Jorge Javier Vázquez has been the great absence of the Sálvame universe. The Catalan presenter, who has masterfully hosted the daily format of Sálvame and Deluxe, has been on medical leave for several weeks after it became known that Telecinco had decided to cut off the heads of these two heart programs. Vázquez’s situation, which worries those closest to him, has not allowed him to make any appearance at either of the two farewells.
However, the return of the presenter could be closer than it seems. Telecinco is in full revolution to get closer to Antena 3 in terms of audiences and one of the great assets, as YoTele has exclusively advanced, would be to create a new entertainment format with interviews with famous people as if it were El Hormiguero, but with Vazquez in the lead.
The new format of Telecinco, scheduled to be broadcast in prime time from Monday to Thursday, would be a program that distances itself from the tabloids, a field in which Vázquez has skillfully developed for the last 14 years – even more so if he tell their different stages in other programs -.
On July 21, a pilot episode will be recorded at the Telecinco studios in Fuencarral. This test will be presented to the chain’s content managers for evaluation and subsequent approval. If he receives the green light, Jorge Javier Vázquez would face the challenge of attracting the attention of the audience in one of the most disputed schedules on television, dominated for more than 15 years by Pablo Motos.
This return would mean the return of one of the most beloved and charismatic faces on Spanish television. However, before the return of the presenter, it remains to wait for the final decision of Telecinco, which lately has not been getting too right with the formats it is deploying on its grid.
