La Poule aux oeufs d'or

La Poule aux oeufs d'or is the title of two different Canadian television game shows broadcast during two different periods. The first was broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's French-language television network, Radio-Canada, from 1958 until 1966 and hosted by Roger Baulu, accompanied,at first, by René Caron, and then by Henri Bergeron and by two hostesses. Two contestants had to respond to five questions, each one being worth a certain amount of money. The winner then had to choose at random an envelope containing a prize that was worth less than, equal to, or greater than the winnings already accumulated. With these total winnings, the contestant can buy an egg, chosen at random, containing a prize. There are two possible outcomes: either she/he loses everything, or she/he wins a prize of high value. The second version has been broadcast on the TVA Network, Wednesdays at 7:30pm since September 8, 1993. It is a Loto-Québec game, and has been hosted by Guy Mongrain since inception, with Yves Corbeil and Gino Chouinard substituting for Guy when he's been away, and assisted by Claudia Ébacher and Anouk Meunier.
