The party opened with a song with Mary May accompanied by dancers from Levi’s DM Nation, who were recently crowned World Champion in Hip Hop Dance, and a pop star success: Cobra But that number was interrupted by Claude Cobra, singer of Bleu Jeans Bleu, who thought he was being called by the star.

Then he suggested replacing Mary May Cobra by turkey. In honor of an old viral report in which a woman received an impromptu visit from Turkey at her home! Stéphane Fallu also invited himself on stage for this streaming number, but his sense of humor waned a bit despite the elaborate setup.

Marie-Mai, a true multi-disciplinary artist with a very charming look, did a good job hosting this party, which was supposed to be a great variety show.

P. A. Méthot and Stéphane Poirier provided figures that left much room for generational conflict. Mitho recounted a fun day at Granby Zoo as a family with his 11-year-old daughter. Poirier echoed the #MeToo movement with arrows fired at Philip Bond and Julien Lacroix.

Christian Marc Gendron was warmly received by many spectators after his impressive imitation number. Those of Garou and Pierre Lapointe were particularly successful. Meanwhile, comedian Michel Sharett has ventured into slightly more saucy territory by insisting on the importance of following his inner voice.

Daniel Lemmer was one of them. We have paid tribute to his 40-year career with Denis Bouchard and Gildor Roy. Then Lemmer appeared on the boards in the skin of his famous uncle George. The latter was warmly received.
