GAGNER (To win; vt -ER reg conj)

AThe lady in this video is actually a male actor, Joseph Gorgoni, playing the role of middle aged “Marie-Thérèse Porchet“. The character gained fame from a Swiss theater piece entitled “Marie-Therese Porchet, Nee Bertholet, La Truie Est En Moi (1996)“. Later, the show gained popularity in France as well. The character became so popular that she made several appearances separate from the original show, such as in this video clip for Loto Swiss. She even has her own Youtube channel.
