There is only one certainty associated with this Bye: It gets people talking. The 2023 edition was no exception and sparked a wave of positive and negative reactions. One of the targets of the year in review, Marilou, also left a tasty comment for director Simon Olivier Fecteau.

On Facebook, Simon Olivier Fecteau shared some remarkable images from the making of the show and emphasized: “A big thank you!! The comments on Bye Bye are incredible! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Haha.”
In response to this post, Marilou simply left a “I thought it was excellent mwah!” in the comments, referencing the skit that parodies her in Hyundai commercials. Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse played Marilou for the occasion.

A very peaceful day afterwards
Simon Olivier Fecteau, who planned to watch “Bye Bye” with friends at home on January 1, had to cancel his party because his partner contracted COVID.
The bye bye is over! And tomorrow I threw a big party at our house to listen to it, but… My girlfriend has Covid-19 disease…
We will have a very quiet New Year's Day :-\
