The duet

They then decide to work together as of the year 1992. Their emission Rock' N roll circus is a success and Jean-Luc Delarue then proposes to them to work with him in several emissions, in particular Déjà Sunday where they parodied politicians with small figurines. The public discovers them then on TV.

In 1998, a series of their creation, the 30 last minutes is diffused weekly (and with a very late schedule) on France 2.

Of 1999 with 2001, Kad and O present the Large Emission on the chain Comédie!. They will work then on Canal+ where they will make many appearances in Sketch S and will present in 2003 and 2004 the emission Saturday evening on line (French version of Saturday Night Live diffused on NBC). The duet also appears in several films such as Beuze or Only of happiness . They are said different and complementary, and in spite of the hundreds of sketch which they have Co-writings, of which series of Kamoulox celebrates it, they do not think of separating.

In 2003, they hold the high-speed motorboat in the film But which killed Pamela Rose? , a pastiche of police film which gathers sketches that they improvised ten years ago, whereas they still officiated with the radio. They play the inefficient police officers Bullit and Riper which inquires into the murder of a stripper: Pamela Rose.
