Germenos out of Telemundo’s morning show

August 8, 2013 by Veronica Villafañe

Omar GermenosTelemundo morning show host Omar Germenos is no longer with “Un Nuevo Día.”  Earlier today, he sent out a few tweets to his fans, including one of him on the set with his co-hosts, not indicating anything was wrong.

A Telemundo network spokesperson confirmed his departure from the show after rumors he was fired after finishing today’s program circulated on Twitter.

When asked about Omar, Telemundo sent this brief statement:

“Telemundo confirms that Omar Germenos is no longer with “Un Nuevo Día.” We appreciate his work, dedication and professionalism as co-host of the network’s morning show. We wish him all the best in his future plans.”

Omar joined the show when it was revamped and relaunched in February 2011. He had previously acted in Telemundo’s novela “¿Dónde está Elisa?” He began his career as an actor in his native Mexico. In the U.S., he hosted Univision’s “El Gran BlaBlazo” from 2000-2001.

Omar tweeted this photo around 9 am ET of him on the set of the show with his co-hosts. Hours later, he would no longer be part of “Un nuevo día.”

    Actors or actresses are not naturally born to be anchorman or anchorwomen. What about to have some journalist or communication degree to audition for the post? But anyways, Univision and Telemundo don’t have that requirement on mind. So, that is the reason why I don’t watch their news telecast.

    Any reason known ? He is certainly a nice guy, or seems so.
