Denis Coderre's attitude had already caused a stir during his own interview, but things got even more complicated when the comedians in the Reveal of the Year category arrived on set at the next Les Olivier gala.
It all started when the guests teased Tommy, who had just said that he fell in love with every barista he met. “He's looking for love on public television!” started his colleague Mégan Brouillard.
“Haha… I'll bring Denis back in the evening. Oh, Denis doesn't seem so sure…Denis reacted the same way when I said I was bringing him back as Quebec did when he said he was coming back…” Tommy laughed.
Here is Denis Coderre's reaction when this joke was made:
He didn't seem to enjoy the moment, although he laughed (very briefly) at the end before adding: “You're better with cow's milk,” referencing a joke from The Tommy Show that had just been excerpted .
Tommy Néron graduated from the National School of Humor in 2022 and describes himself as a classic storyteller. He is originally from Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and you may have seen him on TikTok, where he has more than 125,000 subscribers.
But that was not all.
During the interview with entrepreneur Luc Poirier, the real estate crisis came into the debate. While Coderre agreed with Poirier, who reiterated that the solution to the crisis was to create more space for the private sector, Tommy Néron asked if that was really the key to the problem.
“If the country continues to rise, my rent will continue to rise. What is the solution to this? Because as it is, I’ll have roommates until I’m 60.”
“With all due respect, it’s not a question of humor,” replied Denis Coderre dryly, triggering a reaction from the entire set.
“That's no joke!” Tommy shouted from his side.
Not surprisingly, Denis Coderre's stance caused a huge reaction on social networks.
