On the night of December 31, 2024, Bye Bye 2024 aired on ICI Télé, offering a comedic look back at the year with numerous surprise appearances, hilarious sketches, and parodies that captured the political, social, and cultural events that defined the year. The show, known for its humorous commentary, was filled with a rich blend of satire, guest appearances, and unforgettable moments.
Among the surprise guests making an appearance were popular personalities such as Richard Martineau, Boom Desjardins, and Patrice Bélanger. They added a touch of humor to the festive night, appearing in various sketches and leaving viewers laughing. One of the most memorable moments was when the comedic troupe Les Appendices took the stage, parodying Quebec's political leaders. Sonia Cordeau stepped into the shoes of Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, while Anne-Élisabeth Bossé took on the role of Éric Duhaime, poking fun at the political landscape of the year.
Musical performances also played a prominent role in this year's Bye Bye . Arnaud Soly, Julien Corriveau, and Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais delivered a lively number that reflected on the spectacular 2024 solar eclipse. Their comedic performances didn’t stop there; they also took playful jabs at journalists like Charles Tisseyre and comedian Katherine Levac, who made brief appearances.

The evening wasn’t short on political humor either. A playful sketch about Pierre Fitzgibbon, portrayed by Sylvain Marcel, saw the former politician at a casino, engaging in risky bets with taxpayer money—a nod to the political controversies of the past year. Another memorable moment featured a guessing game, where Pierre Poilievre, played by Guylaine Tremblay, humorously kept guessing "Justin Trudeau" for every famous name in the game. Trudeau, played by Simon-Olivier Fecteau, was also a target in a Survivor -style parody, reflecting the growing critiques within his own Liberal Party.
As always, Bye Bye 2024 couldn’t resist poking fun at popular television and cultural events. In one sketch, the show parodied the popular cooking competition Les Chefs! , imagining political leaders as contestants, with challenges ranging from language barriers to awkward cooking mishaps. The nostalgia lovers were treated to a hilarious parody of the 1990s show Watatatow , reimagined as WataBedford , which humorously addressed issues like religious control in schools and modern controversies in education.
The show also didn’t shy away from referencing the political, social, and international issues that dominated headlines. One memorable sketch made fun of the scandal surrounding the airline Boeing, while other segments delved into the year’s global crises and political upheavals. This timely humor was appreciated by viewers, as the Bye Bye cast skillfully navigated sensitive topics with wit and insight.
The night concluded with a comedic look back at the year’s pop culture moments, with a humorous musical performance by the metal band Voivod, putting their own spin on the classic Pourquoi le monde est sans amour by Mireille Mathieu.
