Jean-Philippe Dion spent the weekend overseeing all the last-minute details surrounding the first variety of the 2025 season of Star Academy. But the more the current week progresses, the more he will abandon his hat of executive producer for that of host, a dream coming true for him who has done everything behind the scenes of the show.

“I have done varieties in every possible way since the beginning of Star Academyholding the boxes of the host or as a content producer or as an executive producer, so I was very intimidated to have the big box here at Mels now that I host. My brain hasn’t yet triggered host mode because it’s the producer who, until now, is leading the team to sort everything out before it starts. I want the show be ready, and once I feel that everything is clear, it’s fun who is going to board.”

“My biggest stress is that everyone arrives at the same place and at the same time. “That the Academy is ready, that the decor is ready, that the content of the entire season is ready, because once it starts, we deliver the equivalent of a gala per week,” he continued.
“I am feverish and excited, I work with a team of friends, people with whom I have been collaborating for a long time, several people around me also animate, so everyone understands the job of animator. I really have a great team,” added Jean-Philippe Dion.
The variety of Star Academy will be presented on TVA from 7 p.m. starting January 19. The daily will follow on weekdays at 7:30 p.m. Starting tonight, a special week, called On the way to Star Academyallows you to meet the 18 aspiring Academicians.
