An unfiltered message and moments of high emotional impact
In that first monologue, the former vedette made a direct comment to El Trece, the channel that decided not to renew Mañanísima. "They kicked me out of a channel, they didn't even ask for my permission... and they kept El Zorro, which repeats episodes and still gets ratings," she said, mixing irony and criticism.
Later on, Carmen experienced an emotional reunion with Julieta Bal, daughter of Santiago Bal and Silvia Pérez. The conversation revolved around family constellations, a topic that, as she announced, will be part of the show weekly with Julieta as a frequent guest.
She also interviewed Claudia Valenzuela, L-Gante's mother, in an intimate conversation about the challenge of being the mother of a popular figure. Under the theme "What it's like to be the mother of a star," the conversation offered a different perspective on the world of entertainment.
For the closing, Federico Bal joined in, who was present to support his mother in this new beginning. With words of encouragement, he wished her success and celebrated her return to the screen.
