Peter MacLeod

What to expect: interviews, musical performances, a fierce band, surprising stories and most of all, guests who are more than happy to play along and follow Éric Salvail on his beautifully crazy tangents!

An original talk show is set in Patrick’s warm and cozy apartment, where he welcomes friends and guests every day to discuss the latest hot topics that affect our lives. The show also features Patrick’s fictional neighbours.

Presented in the form of a large live set, the hosts enlightening interviews with personalities from all walks of life who have made their mark in the news.

Three personalities compete to win the title of best guest of the evening. Antoine Vézina is the judge responsible for awarding players points that will designate a winner. The competitors make fun of the codes behind conventional talk shows during interviews, and take part in various challenges.

Peter MacLeod tries to bring out the “coureur des bois” in his guests. In each episode, MacLeod hosts two Quebec artists in his isolated cabin, deep in the forest. The challenge for guests is to maintain their composure in spite of the surprises in store for them, including intense initiations to the so-called joys of nature and other unusual pranks and activities.

Francis Bouillon, former defenseman of the Montreal Canadiens, is the expedition leader who makes famous personalities live through survival experiences. Over a period of up to 48 hours, guests are placed in a perilous situation inspired by actual events.

Private detective Annie Richard takes celebrities into the troubling past of their neighbourhood. In each episode, she reveals to her guest the story of a place of their own: their current residence, their childhood home, their high school.

In each episode, four strangers join forces to give unanimous answers to general knowledge questions. The longer the team takes to respond, the lower the cash prize. At the end of each episode, the participants must also divide the accumulated money into three unequal shares, again unanimously. To pocket as much money as possible, players have to be as convincing as they are clever, because every second counts!

Four Anglo-Canadians and a New Yorker find themselves in a two-week long total French immersion program in the fictional, remote town of St-Isidore-du-Coeur-de-Jésus, tucked away somewhere in Northern Quebec. The place is perfect for total immersion since, according to the most recent census, 99% of the population is comprised of pure laine Quebeckers for the most part unilingual French, fervently nationalist, and all, save one person, named Tremblay.
