Comedians Simon Delisle, Dominic Sillon, Martin Cloutier, Michel Boujenah, Laurent Paquin and Billie Tellier, host France Castel and Michel’s son Olivier Barrette seem to have had a blast preparing this well-prepared dish. They take it in turns to perform a comedic number that emphasizes their colleague’s weaker moves and certain traits. They share juicy anecdotes that often make the turkey blush at the stuffing! To top it off, Gildor Roy, the guest’s great friend, transformed into a snarky master of ceremonies. The headmaster in question, on the other hand, likes to listen to his friends, even if he doesn’t have the right to speak. “He won’t be able to speak for the next hour. This is outrageous!” says Gildor, setting the tone for the evening.
With this well-cooked meal, viewers learn a lot about the man who was born in 1957. Apparently he is lazy, as the duo Dominic and Martin reveal. Comedians have already engaged the artist as a director. “When we were offered this, we were skeptical at first. We wanted a female director, not a pregnant director,” says Dominic, making the whole audience laugh. Martin regrets not playing his role well: according to Michel, their whole show was funny – not very constructive criticism!
France Castel, his co-host on For Fun, also talks about his lazy side. While she spent hours analyzing the authors’ books they were given on set, Michel managed to complete a 20-minute interview after just reading the back cover! She also takes the opportunity to congratulate herself on being one of the few women who has never slept with him.
A funny mistake
All guests seem to agree: Michel is a character with strange habits. Billie Tellier even thinks he should be locked up in a psychiatric ward. “You should be ashamed to laugh at him. He suffers from compulsive hoarding disorder, which forces a person to store unnecessary items. He needs help!” he cries. He then lists Michel’s belongings linked to politician John F. Kennedy, like this authenticated hair. “Luckily you were five when he died, because you would be my first suspect.” , adds Billie. Olivier Barrette also knows his dad’s wacky side. “My dad is 43 TV shows, 23 movies, 200 tanks… and 475 ladies,” he insists, without putting on white gloves. “He’s the best storyteller in Quebec. He even manages to talk about events he didn’t take part in, such as my birth! he continues.
As for the saguenéen Simon Delisle, he has prepared an effective number on the differences between his native region and that of Michel, Lac-Saint-Jean. Then it’s the turn of Frenchman Michel Boujenah to gently torment his friend. In particular, he tells of a long and painful car ride with him. To conclude the well-cooked offering, Laurent Paquin offers a remastered version of the legendary Roland Hi! Ha!” Tremble. If you like Michel Barrette, don’t miss this show that will show you him in a new light!
