PATRICE BÉLANGER WILL HOST SURVIVOR QUÉBEC ON NOOVO

The Quebec adaptation of the worldwide success is looking for participants to fly to the Philippines!

Productions J and Bell Media are pleased and proud to announce the arrival of Patrice Bélanger at the helm of the spring reality show SURVIVOR QUEBEC on Noovo. Patrice Bélanger has been a fixture in the daily lives of Quebecers for more than 15 years, drawing on his extensive experience as a radio and television host. An empathetic host who listens to others, he was an obvious choice for this mandate: his intelligence, rigor and unrivalled knowledge of the Survivor format put him in a class of his own. Ready to surpass himself and show a side of himself that the public has never seen before, Patrice is the perfect choice to host this legendary competition. Survivor, a Banijay format created by Charlie Parsons, is one of the most watched reality shows in the world and has been successfully adapted in over 50 regions. “It’s an exceptional opportunity for me to begin this new adventure as host of SURVIVOR QUÉBEC,” said Patrice Bélanger. “Survivor has been part of our lives for a long time. It’s a must-see event for my family and I, who have been systematically riveted in front of our screens for years. It’s literally a dream come true to be able to host the Quebec adaptation of this international hit. I’d like to thank Bell Media and Productions J for giving me this opportunity, and I look forward to seeing viewers this spring on Noovo!

SURVIVOR QUÉBEC features male and female participants attempting to survive on a desert island in the heart of the Philippines. Completely isolated from civilization and far from all comforts, they’ll have to survive the elements and fight hunger, while surpassing themselves in extreme challenges that will test their endurance and physical fitness. Thanks to their strategic thinking and mental strength, they’ll have to survive eliminations right to the very end in order to claim the grand prize of $100,000. “Survivor is one of the world’s most successful television shows, and we can’t wait to see this new adaptation land on Noovo this spring, with a fantastic host in Patrice Bélanger,” said Jane Rimer, SVP Canada, Banijay Rights. “We’re thrilled to once again be working with our partners at Bell Media on this exceptional new version, which is sure to make a strong impression on Quebec viewers from the very first show.” REGISTER NOW

THE PRECIOUS COLLABORATION OF JEAN-THOMAS JOBIN
Since the arrival of SURVIVOR QUÉBEC in the Bell Media portfolio, the Productions J teams have been able to count on a major ally: Jean-Thomas Jobin. An undisputed fan of the series and a seasoned expert on this reality show, he will also be present on set to support the production team. Viewers will also be able to catch up with him on air during a weekly program, when he and his studio guests will comment on the highlights of the week’s episodes. It’s the perfect appointment for fans of the show, like Jean-Thomas! “I still can’t believe that Survivor has finally been adapted for Quebec! I was involved in the project from the start, but I thought it would be impossible. During filming, I’ll do my best to humbly help the production make the best possible adaptation. As for the analysis show I’ll be hosting, we’ll have fun dissecting the game while infusing it with some form of pedagogy. I can’t wait,” says Jean-Thomas Jobin. Produced by Productions J in collaboration with Bell Media, Survivor is distributed by Banijay in over 50 regions. Survivor is one of the greatest television phenomena of the past 25 years, and is recognized as the flagship show that propelled reality TV around the world. Patrice Bélanger will give his first interview, in connection with this project, on LA SEMAINE DES 4 JULIE, tonight at 9:00 p.m.

See you on Noovo this spring!
