Alain Chabat helped define French absurdist comedy as co-writer and lead actor of La Cité de la peur (1994) with the sketch group Les Nuls, then created and hosted Burger Quiz, which became the most-watched entertainment show in French television history. As a filmmaker he both writes and stars in his own comedies, including the Asterix & Obelix adaptation Mission Cleopatra (2002) and Houba! On the Trail of the Marsupilami (2012), and he voiced Shrek in the character's French-language dubs.
