Self-nicknamed Le Gros Cave (French for fat dumbass) he gained recognition through TV show appearances in The Mike Ward Show in the early 2000s, where he played a recurring character known as 'The Frustrated Guy'. Mercier later had his own one-man show, appeared several times at Montreal's French comedy festival Just For Laughs and was one of the screenwriters of TV show Les Bougon. Starting in 2010, he hosted his late-night talk showUn gars le soir (One guy at night) at V. In the late 1990s, he was hired as an actor in the short-lived tabloid talk showBlack out, where he appeared as a common man in the audience trying to spark controversy.[1]
