Tout le monde en parle
(
French pronunciation:
[tu
l(?)
m??d
??
pa?l]
; "Everyone's Talking About It") is a
Quebec
talk show
hosted and co-produced by
Guy A. Lepage
, broadcast on
Television de Radio-Canada / Ici Radio-Canada Tele
since 2004, and simulcast on the radio on
Ici Radio-Canada Premiere
. It is adapted from the former
French
talk show of the same name
, created and hosted by
Thierry Ardisson
.
Concept
[
edit
]
Every week, the show welcomes various personalities from different spheres: politics, sport, show, literature, journalism, religion, etc. They usually have taken part in current events, and although they are mostly
Quebecers
, they are sometimes international guests. They are invited to discuss, freely express themselves, and share their opinions on hot topics or topics directly related to them.
The show often consists of interviews or games, but sometimes only discussion. The host leads debates and conversations. A co-host, known as
Le fou du roi
(English:
the jester
), reacts promptly and spontaneously in a humorous way to the debate.
Political impact
[
edit
]
TLMEP has had a notable effect upon Canada's national politics, as political leaders from outside of Quebec often use the show as a platform for introducing themselves to Quebec voters. Several commentators have suggested that
Jack Layton
's appearances on TLMEP were critical in fostering
his party
's Quebec breakthrough in the
2011 Canadian federal election
.
[1]
Layton's success created an expectation that other leaders would follow in his footsteps: since 2011, every federal party leader except
Stephen Harper
has made an appearance.

Host and co-host
[
edit
]
Since the debut of the show, the host has been
Guy A. Lepage
, a former member of the sketch comedy group
Rock et Belles Oreilles
(RBO) and "the guy" in the sitcom
Un gars, une fille
(English:
A Guy & a Girl
). A guest host is brought in when Lepage is away, although this happens extremely rarely. For example, in the 3 December 2006 edition, Lepage was replaced by
Veronique Cloutier
so Lepage could participate in an interview with RBO about taking the reins of the end-of-year special
Bye Bye
.
The co-host was Dany Turcotte, a former member of the sketch comedy group Groupe sanguin, until 14 February 2021.
After March 2021, the role of co-host has been filled by
Anais Favron
,
Alexandre Barrette
, Virginie Fortin, Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais, MC Gilles, and the occasional return of Dany Turcotte.
