Prime Video Announces Patrick Huard as Host of "LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier?," the Quebec Edition of the Global Amazon Original Hit Format "LOL: Last One Laughing"

The series will film in Montreal and feature an all-French-speaking cast

The series will launch in 2022 and be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide

TORONTO - March 15, 2022 - Following the success of LOL: Last One Laughing Canada, Prime Video today announced that stand-up comedian, actor, writer, director, and producer Patrick Huard (Bon Cop Bad Cop, Starbuck) will be the host of Canadian Amazon Original series LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier?, the Quebec version of the global hit comedy format. Produced by Attraction, it will be shot in Montreal and feature a cast of popular French-speaking comedic actors and stand-ups competing to make each other laugh first. LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier? will be available exclusively on Prime Video in 240 countries and territories worldwide.

"I am so excited to be hosting LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier? - I know that many people fantasize about seeing what happens when 10 comedians are trapped together in the same room. It's happened to me many times and things usually spiral quite quickly!" said Patrick Huard. "You know that comedians revel in making people laugh, but what you probably don't know is that they are often big fans of other comedians and it's torture for them not to laugh. I am also very happy to be hosting, because I would have no chance of lasting even 10 minutes! Especially with this group of comedians who accepted the challenge. It's sure to be madness!"

The Amazon Original series will use dozens of cameras to catch all of the hilarious action during the unpredictable six-hour competition, and follow a select group of established comedy stars and up-and-coming talent who bring various styles to the table, including stand-up, character, improvisational, and physical comedy.

"Quebec has a reputation as a leader in comedy, with the world's largest international comedy festival and comedians playing in front of sold-out crowds across the province," said James Farrell, head of local Originals, Amazon Studios. "In addition to that reputation, having a host the calibre of Patrick Huard - who is not only a celebrated actor and director but also a beloved comedian - means all the pieces are in place for another hilarious version of LOL: Last One Laughing for Quebec."

LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier? is the latest adaptation of Documental, the successful Japanese Amazon Original series created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo, where Matsumoto leads 10 comedians in an anything-goes "battle of laughter behind closed doors." The fan-favourite format includes local versions in Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Germany, Italy, France, India, and Spain. Local celebrity hosts include Jay Baruchel, Eugenio Derbez, Fedez, Michael "Bully" Herbig, and Rebel Wilson. 

LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier? comes from Amazon Studios, produced in association with Attraction.
