Ana Morgade seeks lightness in the midst of polarization in 'Let's get along'

“Hi, I'm Ana Morgade, the one with the fake glasses.

I'm at La 1 on Tuesday nights.

And for what?

So that we can get along well, ”says the comedian with a run and staring at the camera that records her while she runs her finger along the frame where the glass of the lenses should be.

It is a small advertisement that will appear during other programs on the public television network, and that Ana Morgade (Madrid, 43 years old), dressed in a fuchsia blazer,

and white sneakers, pronounced on the set of her program to promote its new space,

, which premieres this Tuesday on La 1 de TVE at 10:50 p.m.

The program, a mix of

With interviews and a contest, he will face four comedians in a boxing ring in a battle "with wit and humor", which is, according to Morgade, what is worth discussing.

The first episode of the season will feature the four comedians Miki Nadal, Terremoto, María Gómez and Miguel Maldonado, whom Morgade has been in charge of "calling personally".

“I love being able to give work to my friends, it's the best part of what I do,” he explained with a smile.

She will make them compete with games and challenges of general culture, current affairs, but also physical tests, in a competition in which the winner will take the program trophy, with her name engraved on the cup.

“I love getting my friends into trouble, it's super fun.

You are going to see them go crazy, go blank, get into trouble… ”, she recounted.

In fact, the television presenter dreams that taking the program's trophy will become a kind of banner within the comedians' union.

Every week, however, the collaborators will rotate.

Marc Amorós, the program's director, emphasized the importance of the original staging, but stressed that this was a boxing ring where it was more interesting to laugh than to argue.

In addition, he highlighted that with the challenges proposed by the program, they wanted in a way to do "what is done on Tik Tok", something that Morgade justified as a way to "unite generations".

The premiere of the program is part of a trend of La 1 de TVE, which wants to renew its

schedule with weekly programs such as

—the television return of Julia Otero— and with formats like this.

In

Along Not everything will be fast-paced entertainment.

As María Eizaguirre, director of Communication and Participation at RTVE, clarified, the pace will be regulated by more sedate interviews, with guests from the world of entertainment and cinema.

The first to attend will be Blanca Paloma, the winner of the Benidorm Fest who will represent Spain with her flamenco

, of which Morgade declares herself an unconditional fan.

Although politics will also be discussed, it will be done from a humorous point of view.

“We can't do a brainy analysis at eleven at night because people are tired.

You are not going to give them the turra.

The idea is to give brushstrokes so that, if you have been very busy all day, you have the feeling that you are finding out what is happening.

But at the same time, without going into the abysmal depths of a newscast.

We do something that, without being frivolous, is much more superficial”, argued the comedian.

The slogan and title of the space has been the subject of controversy, since this Sunday, February 5, the journalist and writer Marisol Galdón published a tweet in which she stated that the name of the program was a title that she herself had registered in the General Registry of Intellectual Property, dated August 26, 2020. In the message, he also expressed his surprise at this choice.

Eizaguirre replied that it was a very common expression in everyone's language and that the project presented by Galdón had nothing to do with that format.

Ana Morgade had deplored in an interview with EL PAÍS in 2021 that the majority of television spaces in the large audience segments were taken over by men.

However, this Monday, although she admitted that she had work to do, she did not hide her enthusiasm: “It is a joy that TVE has opted to put a woman in charge of a program in the

zone .

Normally, the morning programs are always reserved for female names, but when it starts to get late the gentlemen appear.

I believe that all that we can advance in that sense is progress.

I love being able to say that I have a format on national television.

I just hope to be another one of many ”.
