Chapa Tu Money Moves to Open TV With Mateo Garrido Lecca as Host

The move tests whether the show's edgy digital humor can reach mass broadcast audiences.

Overview

  • The digital comedy Chapa tu money will premiere on América Televisión this Saturday at 10:00 p.m. with Mateo Garrido Lecca serving as the on‑air host.
  • No Somos TV, led by Cathy Sáenz, will keep creative and production control to preserve the program’s established style and tone.
  • Garrido Lecca says the television edition will retain about 95% of the digital format’s essence and that the team will moderate early episodes without censoring the show.
  • Mateo, who began as a fan and later joined the digital cast, replaces creators Jorge Luna and Ricardo Mendoza in the hosting role while the original creators remain involved behind the scenes.
  • This first TV season is conditional on audience response and ratings, a test that follows a wider trend of successful online formats moving to national broadcast and could significantly broaden the show’s reach.
