This Tuesday, Miguel Ángel Revilla visited El Hormiguero again. Let us remember that the former president of Cantabria has attended the Antena 3 Television program on countless occasions; one of his most memorable visits was when he spoke about his wife and the cancer he suffers from. That interview made even Pablo Motos cry.
On this occasion, Revilla has focused more on a review of current political and social events. Of course, there was one fact that he strongly asked the presenter to clarify: whether or not he charged for attending his program. A reasonable doubt that many viewers have always asked themselves.
Miguel Ángel Revilla has gone from having an El Hormiguero platinum card to being part of the Infinity Club. That’s what it’s like to be friends with the presenter and have him invite you every time there’s an opportunity. Like, for example, celebrating his recently turned 81 years old. The chemistry between Pablo Motos and the Cantabrian is a fact and both dialogue without restrictions on any topic.
Although, sometimes, the former president of Cantabria goes through the hills of Úbeda and despairs the Valencian because he does not answer the question directly. Of course, when something needs to be clarified, Revilla is the first to do it and ask for it. How _____________ last night.
It all happened when Revilla explained how he felt after ending his career as president of Cantabria, although he does continue in politics. “I am in a stage of placidity. “They have evicted me from the presidency of the Government, I am still a deputy, but in a phase in which I want others to take charge of the party,” he assured as soon as the interview began in El Hormiguero.
And he emphasized: “I come without payment.” Immediately afterwards, the popular man asked the presenter for something: “Clarify one thing, that people think I come here getting paid.” A request that the Valencian ended up specifying. “I spend the day clarifying things,” he said at first.
Then, Motos sent a message to sailors and made the following clear: “Neither you, nor anyone. In the eighteen years that this program has been running, no guest has ever received a single cent. Never. “They come because they want to and because they are interested.” Consequently, El Hormiguero does not pay its guests to attend, unlike other entertainment formats.
Among the programs that do pay their guests to sit down and tell their lives, we have the defunct Deluxe, now converted into ¡De Viernes!. Then there are other formats such as Bake Off, MasterChef, Supervivientes or Big Brother that contract their contestants and, therefore, have a salary.
