Claire Chazal (pronounced [klɛːʁ ʃazal]; born 1 December 1956) is a French journalist, romance writer, and former director of news at a national television station, France 2.
She had been the weekend news anchor at TF1 beginning in 1991, and gave her final broadcast at the station on 13 September 2015; Anne-Claire Coudray, who had often substituted for her when she was absent, was announced as her replacement. Between 2010 and 2015, she had also been the host of Reportage at 1:30 pm, after the news.
She used to host Je/nous de Claire, a talk show on the gay television channel Pink TV that she helped start in 2004. The title of this show puns on Le Genou de Claire, a French film known in English as Claire's Knee.
Chazal obtained an HEC School of Management diploma.
