Don Francisco Returns to Univision With Limited Interview Series

The project is billed as advertiser-ready event television featuring intimate conversations with major Spanish-language figures.

Overview

  • TelevisaUnivision said Tuesday at its upfront that Don Francisco will host a limited series of interviews with major personalities from the Hispanic world.
  • The format focuses on close, one-on-one conversations presented as special TV events rather than a weekly variety show.
  • No premiere date was announced, with the company indicating the series should launch within the next year.
  • The move brings the 85-year-old host back to his longtime home after Sábado Gigante, his Univision staple that ran 53 years and ended in 2015.
  • Following that finale, he hosted a Sunday talk show on rival Telemundo that produced about 100 episodes and wrapped in 2018.
