Edith Cochrane was recently invited to Jean-Sébastien Girard‘s show, Le beau dimanche de Jeannot, where it was her turn to be roasted. This segment, always highly anticipated, revisits the guest’s career with humor, peppered with winks and well-timed teasing.
Frencher Jean-Michel Anctil, because I’ve kind of already done that with him…
Toward the end of the roasting, Edith also participated in the quiz “cremeuse ou traditionnelle”, a segment where the host fires rapid-fire questions, often quite saucy.
Among them, Jean-Sébastien Girard proposes three names, and the guest must decide into which category each belongs: frencher, marry or kill. This moment, both funny and a touch irreverent, often yields spontaneous answers and several fits of laughter from both the guest and the audience.
Hesitation, then a pick of three celebrities
On her side, Edith initially showed real reluctance to dive into this little game. But after the host reminded her, laughing, that all guests participate, she finally let herself be persuaded… and agreed to play along.
“Oh my God, I hate this, this,” declares Edith, while Jean-Sébastien asserts, on his end, that he loves this game and could spend hours playing it.
“Marier, frencher or tuer, I find that so radical,” asserts Edith.
“Well yes, but that’s what makes it fun,” justifies the host.
“Okay, go ahead,” Edith falters.
“André Robitaille, Normand Brathwaite, Jean-Michel Anctil,” proposes Girard.
“Ah… See how much I hate this,” the guest hesitates.
“Ah… Well… uh… I can’t, I can’t,” declares Cochrane, visibly a bit uncomfortable.
“But you’re obliged, everyone’s answered so far,” convinces the host.
Her answer
Edith eventually relented and categorized the three names into the different categories, doing so with logic and taking care to explain her choices.
“Frencher Jean-Michel Anctil, because I’ve kind of already done that in… Slices of Life (…) so that’s already done (…) Marry Normand, because he’s entertaining, and he’s rich, then… Ah… kill André, sorry (…) there simply has to be one to kill,” she replies.
A response that directly nods to Tranches de vie, the show where couples were followed through their highs and lows, their little dramas, and their big moments of self-questioning, in all that life has to offer in its most real form. Edith left a mark on viewers, as did a solid ensemble that also included Raymond Bouchard, Josée Deschênes, Emmanuel Bilodeau, and Émilie Bibeau. In short, a tasty wink.
So, if you had been given the same three names to place in the proposed categories, would you have made the same choices as she did?
