Hosted by actors Omar Chaparro, Cecilia Galliano and Laura G, “Sabadazo” combines a talk show format with comedy, contests, musical performances and celebrity guest appearances.
This marks a return of the show to Univision, which until two months ago, aired “Sabadazo” Saturdays at 2pm ET/PT for 2 years. It previously aired 3 years on Telefutura, now UniMás.
“Sábado Gigante” signed off on September 19. The final show attracted 6.7 million viewers who tuned in to all or part of the three and half hour live broadcast.
But the show’s cancellation cost more than 100 people their jobs.
