Gérard D. Laflaque made his television debut in the early 1980s as a latex puppet, but was eventually created using CGI animation.
A caricature of reporter Louise Cousineau joined the cast as a recurring character who owns a corner store.
Laflaque regularly welcomed all kinds of guests, mostly caricatures of politicians including Paul Martin, Jean Charest, Stephen Harper, Gilles Duceppe, Jacques Parizeau, André Boisclair, George W. Bush, Guy Bertrand, Mario Dumont, Pauline Marois, Stéphane Dion, Michael Ignatieff, Jack Layton, Nicolas Sarkozy, Régis Labeaume and Denis Coderre.
Journalist Christopher Hall made regular appearances to deliver reports and ask ridiculous questions to people in the streets until the end of Season 3.
Sometimes, segments unrelated to the news appeared in the "current affairs" part of the show, such as a cooking segment, the "Petit Laflaque Illustre," which explains an everyday object in a ridiculous way and "Stade Trek," a Star Trek parody featuring the former political leaders cruising around the galaxy in Montreal's Olympic Stadium.
