Sophie Fouron’s Unforgettable and Bloody “Bonsoir bonsoir!” Debut

So, picture this — it’s Sophie Fouron’s very first night hosting Bonsoir bonsoir! live. The countdown is on, the studio is buzzing, she’s seconds away from stepping into Jean-Sébastien Girard’s chair. And then… she trips. Not just a little stumble either — she catches her foot on the teleprompter, and without even realizing it, she slices open her left leg.

Now here’s where it gets wild — the show goes on. Sophie’s leg is bleeding between her knee and ankle, but thanks to the long, flowing red dress she chose that night, nobody in the audience or at home could see a thing. She sits down, smiles, and interviews actress Édith Cochrane like nothing happened. She later joked to La Presse , “It wasn’t a baptism by fire… it was a baptism by blood.”

During the first commercial break, she finally lifts her dress so someone can slap on a bandage — and discovers a much bigger wound than she expected. Blood had been running down her leg the whole time. The studio crew and audience members who caught a glimpse got a bit of a scare. Sophie, though, stayed upbeat, pointing out how lucky she was to have worn a long dress. If it had been pants, the blood might have soaked through. If it had been short, well, the cameras would have caught the drama live.

This was no ordinary hosting gig either. Sophie was stepping into a seat that’s been a bit of a revolving door this season. First, Jean-Philippe Wauthier stepped away for health reasons. Marie-Claude Barrette took over but later left due to other commitments. Jean-Sébastien Girard then picked up the torch — until he took a vacation, making Sophie the “replacement of the replacement.” She’ll be hosting until August 21 before Girard returns to finish the season.

Viewers, though, seemed to love her first outing, bloody leg and all. Comments on the show’s Facebook page called her “pétillante” — bubbly, natural, intelligent, and able to put her guests at ease. Some noted she seemed a bit loud, maybe from nerves, but praised her warmth and quick wit. Others said she was a “great discovery” for this type of program.

So, in just one night, Sophie Fouron managed to prove she could handle live TV pressure, charm audiences, and do it all while secretly bleeding through an entire interview. If that’s not making an entrance, I don’t know what is.
