Ernesto Pimentel Halts “Sábado Súper Star” To Focus on La Chola Chabuca Circus

The decision reflects a pivot to the intensive circus season despite strong recent ratings.

Overview

  • Pimentel, who performs as La Chola Chabuca, announced during Monday's closing minutes that the weekend variety show would pause so he can prepare the Circo de la Chola Chabuca.
  • Recent audience data showed his programs leading the weekend, with El Reventonazo at 9.3 rating points and Sábado Súper Star at 8.7, beating rival formats reported by multiple outlets.
  • He said the stage play Senado will wrap its run this week at Lima’s Teatro La Plaza so he can dedicate full time to the circus production.
  • The farewell episode featured guests Andrea San Martín and Belén Estévez in insect and snake challenges, a dance face-off with Karen Dejo and Angye Zapata, and musical imitations by Betina Onetto and Patricia Alquinta.
  • Circus seasons in Peru demand months of planning, casting, and touring logistics, and Pimentel told viewers he will stay connected and return with new projects after the season.
