The expectation was maximum for the reappearance of Jorge Javier Vázquez on television after several months of absence. Everything was prepared this Monday for his Cuentos Chinos to break into Telecinco to compete against El Hormiguero Antena 3 Televisión.
Even the Catalan presenter sent a letter to Pablo Motos where he introduced himself and threw the occasional funny barb at him. However, the fact that Vázquez was the first guest of the night did not please the viewers. In fact, such has been the setback that Motos has doubled it in audience.
"On May 18, I ended up in the emergency room with a surge in blood pressure and I realized that a moment had arrived when I couldn't continue pulling myself along," Jorge Javier Vázquez began explaining at the beginning of his Cuentos Chinos in front of his new collaborator. Susi Caramel.
It was not the only confession of the Telecinco presenter, at another certain moment, he also launched a dig at Ana Rosa Quintana, about which he said he was not prepared to return to the "scene of the crime." And it seems that for Jorge Javier, Usera's had something to do with his temporary departure from television.
However, the program did not like as many expected. This is supported by the hearings held this Tuesday. Cuentos Chinos achieved 9.4% with only 1,240,000 viewers. In fact, this first program was even below the channel's daily average, which is 9.9%.
For its part, El Hormiguero reached 19.1% with 2,488,000 viewers, which means it doubled the screen share of Jorge Javier Vázquez's program. As for the premiere of El Conquistador, it scored 11.9% with 1,048,000 viewers.
Despite the very poor figures of Cuentos Chinos, Jorge Javier Vázquez has taken the figure with sportsmanship and a lot of humor. So much so that a few minutes ago he published a message on his social networks:
"Let's see, yesterday I took roll call and the truth is that hundreds of you were missing. Hundreds of thousands, I mean. So spread the word. To those who were there, at your feet. Eternal thanks always. Today is also today again. Always is today". And, that's right, this Tuesday Vázquez returns with his Cuentos Chinos. Upgrade to?
