The Louis-José Houde era is over. After the best presenter in the gala’s history left, ADISQ faces the difficult task of finding a replacement. The choice will be announced a few months before the gala presentation in 2024, but until then, here are some modest suggestions from the team Newspaper.

(CB) – The rising comedy star ticks several boxes. His livelihood is cracking jokes, a trait often sought after by ADISQ animators. He loves music and makes it himself, an interesting potential. In addition, which has not spoiled anything, it is very popular among young people, an audience to conquer for ADISQ and artists who sing in French.

(MP) – Did you know that Virginie Fortin has already raised the issue within the Which Is Which group? In addition to her love of music, the hilarious 37-year-old comedian and actress has proven time and time again that she is capable of shaking up the cage – most notably her sung “tribute” to ’90s comedians with Arnaud Soly at the recent Les Gala Olivier. One can assume that she would be an ideal successor to the excellent Louis-José Houde!

(SEN) – We love Alexandre Barrette for his good-natured and teasing humor that is never mean. The 42-year-old comedian has become even more popular with the general public since co-hosting Get Me Out of Here with Jean-Philippe Dion. He has a keen sense of quick wit and adapts easily to unexpected events. He might even invite his new best friend JP to a number or two.

(AC) – The film we saw with Louis-José Houde during a cover thank you capsule undoubtedly has what it takes to entertain the audience at the ADISQ Gala. Aside from his attire, which is always worthy of the biggest red carpets, his love for culture and his way of showing it on stage would fit very well into the entertainment of this annual gathering.

(CB) – This candidate comes out of left field, but when you look at it, this candidacy has merit. The singer’s popularity among the audience is at its peak, she has an endearing personality and a wonderful sense of humor. The possibility of her winning awards at the gala she hosted would not be uncommon. Shall we try it?
