André Robitaille

No challenge is too great for this multitalented man, a graduate of the École Nationale de Théâtre in 1989, who shines equally in acting, directing, hosting, and comedy.

A standout contributor to the shows 100 Limite and Bons baisers de France, André Robitaille is also a formidable host, captivating both young audiences (Vazimolo) and adults alike with shows such as Les mordus, Les forges du désert, C’est juste de la TV (2007–2013), Testé sur des humains, Entrée principale, Bien Bâti, not to mention Les Enfants de la TV (since fall 2014) and La revue culturelle (since 2016). In recent years, he has also hosted several documentaries: Jean-Pierre Ferland, La vie devant moi, Janine Sutto, Dominique Michel, Béatrice Picard, Antonine Maillet, Patsy Gallant, and Ginette Reno.

A sharp and dynamic master of ceremonies, he has led numerous game shows and hosted the Gémeaux Awards gala in 2007. As an actor, he has stood out in youth series such as Les intrépides and Tactik, as well as in dramas like Bombardier, Le retour, Rue L’Espérance, Hommes en quarantaine, 30 vies, and Fugueuse. He also appeared in the series Pour toi Flora and À cœur battant.

A regular on stage, he has made his mark in theatre, participating in over twenty major productions as an actor and directing several comedies. He has also played leading roles in films such as The Age of Ignorance by Denys Arcand and Bon Cop, Bad Cop by Érik Canuel, and appeared in Roméo et Juliette, Monsieur Lazhar, and L’enfant prodige.

His natural ease as a host also led him to radio, where he hosted Les midis fous and Y’é trop d’bonne heure on CKOI in the 1990s, followed by Tout l’monde debout! on Rock Détente from 2005 to 2007.

His excellence as a host has earned him five MetroStar Awards and eight Gémeaux Awards over the years.
