Frank Blanco's departure to Telecinco to present TardeAR on Fridays left an important gap in the television schedule of La Sexta. The Atresmedia network was left without one of its best-known faces, who earned a place in the channel's imagination by presenting Zapeando. Since his goodbye, Dani Mateo has been in charge of replacing him, but the former collaborator of I know what you did is not exempt from unexpected absences either.
The comedian from Barcelona did not go to his position on the San Sebastián de los Reyes set last Friday, giving way to a substitution that is now common among his collaborators. Several have been in charge of making a place for themselves in the main chair, from Lorena Castell to María Gómez, through Quique Peinado and Valeria Ros, who was in charge of replacing him last week. This Monday and Tuesday, it was Miki Nadal's turn.
“Today, as you can see, I present, I don't know why, because any of my colleagues can do it much better than me because they have more qualities,” expressed the former member of SLQH, eliciting some laughter from the audience present. “Now that's true, I have something that you don't have, which is money to buy the director's will. You know, if you want to succeed, save,” he added.
“I don't know what you're doing here, you're the one with the most money, we need to present for the money,” one of the members of the table, Torito, pointed out. “When I present I lose money, I earn more as a collaborator,” he insisted. Despite the good atmosphere, the question of Mateo's whereabouts has raised some questions among social media users. A doubt that El Televisero has been in charge of clarifying.
According to the portal integrated into The Huffington Post, Dani Mateo has been absent in Zapeando for the last few days due to a “non-serious personal problem.” His departure also coincides with the anniversary of another laSexta program in which he also collaborates: El Intermedio. The space presented by El Gran Wyoming will celebrate the 18th anniversary of the green chain this coming Thursday, with a special from El Florida Park in Madrid.
A celebration that is accompanied by another special, in this case from laSexta Columna, and a change of image. “18 years… and we are still very green,” states the Atresmedia channel in its new promotional videos, with a more stylized number 6 and without segments, as could be seen in previous logos. laSexta has been part of a joint group with Antena 3 since 2013, consolidating itself as the third private channel in Spain.
