How much did Pergolini ask to return to the small screen?
In her column on Lape Club Social for América TV, Calabró revealed that the historic host asked for USD 75,000 monthly to host his new show on El Trece.
The figure is striking, especially in the midst of an industry that is in crisis and with salaries well below those numbers.
What will Mario Pergolini's new show be about?
The show would be named Otro día perdido and will be produced by BoxFish, the company of Diego Guebel, Pergolini's former partner in Cuatro Cabezas.
The format will combine current events, debate, and humor. A risky bet that will seek to make a difference in the channel's line-up. Additionally, he will be accompanied by Agustín "Rada" Aristarán, who will bring his humorous touch to the project.
Is his return to television confirmed?
Although the contract is not yet finalized, negotiations are very advanced. The parties are satisfied with the content and structure of the show.
Pergolini himself is excited about the proposal and willing to return, as long as the requested fee is respected.
