Mari Carmen appeared on the program a few days before her birthday to review her professional career – I have been working “64 years without any sabbaticals” – and recalled her golden age on television programs that brought together large audiences. “The television of before is no longer made,” acknowledged the comedian. “The millions that I have won,” Mari Carmen released, who had no problem admitting that she liked money. “I like pasta that you don’t see.” “Me too,” replied Jorge Javier.

Mari Carmen recounted some surprising anecdotes from her life, such as the conversations she had with the kings Juan Carlos and Sofía when they were at a reception. “Queen Sofía is a big fan of Doña Rogelia and King Juan Carlos once told me that he had to teach her to do that. [ventriloquía]”, he pointed out. Mari Carmen explained that the king joked with this interest in learning to put voices to use it in some “council of ministers” that he witnessed without the politicians making him a participant in the things they spoke. “And what can I say without move your mouth: ‘You are all assholes. And they would say, who said that,” she recalled on the show.
