Susana Giménez's return to television had been dragging on: as soon as the pandemic began to ease, her return was announced with "very soon" and nothing.
She was seen in a comedy reality show on Paramount +, she was honored at the Martín Fierro Awards, in several specials (the last one was with
Sebastián Yatra
) and in some notes with the Movileros about different topics.
And this Monday the 29th,
the day of her birthday
, it was confirmed that
the diva will reappear on the screen, but not with her traditional program, but in a one-on-one with Javier Milei
.
At midnight on Sunday, the fake Big Brother elimination gala had barely finished
(
everything
was
set up for the seventh participant to leave and finally everyone was left in the house, so that this Monday there would be a double elimination gala and compete against the farewell of the
Bailando
),
the channel broadcast a tribute to Susana, in the first minutes of her 80th birthday
.
The celebration clip made by Telefe featured
the voice-over story of another of the great TV divas, Mirtha Legrand
, a figure from El Trece.
But for emotional tributes, it is clear, there is no exclusivity that counts.
And
Chiqui's voice was heard for a little while on the leading screen
.
And late this Monday afternoon it was learned that
Susana Giménez will return on the first Monday in February, but only for one day
.
And it won't be to answer the phone or play
"Su, Sa and Na"
, but to
interview exclusively the brand new president of the Argentines
.
The host's report to Milei
will take place next Sunday, February 4, in her office at the Casa Rosada
.
There will not be many witnesses, beyond the presidential advisors and a small production team, including the makeup people.
Javier Milei was already visiting Mirtha's place.
He now has his turn with Susana.
At the moment the topics on the agenda have not transcended, but, knowing Susana, it is assumed that
the one-on-one meeting will have more of a chat character than a sharp or journalistic questionnaire
.
When will it air
The management between the channel and the communication team surrounding Milei took several weeks.
The production will be carried out by
the production company 22, managed by Luis and Bernarda Cella, children of Luis Cella
, the historic producer of Susana Giménez.
The edited note
will be broadcast on Monday, February 5 at 9:45 p.m.
, in the space currently occupied by
Perfect Escape
- an entertainment series hosted by
Iván de Pineda
-, and in the slot prior to the Big Brother gala, the most seen on current television.
Beyond the high rating that the meeting between Susana and Milei will surely achieve, it will be seen if
this report marks Giménez's definitive return to TV in 2024 or it will just be, as she sometimes says,
"one touch and I'm gone .
"
