The Mammoth 2022 evening: Félix-Antoine Tremblay still challenged by young people

Last year, Félix-Antoine Tremblay won a Mammoth award for helping to promote body diversity. This year, he is preparing to return to the stage of the popular Télé-Québec gala for young people, as he is one of the 10 hosts of Mammoth evening 2022 which will be presented on December 9.

In TV like Mammoth, in fiction TV, there have been movements that have resulted in raising issues or social issues among young people that are very important, that are at the heart of their priorities. »
