criticisms form TV critics as it welcomes celebrity guests in their pyjamas, reclining in bed.
