The last time that an argument in the public square caused so much ink to flow was when Michèle Richard and Serge Laprade experienced the Garden Party Gate: “I’m the queen of TQS!”
The dispute is between the king of Sunday evening and the former jester of the king. Dany Turcotte and Guy A. Lepage washed their dirty laundry with their family at Everyone is talking about it last Sunday. But the more I read about this story, the more I see how out of touch Dany Turcotte is!
THE PIERRY OF THE RICH
Personally, I am “Team Guy A.” Lepage is right to have found it ordinary that Dany Turcotte would wait to write a book to say how unhappy he was in the last months of TLMEP.
If Turcotte was so mistreated by “the core” of the team, he just had to say so. In the face. Eye to eye. Like a man. Do you have a problem with Guy A. or with the producer Guillaume Lspérance? You fucking talk to them! The show is still called well Everyone is TALKING about it!
We’re talking here about a comedian paid handsomely with public funds to appear at the start of a show watched by a million people and to give the guests a little card, written with the collaboration of a writer! We agree that there are jobs a lot more demanding than that in the Artists’ Union directory! And Dany complains that he was confused when he was told that he would no longer give his guests a little card? Hello? Privileged problems!
Turcotte dares to tell us that he found himself abandoned by the team… even though there were seven researchers (SEVEN!!!) who worked to prepare Guy A. Lepage’s interviews and he had access to all their research reports. Misery! Dany Turcotte should not look at how we work in the private sector: imagine, we sometimes have a researcher who works on several programs at the same time. And animators who even do research themselves! And facilitators who think of questions themselves that have not been written in advance!
We think about our own questions when we listen to the people in front of us! It’s a revolutionary concept, it’s called animating, damn it!
Coudonc, a little more and it is he who would have done the Dominique Lévesque sketch “The Tired Guy”. Give him some vitamins, someone, he shouldn’t wear himself out on the task.
THE DROP THAT MAKES THE VASE OVERFLOW
But wait, that’s not all. Dany Turcotte says he asked the team to TLMEP to be able to ask a question per interview… and that he wanted the research team to write the question to him.
Ayoye! He wasn’t able to think of questions for himself? He needed the help of seven (SEVEN!!!!!) researchers to react to a guest’s comments?
Poor Dany, her request to ask “a-question-written-by-a-team-of-seven-researchers” was refused. Let’s start a “GoFundMe” to support this poor madman who has been denied the possibility of having a livelihood worthy of the name.
No, but what planet do they live on in the state corporation?
