The imitation of Ábalos by Carlos Latre in 'El Hormiguero' receives many praises: "Sublime"

Everyone knows that Carlos Latre is a master of imitation, but the comedian managed to surpass himself last Wednesday, February 28, by getting into the shoes of one of the great protagonists of current news at the national level: José Luis Ábalos .

The unexpected departure of the politician from the socialist group puts him at the center of the controversy, and the comedian was encouraged to imitate him for his collaboration in El Hormiguero, right after the interview with the pilots Marc and Álex Márquez, and with results that have become the idol of the night for the audience.

Latre appeared dressed as Ábalos and displayed an astonishing resemblance, so his imitation only resonated even deeper among the program's viewers. Latre-Ábalos appeared on set warning "don't touch me" and with a red checkered blanket, surprising both the Valencian presenter and the Márquez brothers.

"Has Sánchez called you?" Motos continued inquiring. "Call me, he hasn't called me, but he left me a message: 'José Luis, it's nothing personal, but don't ever call me again in your life,'" the fake Ábalos responded, even imitating Pedro Sánchez's voice.

The fake José Luis even had an opinion for the mixed group, of which he is now a part: "They are nice, I sit next to those from Podemos. Tomorrow I am going to a Macaco concert," he assured.

The false Ábalos went further: with his deputy record, they were not going to kick him out of Congress "not even with KH7": "It's the only thing I have left, they have taken everything from me. They have unsubscribed from Netflix, they have My Mercadona card was taken away. The Yoigo one hung up on me. I bought some pistachios and they were all closed. I went to a 100 Montaditos and they didn't have bread. Facebook forgot my birthday. I went to Afflelou and they only told me given me some glasses. I made a hard-boiled egg and it was soft. I bought M

To say goodbye, the impersonator announced that he was going to the program area where "the mixed group" was to wait for it to end, "with those who do nothing in the program." These include, among others, Jorge Salvador, the director of the space.

Viewers commenting on the program on social networks were quick to comment on the comedian's imitation, calling it "impressive", "sublime" and "out of the ordinary", among other qualifications. They also applauded the characterization team, who excelled once again.

"Carlos Latre embroiders it, he embroiders it. He speaks the same, has the same face, the same gestures. I reveal myself to you, Mr. Latre," says one of them. "Unsurpassed, Carlos Latre. This is already Cum Laude! Bravo, maestro. Spectacular. Simply outstanding," adds another.
