La Fin du monde est à 7 heures ("The end of the world is at 7 o'clock") was a Quebec television comedy series, which aired on TQS from 1997 to 2000. The show was originally broadcast daily at 7 p.m., but was later moved to the 6 p.m. slot and ended its run in the 10 p.m. slot, with no name change. Although literally a reference to the program's original time slot, the title was also a pun; in spoken Quebec French, the pronunciation of à sept heures is virtually indistinguishable from à cette heure ("at this time" or "right now").
Hosted by Marc Labrèche, the program was a satirical take on news and current affairs. Similar in style to the English Canadian series This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the show mixed a mock newscast with satirical sketch comedy segments.
In addition to Labrèche, other personalities associated with the show include Jean-René Dufort, Manuel Foglia, Patrick Masbourian, Isabelle Maréchal, Paul Houde and Bruno Blanchet. The opening and closing music was the eponym song composed by Jean Leloup.
