Don Francisco Te Invita

Telemundo cancels “Don Francisco Te Invita”

July 30, 2018 by Veronica Villafañe

Telemundo has decided to cancel Mario Kreutzberger’s signature talk and variety show “Don Francisco Te Invita” less than two years since its debut in October 2016.

“After more than 100 shows, Telemundo’s Don Francisco Te Invita has completed its cycle and its last show will air in December,” announced the network, while assuring the well-known TV personality isn’t going anywhere.

“Don Francisco is a great icon of Hispanic television and an integral part of our Telemundo family, and we are very happy that he will continue to work with the network and participate in other projects next year, including several specials with high profile guests.”

The 77-year-old TV host moved to the NBCUniversal-owned network in 2016, signing a multiyear hosting and producing deal just months after Univision axed his long-running “Sábado Gigante” variety show the previous year.

    Just google:
    “Don Francisco, biografia no autorizada de un gigante”, by Laura Landaeta.
    Comcast wouldn’t afford this: a radical band aid before any scandal.
    Google it.

    The show was good. Too bad that like everything else in Spanish media it got too politicized. It’s so sad that you can’t watch anything these days without leftist propaganda. In many shows he invited some folks just to advance the narrative and then he ended every Sunday talking about Hispanics/Latinos deserving respect, etc. No one disputes that. BUT it always goes one way. He always implied that Republicans hate Latinos and that Trump has offended all Mexicans calling all Mexicans and Latinos bandits, drug-smugglers, and so on when none of that’s true. It gets tiring all this Democrat propaganda. They only talk about everything from the Democrats side. We stopped watching at home. All that activism turns us off. We just watched last night’s show because of Jose Luis Rodriguez, and it was very good.
    As far as the scandals, and the book. From what I know this is nothing new. It’s been going around since many years ago.
