Julie Snyder is a fixture on big-budget French-Canadian TV. She owns a production company and has hosted tons of high-profile shows, including
Le Banquier, the French version of
Deal or No Deal. She is also a close friend of Céline Dion, who seems to appear on Julie's shows every time Céline's career marks a milestone.
This fall, Céline will take over Julie's reins at the helm of
Le Banquier. (Holy mixed metaphors, Batman!) As part of a celebrity birthday series titled
Surprise Party:
- Céline will host,
- Julie will play, and receive offers from...
- ...the banquer -- Céline's husband and manager, René Angelil!
We already know Céline's passion for game shows -- she watches
The Price is Right and appeared on
Deal's video screen to sing and cheer a contestant along. This show should be a hoot! I'll try to put it up on Bittorrent, but no promises.
