Jean-Philippe, whom I really like, I send him a kiss and thank him.
A New Chapter for Bonsoir bonsoir!
The spring TV season is officially underway with the big return of Bonsoir bonsoir!, which went back on the air last night for a brand-new season.
A New Season… and a Host Who Already Knows the Show
And this time, it’s officially official: Jean-Sébastien Girard is at the helm of the talk show.
A Quick Look Back
Recall that during the previous season, he stepped in temporarily while the show’s longtime host, Jean-Philippe Wauthier, was going through a particularly tough period caused by burnout. This baton pass, initially described as temporary, ended up becoming permanent, marking a new chapter for the show’s beloved summer run.
Jean-Sébastien Girard, faithful to his dry humor and keen cultural sensibility, managed to imprint his own vibe while respecting the warm, inclusive DNA of the show. Meanwhile, Jean-Philippe Wauthier quietly reemerges in the spotlight, at his own pace.
I feel like Christine Fréchette
A Brief Political Comment
“I’m so glad to be here, for real. The grand premiere of our summer show. Right now, honestly, I feel like Christine Fréchette, filled with gratitude, very excited, even though both of us won’t be around this fall,” he revealed at the outset, as he welcomed the new prime minister succeeding François Legault.
Thanks and Praise for Wauthier
“Before moving on, I want to take three seconds to salute my great friend Jean-Philippe Wauthier, who created this show, who carried it for many years. Jean-Philippe, whom I really like, I send him a kiss and thank him. Thank you very much, Jean-Philippe. There are people who don’t listen to us on the radio who ask how he’s doing; he’s doing well. We’ve started doing radio together again and it’s a great pleasure. Of course, I’ve made a few small changes. Don’t worry, the DNA… what you love about Bonsoir bonsoir stays the same,” he added for his friend.
A New Set
Even though the show’s DNA remains intact, Jean-Sébastien steps into a refreshed set, with a chic, intimate atmosphere that suits him perfectly.
A new era is thus opening for Bonsoir bonsoir!… and it’s already promising some memorable evenings.
This was, in fact, a big opening night for him, as he welcomed, among others, Sam Breton as a guest.
We wish Jean-Sébastien a magnificent season of Bonsoir bonsoir! and plenty of success in a role that he now fully owns.
And we also send lots of warmth to Jean-Philippe.
