In less than ten years, French-Canadian Maripier Morin has imposed herself as one of Canada’s fastest rising stars. With an enviable career as one of Quebec’s top TV hosts, she does not shy away from any new opportunity to widen her audience and show everyone her seemingly endless set of skills.
In 2006, Maripier was first discovered by the public when she took part in a very successful reality TV from Quebec: Occupation Double. Little than a year later, she was offered her first contract in television. She was then selected as one of the beauties for the French version of Deal or No Deal. A position she took advantage of. Her wit, her energy, and her irreproachable style are the keyelements that led her toreach, so quickly, such an enviable status within the artistic community. At the dawn of her thirties, Maripier can be proud of having been at the forefront of several variety shows on the biggest television networks. She was able to perfect her natural talent for animation in, Un gars le Soir, District V, Ça commence Bien, Faites Comme Chez Vous, 99 envies d’évasion, and addressing teenagers in Code F.
She is currently co-hosting La Voix Junior on TVA network, a spinoff of the popular TV contest The Voice. She says she learned a lot during those pivotal years, evolving with different groups of reputed professionals. In the spring of 2016, she finally realized her dream to host her own late night talk show with Maripier!, the flagship program of CanalZ. With the second season currently on the air, she can probably say: dream come true! In the last 3 years, Maripier has taken part in the hosting team for the radio show Eric et Fantastiques, the top afternoon-drive show in the province of Quebec. Recently married to the professional hockey player Brandon Prust, Maripier was chosen to “spice up” to the group of girls starring in the documentary show Hockey Wives on W Network. She is the only recurrent cast member of the first 3 seasons. It accommodates her “not-so-secret” desire to work one day as a pan-Canadian host on an English-speaking network. Her Youtube Channel Pardon my French, is just another opportunity for her to target this vast audience. What people like about Maripier Morin is the fact that she is accessible and fundamentally down to earth. Her genuine sense humor makes her all the more engaging. She is passionate about music, cinema, and the arts. She is widely perceived as a “woman about town”, that is translated in her unmistakable style. She is also the spokesperson of the Foundation of Stars, where she is implicated with kids who have untreatable diseases.
In 2018, Maripier will align herself with the long tradition of high-profile game-show hosts in the province of Quebec by hosting the French-Canadian version of The Wall: Face au Mur. A show that is perfectly suited for her innate sense of empathy and her playfulness. She will also star as the lead actress in Le Triomphe de l’Argent, her first major role on the silver screen. The highly anticipated movie is directed by Oscar-winner Deny Arcand. With Maripier Morin, the answer to the question: “what’s next?” is always unexpected and fascinating.
