Why is Juan Etchegoyen leaving América TV?
The host and panelist confirmed his departure from the show hosted by Pamela David. For weeks, he hadn't appeared on screen due to a health issue he experienced live.
"My nose started bleeding on air and the channel called an ambulance," he explained at the time. According to his account, he had a very high blood pressure spike and was rushed to a clinic.
A decision made in silence
In that context, one of his followers asked him on X (formerly Twitter) if he would return to the show. Etchegoyen replied directly: "I'm not coming back."

Although he didn't provide further details, he made it clear that his departure is final. The underlying reasons are unknown, but his health condition appears to have been decisive.
What did Etchegoyen say about his health condition?
In a video, the journalist reassured his followers and shared how he experienced that moment. "It wasn't anything serious, but it was a big scare," he confessed.
"I was on air, my nose started bleeding, and I had a very high blood pressure spike," he detailed. He was immediately treated at Trinidad de Palermo.
A warning sign from the body
"The cardiologist told me that stress could have caused everything. He asked me to take a break for a few days," Etchegoyen recounted. The situation forced him to disconnect from work and his phone.
He also mentioned a family history of hypertension. While awaiting tests, he pointed out that it could be a hereditary condition.
