Pierre Brassard

Pierre Brassard, born on April twenty-fourth, nineteen sixty-six, is a prominent French-Canadian actor and television personality, celebrated for his unique blend of comedy and entertainment. With a career that spans various media, he has made a significant mark in the world of radio and television, particularly through his association with CKOI-FM in Montreal.

Brassard is perhaps best known for his audacious phone call hoaxes, which have garnered both attention and controversy. One of the most memorable incidents occurred during the 1993 Montreal Film Festival, where he, disguised as a television reporter, confronted former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The encounter turned chaotic when Trudeau, upon realizing the prank, removed Brassard's fake beard and retaliated with a slap and a kick.

In addition to his radio and prankster career, Brassard showcased his talents in the realm of competitive entertainment. In twenty twenty-one, he participated in 'Chanteurs masqués,' the Quebec adaptation of the popular Masked Singer franchise. Dressed as a speckled trout, he performed Les B.B.'s 'Fais attention' but was unfortunately the second contestant to be eliminated from the show.
