Mario Pergolini spoke about his present in televisionand drew a line between himself and the confrontational profile that turned him into a figure of the nineties. The host reflected on his professional evolution in an interview with TN.
In a conversation with Jonatan Viale on the show "La ves?", the creator of historic programs delivered a forceful definition of his new stage. "It makes no sense to be at 60 the same as at 40", he stated.
Mario Pergolini habló sobre su presente en televisión
A new stage on television
During the talk on TN, Pergolini explained that his change doesn't mean that he rejects the past. He assured that his sharp profile was part of a stage that he enjoyed.
"I'm not like that anymore", he acknowledged. However, he clarified that he still keeps a certain irony and the ability to "spice things up" when he considers it necessary. What changed, as he detailed, is the intention of the show: today he prioritizes a deeper exchange with his guests.
From provocative host to interviewer who listens
Pergolini maintained that he is no longer interested in making people uncomfortable as a rule. "I already did a show so that whoever came on would feel uncomfortable", he pointed out.
The host emphasized that repeating that formula would be forced. He believes that each stage of life demands a different perspective.
"Each person has to do at their age what they can"
In the interview with TN, the former standard-bearer of iconic programs reflected on the passage of time. "It would be ridiculous to put myself in the same place when I'm no longer that person", he expressed.
He also highlighted that today he listens more and manages his time differently. The focus is on conversation and not on confrontation.
“Sería ridículo ponerme en el mismo lugar cuando ya no soy ese”
Reinventing oneself without losing identity
The host made it clear that the change doesn't mean losing his essence. His style still keeps irony and a critical outlook, but with a different tone.
As he explained, current television requires adaptation. Experience and one's stage in life influence how a show is built.
