Josep Paltun is a Nouvelle Alexandrie comedian, television host, and producer. He is remembered widely across Nouvelle Alexandrie for his pioneering work in the entertainment and television industry, renowned for his wit, charm, and ability to connect with audiences across generations. Paltun was also known for broadcasting and dubbing his programs in both Martino, Alexandrian, and Wechua.
Paltun was born in Parap, Wechua Nation, to a modest family. He followed an education at the Royal University of Parap in Performing Arts. He began his career at the Parap City Theater as an actor, but quickly switched to a career in radio in 1670 AN. In 1686 AN, he was hired by the newly-founded National Broadcasting Corporation to become a television host. In that capacity, he spent almost 40 years as host, performing in a wide variety of programs ranging from variety shows, game shows, talent showcases, to late-night comedy. He was best known for his variety show Le Grande Salon. In his latter years, he became known for three wholly different shows: Les Mélodies Oubliées, about classical music; his travel program Les Voies du Monde; and the literary review Le Salon Littéraire
A Cárdenas Metro stop and the eponymous Plaza Paltun in the Culture District were renamed after him in 1686 AN.
Paltun retired at the impressive age of 80, and spent his final years writing children's books and his personal memoirs. He received moderate praise for his series Bimbi the Clown. He died at the age of 94 after suffering a severe stroke.
