One month before the premiere ofOtro día perdido, there was talk on TV about a possible "blacklist" of guests whom Mario Pergolini would not have wanted on his late-night show on El Trece.
The rumor surfaced on Los Profesionales de Siempre (El Nueve), where it was claimed that, until certain names appeared on air, there was speculation that they would not be invited.
What was said on TV
According to the panelists, Pergolini's show took a clear stance: to avoid interviews with figures with whom there had been recent conflicts or tensions.

The host returned to television after 15 years, with a format that informs, jokes, and interviews, and that sought to set itself apart from the very beginning.
Who would be on the list
The first name mentioned was Guido Kaczka. The explanation pointed to the programming changes at El Trece that would have benefited his show and affected others. His role as a content creator and key producer for the channel was also recalled.

Andy Kusnetzoff also came up, a former colleague of Pergolini on CQC. The historical relationship between the two would have weighed against prioritizing an invitation at this stage.
Mario Pergolini y Marcelo Tinelli.
Lastly, Marcelo Tinelli. came up. According to the rumor, he would have the channel's green light, but not yet Mario's approval, so his visit would not have moved forward.
Until one of these names sits in the studio, speculation persisted: Kaczka, Kusnetzoff, and Tinelli would have been, for now, unwanted guests on Otro día perdido.
