Le nouveau show is a Canadian sketch comedy series, which premiered as a web series on TOU.TV in 2015 before airing on ICI ARTV and Ici Radio-Canada Télé in 2016.[1] The series was created by the same cast and crew who had previously created SNL Québec, after that show was cancelled by Télé-Québec earlier in 2015.[2]
The show's core cast members are Katherine Levac, Virginie Fortin, Léane Labrèche-Dor, Pier-Luc Funk, Mathieu Quesnel, Guillaume Girard, Mickaël Gouin and Phil Roy.[3] Where SNL Québec had been created as a local adaptation of Saturday Night Live, Le nouveau show dropped SNL-related elements such as guest hosts, musical performers and Les nouvelles SNL, instead restricting itself to a straight sketch comedy troupe format.[3]
