“I’m already in the mood to party. For anyone who is passionate about the profession and loves festive gatherings, this is an irresistible offer. I wish a “funky” party, a great communion that will highlight the excellence of the artists and craftsmen of our small screen. My joy will be immense in bringing this to life for viewers. I’m counting the nights already!” said the host in a statement on Friday.
PY will be on Everyone Talks About It this Sunday to talk more about this new challenge. Recall that he announced that he will no longer be on Télé-Québec next fall on Two Men in Gold and Rosalie. It is the one he replaced, Jean-Philippe Wauthier, who will take over as President.
Jean-François Blais will direct and produce Les Gémeaux.
“The Academy is delighted to be able to count on the exceptional talent and dynamism of Pierre-Yves Lord! We can’t wait to see it shine and enchant audiences on September 17th. We also take this opportunity to thank and greet Véronique Cloutier, whose dedication has been instrumental in the success of no fewer than nine galas!” said the President of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Academy of Cinema and Television – Quebec Section , Caroline Gaudette.
