Yesterday one of the most iconic contests in the history of the small screen in Spain returned to national television in our country: the Summer Grand Prix. Although the format presented some differences, such as the ‘stuffed’ heifer and some changes in the mechanics, the essence remains the same.
There were many doubts about how the audience would receive the return of a format so loved by the public. After 18 years of absence, the program presented by Ramón García devastated and became the most watched of the day with a spectacular 26.1% audience share and more than two and a half million viewers, quite a success considering the low television consumption of citizens in summer.
In addition to García, in this new edition are present the actress Michelle Calvó, who acts as ambassador of the towns and hostess of the program and the streamer Cristinini, who comments on the plays of the participants from a cabin.
In this first episode, the towns of Alfacar (Granada) and Colmenarejo (Madrid) faced each other and gave us endless fun moments that will go down in the history of Spanish television. In addition, they had Lolita Flores and Miguel Ángel Muñoz as godparents of each municipality, the first from Granada and the second from Madrid.
One of the funniest moments of the night came from the hand of Jesús, a resident of Alfacar to whom the presenter asked “his occupation in life.” Far from answering by saying a normal job, the man replied that he is dedicated to “drinking beer.”
The witty reply from Alfacareno provoked laughter from the presenter and his companions Michelle Calvó and Cristinini, who couldn’t help but laugh. The audience also burst into laughter at the occurrence of the man, who remained calm after dropping the ‘bomb’.
Although it has been a success at the viewer level, the Spanish Television program also managed to be the most commented format of the day on social networks such as Twitter and Instagram. Thousands of users from our country commented on the gala and emphasized Jesús’ funny response about what he does.
”The best program in the history of television”, ”More than what he says, the calm with which he says it is what tells me that this good man is Spain”, ”Jesús is that opponent while he awaits the publication of the final notes”, ”I see myself prepared to represent Móstoles” or ”This guy is my fucking father and he also represents me” are some of the comments that can be read reacting to the funny moment.
