Joaquín Prat is one of the references of Telecinco. The journalist accompanied Ana Rosa Quintana every morning on her morning show, but many viewers have also been able to see him on Cuatro al día or Ya es medio día. In any case, in his television career, the communicator has always been linked to Mediaset, his second home.
But the end of Sálvame brings with it many changes in the chain’s grid. And he is one of those affected. Starting in September, he will be in charge of Vamos a ver, which will debut in the second part of the slot occupied by The AR program.
Mediaset thus bets on a well-known face, although many viewers do not know that Joaquín Prat is not really called that. His full name is Joaquín Oliver Prat Sandberg, as he himself recounted some time ago in Ya es mediodía.
The journalist gave more details about his name as a result of the case of Hazia, a girl who had been denied registration by a judge for double meaning. Same case of some parents who wanted to name her son Lobo. And there Prat explained that he actually had a compound name.
“My real name is Joaquín Oliver,” announced the presenter to the surprise of the collaborators. Prat pointed out that his parents wanted to pay tribute to his “two grandparents”. A family tradition, albeit one far removed from royalty, whose members sometimes even have three names. “I couldn’t have a third party,” he closed.
