Bonsoir bonsoir! continues its summer season with a format that keeps drawing viewers in year after year. Under the direction of Jean-Sébastien Girard, the late-night show offers candid discussions, unexpected confidences, and exchanges that allow audiences to see guests from a different angle.
This time, it was Serge Denoncourt who took a seat on the set. A well-known figure in the Quebec arts scene, the stage director has built a reputation for his blunt honesty, his critical eye, and his vast experience in the world of show business. Loved by many for his authenticity, he doesn’t mince words when it comes to his craft or the cultural industry.
During his appearance on the program, he came to discuss his current projects, notably the brand-new staging of a Laurent Paquin production. The conversation also allowed us to revisit The Count of Monte-Cristo, a production highly anticipated to open in the coming weeks. He also shared a segment on sex and men aged 50 and older.
However, before even addressing these projects, Serge insisted on making an important clarification, immediately setting the tone for this interview that stays true to his direct, no-nonsense personality.
He had an important message for the host, as well as for the production team and the late-night program.
Dry, direct comments, as he usually makes?
Well, no…
It was actually a moment of recognition. Denoncourt took care to praise the work of Jean-Sébastien and the entire Bonsoir bonsoir! team, while highlighting, in passing, the important place the show gives to Quebec culture and theater.
“I have to like you a lot to be here as I’m about to start my marathon: Monte-Cristo rehearsals are moving into the theater, the show with Laurent that we’ll talk about soon. I’ve got to really like you. But I really want to tell you, I do watch the show anyway, among all hosts, among all the programs in the world, you’re the program that pays the most homage, with intelligence and respect, to the world of theater. And I wanted to thank you,” said Serge Denoncourt.
“Ah, well, that makes me very happy!” replied Jean-Sébastien Girard.
A compliment that clearly touched the host
It’s worth noting that Bonsoir bonsoir! regularly gives significant airtime to artists, theater productions, and Quebec culture—a facet Serge highlighted with great generosity.
