La Fureur (Canadian game show)
La Fureur is a French-language Canadian game show that was broadcast live on the Radio-Canada television network from 1998 to 2007. It was based on the game show of the same name that was televised in France. As with the original version, the program featured two gender-segregated teams of celebrities answering questions and completing stunts pertaining to music. In addition, each episode had a special musical guest from the Québécois or international music scene, such as Annie Brocoli, Nana Mouskouri, Celine Dion and Ricky Martin, among others. All songs on the program were accompanied by karaoke-style on-screen lyrics, enabling viewers to sing along at home.
