José Gaudet leaves the popular talk show after nine years of co-hosting with Julie Bélanger. “I’m leaving because I want to experience something else,” he explains. A special program celebrating his departure will be presented Friday on TVA.
“I’m closing this door with the idea of opening others,” José Gaudet told the Journal a week before this announcement kept secret. If my instinct tells me to go behind the door, even if I don’t know what’s behind it, I feel like going. It is a decision that comes from the heart. »
He explains that after nine years in the chair of the interviewer, he needed to find that of the guest artist, just as he wants to find the comedian.
“I leave in peace, adds the one who has been procrastinating since the holidays. Obviously, at 51, you have the right to ask yourself: “Is this my last official television contract?” this scope. But I am at peace with my decision. »
It is not because he has a new concrete project to announce that José Gaudet is leaving television. Rather to take the time to think about what he would like to do. “Right now, in my heart, I hope it’s going to be used in humor, but I don’t know what yet. »
It was his return to the radio that rekindled the flame of humor in him. “There is a volcano that has been on since the fall and that I was not able to extinguish, confides the one who delivered 15,000 sketches with Mario Tessier and Les Grandes Gueules. I challenged myself. »
In the meantime, he continued his work with Sam Breton, Alex Roy and Lise Dion, in addition to pursuing projects with Ève Côté. Several of them will be part of the last show on Friday evening.
“We laughed, we cried. I became the guest, it was a complete surprise. Patrice Michaud came to sing a song with a text adapted for me. It was a lot of emotions and beautiful memories of the last nine years. »
