On her return to the screen, for El Trece, Mirtha Legrand’s granddaughter had to compete with a lit Moria Casán, guest star of “PH” (Telefe).
For the second year in a row, Juana Viale once again donned the hostess outfit of La Noche de Mirtha Legrand , replacing her grandmother. The return of the diva’s granddaughter to the head of the El Trece cycle had several novelties. In addition, the classic duel for the rating with Andy Kusnetzoff , who had already premiered the fifth season of Podemos Hablar (Telefe) last Saturday , was reissued .
Juana debuted with a musical opening where Viale herself and Martín Bossi , one of the evening’s guests, stood out . The staging was directed by Valeria Ambrosio, the choreography by Elizabeth de Chapeaurouge ( Cabaret and Priscila , among others), the music by Juan Blas Caballero and the camera direction by Pablo del Pozo.
“Welcome to another cycle. With a lot of good energy. We are in a new house that you are going to see, because it is incredible, ”said Juana after the opening. As the producer Nacho Viale had anticipated , this year the cycle is broadcast from the new studio of La Corte -500 square meters-, with a renewed scenography.
“I’m re nervous, for a change. I don’t get used to this. I want to start by thanking you. I’m not going to get excited … To my grandmother, Mrs. Mirtha Legrand, who is waiting for her second dose, of course. To all my new work team, because we moved, we are in La Corte. To Martín Bossi, a beautiful human being. To my boyfriend and friends ”, Viale continued in his welcome message, showing a light blue Gino Bogani dress.
In addition to Bossi -who returns to the theater with Comedy Tour- , Juana’s Saturday table was made up of three other conductors: Matías Martin, Darío Barassi, who is going through a great moment in front of 100 Argentines, they say , and Diego Leuco , co-host of Telenoche with Luciana Geuna.
Juana and La noche de Mirtha Legrand -who said that she will return when the second dose of the coronavirus vaccine is applied- started at 9:30 p.m., scoring 6.7 rating points as soon as it went on the air, a little below the 9.8 that at that time had the famous edition of Pasapalabra on Telefe.
With Bossi’s musical painting, which mixed several themes with the classic curtain by Mirtha Legrand, it immediately climbed to 7.3, still behind Iván de Pineda’s program, which climbed to 10.9 with El Rosco final between Kapanga’s Mono and Fernando Carlos.
At 22, the second broadcast of the year of the fifth season of PH started , with Moria Casán , Leticia Siciliani, Soledad Fandiño, Jonás Gutiérrez and Rocío Quiroz as guests. In its first minutes, the Telefe program scored 10.6 points, against the 7.7 recorded by La Noche de Mirtha .
It is worth remembering that since last Saturday, Podemos Hablar also showed a renewed scenography with a futuristic aesthetic, and new segments. In addition, the table where the guests eat is arranged in the form of a puzzle, as if to maintain the mandatory distances.
This Sunday the official averages of Saturday were known , beyond the instantaneous measurement of “minute by minute”: the battle for the rating had Kusnetzoff as the winner .
PH ended up averaging 10.1 points, being the most watched of the day on open TV. For its part, La noche de Mirtha hosted by Juana Viale averaged 7.5 and was the third most watched program of the day , behind Pasapalabra famous , with 8.1.
