El Trece Pledges Televised Celebration For Mirtha Legrand's 100th Birthday

The on‑air pledge from El Trece's programming chief signals a major tribute to a national television icon with production details still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Adrián Suar told Mirtha Legrand on La noche de Mirtha on Saturday that El Trece is preparing a large televised celebration for her 100th birthday on 23 February 2027.
  • Mirtha Legrand accepted the proposal on air and reacted with visible surprise and emotion during the episode that featured the cast of the new play Sottovoce.
  • Suar described the planned event as unprecedented in televised tribute terms, but outlets report no formal production plan or confirmed logistics beyond his on‑air promise.
  • La noche de Mirtha averaged about 4.2 rating points that night, a slight decline from the previous week, while the broadcast also served to promote the Sottovoce run.
  • The pledge builds on Legrand's recent return from bronchitis and a Martín Fierro award and must still move through network planning and production steps before becoming a confirmed special.
