On 26 December 2000, JFL: Gags began airing on French Canadian network Canal D. In the following years, the show was picked up by TVA, CBC and The Comedy Network in Canada, BBC1 in the UK, TF1 in France and ABC and Telemundo in the United States; the Canadian version (unlike the ones produced for ABC) aired in the United States in first-run syndication starting in the fall of 2015. That version is distributed by PPI Partners and is available in both weekday strip and weekend runs.[2]
The series uses a hidden camera format, playing pranks on unsuspecting subjects while hidden cameras capture the subjects' responses; each episode presents multiple gags. While some segments have included brief dialogue, most do not contain any sound or dialogue; the audio is replaced with sound effects, a laugh track, and public domain music.
Most segments are filmed in Montreal, while some have been filmed in Quebec City, Vancouver and Mexico. British and Asian versions have been produced in the UK and Singapore, respectively. In 2011 the show spawned a spinoff, Just Kidding, which consists exclusively of kids playing pranks on adults.
With its silent format and no translation required (outside of gag set-up commentary which is easily localized), Just for Laughs: Gags has been purchased for use in over 100 countries throughout the world as well as in airports and by airlines. Reactions to the gags range from "inane"[3] to cross-culturally funny.[4] The same distributors also distribute Surprise Sur Prise, a similar show.
In March 2011, Just for Laughs Gags entered into a partnership with Montreal-based, entertainment site, Videobash.com[5] and now have their own devoted channel there. (No video has been posted as of this writing.)
In the opening of each prank, the actors introduce how the prank was done and how it will be shown as well. Below, just some few illustrative examples from the thousands of pranks filmed for the 3000+ episodes include:
Just for Laughs is an American sketch comedy show hosted by Rick Miller produced by Dakota Pictures that shows clips from the Canadian version of the show. Good ratings during the summer airings in 2007 and a writer's union strike resulted in ABC adding the show to the network lineup as a mid-season replacement for 2007-2008. It returned to the schedule on 1 January 2008, before being canceled on 12 May 2008. However, on 4 June 2009, it was announced that a third season would begin airing on 21 June 2009.[7] Program Partners brought the show back to the United States for a fourth season beginning in fall 2015; this season aired in first-run syndication.[8]
You know, there's several companies out there that do a really good job of evaluating and rating your workplace operations. I'm talking about companies like the Help Desk Institute, or HDI. The Service Desk Institute, SDI, and the European Contact Center and Customer Service Organization. So what, what do they do? They look at your operations, they look at your security, they look at your culture, your investment in technology, as well as the investment in your people. And I tell you what, if you've not taken advantage of their services, I, I highly encourage you to do so because if you've done that, you've found that these organizations are hopefully identifying some things that you're doing really well and pointing out some things where you need to improve and kind of giving you a pat on the back for the hard work that you're doing with your digital workplace.
Now, three years ago, I can think of, oh, maybe just a couple awards in the Digital Workplace Services area that we had won. But I tell you what, over the last two years, my guest in today's podcast, Patrycja Sobera, the vice President of our Digital Workplace Services delivery, has racked up 11 awards, which I'm, it just blows me away. So I thought it would really be good if I could pin her down for a few minutes and ask her, what is she doing differently in her delivery of digital workplace? And in so doing, maybe she can share some tips for how you might look at improving your digital workplace services as well. So, with that, I wanna say how happy I am to finally be able to sit down with you and have a chat with you. Patrycja, welcome to the podcast.
Wow. Thank you, Weston. Pleasure to be here, actually. And, and thank you for having me, . And listen first, first and foremost. Wow, I don't think anyone has actually listed all these accolades and awards in, in one go like this. So thank you for doing this. It has certainly been, uh, an amazing journey for us, actually. And I think it's been an amazing journey for, for Unisys overall. And whilst of course I want to focus on the end user experience organization and digital workplace, I just want to say that, you know, Unisys as an organization, really for more than wow 150 years now, have been innovating, right? Pushing for that next breakthrough. And whether it's power of quantum computing, whether it's AI-driven data models, a summation, of course, you know, a ton of next-generation technologies we're using to deliver these powerful outcomes for our clients.
Of course, my passion, selfishly, is really firmly in the area of digital workplace. And this is really where I have focused my team's attention on really, in a way moving away from, from the traditional view on delivery and support and that kind of traditional look at attainment of SLAs and KPIs. And I really focused on a different way of thinking, right? The kind of rootless travel, so to speak, in the, in the world of an MSP, which is ultimately how do we improve, how do we help people work and collaborate in a digital workplace, right? And how do we continue to, to evolve our support, to evolve our delivery capability. So it really enables that collaboration, so it enables that improvement. So there you go. Here we are.
Well, Patrycja, I know you asked me not to do this, but there's one other award I was gonna mention as well. The ISG just recently had their Women in Digital Award and they granted you the top award, the Titan Award. So congratulations on that. I think it also plays a little bit in here what we're gonna talk about. I know, of course you hate the spotlight on you. We're gonna focus on the team so we'll do that here. So I think, first of all, let's get back on track with the team here. I'd like to ask you what's different about what you're doing in delivering digital workplace services.
Thank you. And very naughty, by the way, mentioning Digital Titan , but thank you. Very humbling at the same time, so appreciate it. What's different? Well, you know what, I just wanna start by saying that I feel so privileged and so lucky to live in this era of this unprecedented technological change. And I personally feel that this is also a period where technology alone is not enough to make a difference. It's really not enough to, to meet the demands of our clients, to, to really help them with their challenges and the requirements. And for me, this is where the opportunity has been for us to approach support from a completely different lens and again, move away from the traditional support focus. And in fact, the last couple, well, two and a half years now, actually two and a half years at Unisys, have really been focused on, on the transformation of our digital workplace delivery model. And if I had to put this transformation down, two absolutely essential things, you know, two really essential success factors, I would say experience and culture. There's probably a third one actually, , there's probably a third one. But I think that might be, uh, enough of a conversation for a next get -together, which is probably more around that change-focused leadership. But yeah, let's focus on experience and culture. 'cause I really think that these are the two essential success factors.
Let's do that. And I think let's focus first on experience. And that is a topic that our listeners have found is one that we come back to over and over again, employee experience. But I think you're gonna help us see how that's connecting with customer experience, I think. Can you explain a little bit about what you mean by, you know, from your point of view, the digital workplace, uh, what is experience?
Absolutely. Yeah. So listen, for me, it's quite simple and it actually starts with XLA, you know, we don't just walk and meet with our clients and ask, Hey, what type of service you need? Right? We, we completely put that aside. And first and foremost, we focus on what our clients actually do. What are their business goals? What are they trying to accomplish as a business? And then of course, who are the key personas who are essential to the success of these goals? And once we have that in place, we identify how our services can best support the achievement of those goals. And of course, you know, most importantly, guide them through the formation of XLAs relevant to this client, to their business objectives, right? But, there is a but. There is a lot of talk in the industry about XLA. Mm-hmm, , and from my perspective, XLAs alone are really not enough. They cannot really deliver their full value if you have no one looking at the data insights without a team, a team of people who can look at the, the data and translate the data into actionable deliverables. At the end of the day, it's just data without that kind of, so what? And this is actually where our experience management office comes in. I think for me, that's the secret sauce, the team that really is at the helm of transforming insights versus action.
Well, I would love to have you give some examples because, you know, in this podcast, you know, if you listen to it over the, the months and years, we've talked a lot about the theory of XLAs and XMOs more recently, but nothing is like hearing how it actually, you know, where the rubber hits the road, what works and what doesn't. So yeah, please give us a couple of examples.
