Le nouveau show is a Canadian sketch comedy series, which premiered as a web series on TOU.TV in 2015 before airing on ICI ARTV and Ici Radio-Canada Télé in 2016.[1] The series was created by the same cast and crew who had previously created SNL Québec, after that show was cancelled by Télé-Québec earlier in 2015.[2]
