The well-known duo of Sebastien Trudel and Marc-Antoine Audette...

If they really were "well-known" then this schtick wouldn't succeed as often as it does.

I heard a tape of a similar scam pulled by a pair of Miami radio personalities. They called Venezualan dictator Hugo Chavez & had him conviced he was speaking with Fidel Castro. It was pretty funny.

It works if you can convince the other person they're speaking with someone famous.

They’re well-known but notice that their targets never listen to Quebec radio. That’s the key to an effective phone prank- always call someone who’s never heard of you.
