Véronique Cloutier will not host the 38thAre Prix Gémeaux next September and refrains from leading the gala, which celebrates the best of the small screen for the fifth consecutive year.
Radio-Canada confirmed this to agency QMI on Tuesday, saying the 48-year-old communicator has been very busy, particularly with her music competition Zénith, which she hosts live every Thursday, as well as animating Véronique and the fantastic on Rouge FM. She must also film in the next season of the comedy L’œil du cyclone and participate in the fundraiser “Different like you” in favor of her foundation Véro et Louis.

“Indeed, Véronique will not be returning to animating Gemini this year as she wants to focus on Zenith, The Eye of the Cyclone and all her other projects, among others. We also want to thank her for these last four years in animation,” said Julie Racine, Radio-Canada’s first director, promotion and public relations, via email.
The animation of the next Gala has already been confirmed, added Ms. Racine, but one must await the official announcement to know the identity of Véronique Cloutier’s successor.
The 38th Gémeaux Awards will be broadcast on September 17th on ICI Télé. The finalists will be announced on June 15th.
