“I have worked with the best”

It took Jorge Javier just over a year to return to Mediaset’s afternoons. After the cancellation of Save me and the restructuring of this slot, the network has decided to bet on him again to lead the new program that Telecinco will premiere in the afternoon on July 29. He will replace This is lifefrom 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and will be the opening act for Ana Rosa Quintana’s program.

“I am very excited about The newspaper“he said at the presentation of the program that he attended Informalia“It comes at a time in my career when I thought there would be no surprises. When they proposed it to me I said, “Really?”recalled this new format that Patricia Gaztañaga hosted for eleven years on Antena 3.

Jorge Javier only had one “fear”because “we all have in our heads Patricia’s diary and I didn’t want to do the same thing.” In fact, he asked that the structure of the program “not be a presenter and four chairs.” In this sense, George’s Diary It seems that it will innovate in the scenography and in the way of telling the stories of the anonymous characters who will visit the set every afternoon.The biggest challenge was how to tell the stories and the team has figured out how to surprise the viewer in the way they do it.”

Return to Telecinco with a talk show The diary seems to have surprised him as much as returning with a programme in the afternoon, a time slot he had already ruled out. “When I was at home without working, I would eat, drink coffee and watch Telecinco and I would get that drowsiness of siesta time, I would say to myself: ‘I don’t know how I was able to work at that time. They won’t catch me in another one. How have I been able to do it for 14 years?’ But life comes to surprise for the better,” he said. “It’s like coming home and that’s how I experience it.”

In Jorge’s diarythe presenter will change the famous ones Save me by the anonymous ones, two very different types of guests, according to his analysis. “For a famous person, going to a studio is a profession and they lose spontaneity. The anonymous has a point of innocence that catches you”In this sense, Jorge Javier has also ruled out the presence of popular collaborators.

“No. It’s my program and no”has sentenced sharply, despite the fact that for years he was surrounded by them in Save me“We must reclaim the presenter’s television, an author’s television. I have worked with the best collaborators and now I like having the program and facing something new alone.“That’s why it’s a challenge and I’m looking forward to getting started,” he said. “It’s an absolute challenge and I’m committed to it”he insisted.
