Canal+
New comedy show
Jean Dujardin, Guillaume Canet and Gilles Lellouche will be presenting an exceptional live comedy show designed especially for Canal+. Le débarquement is inspired by the US show Saturday Night Live, which offers a series of sketches by troupe performers and guests. The show will feature special appearances by seasoned performers while giving promising newcomers a chance to shine. Canal+ confirms that this will be “a place for artistic freedom,” with “sketches, portraits, self-mockery, fresh comedic combinations, free expression and both comical and absurd situations.” If the concept wins over television viewers, the experience may be repeated.
