Robertito Funes accused the production of a well-known television program of having stolen the idea of the cycle

Robertito Funes Ugarte generated surprise in the television world after publicly denouncing that an idea for a program he had presented some time ago ended up being developed by a production company with another driver at the helm.

The revelation occurred during a cell phone with the program Save Yourself Who Can (América TV), where the host said that a few years ago he had started conversations to carry out a television format that ultimately did not prosper at that time.

“About four years ago I spoke to Diego Guebel, when I was on Public TV, to do I Want to Get Married, and you? ”, said Funes Ugarte when recalling the origin of the project

.

As he explained, at that time the format required the acquisition of rights linked to the original cycle. “At the time, Florencia Galán had to be asked for the rights,” he said.

The journalist explained that some time later he returned to promote the idea. According to him, last year he met with a director from the production company Kuarzo to resume the project

with a renewed focus.

“I said, 'Why don't we do I want to get married? Let's do it with big, fun people, real people who are going to look for a partner, '” he recalled.

According to his account, the proposal had been well received in that initial conversation. “'Yes, I love it, 'he told me,” he added.

However, as the months went by, he learned that the project would move forward with another driver. “Then I find out that they give it to Fabián Doman, on another channel, but with the same production company that I had spoken to,”

he said.

Funes Ugarte said he consulted about the situation, although the answer he received was that it would be a different format.

“I asked and they said no, which is a format similar to the one Claribel Medina did,” he explained.

Even so, the driver acknowledged that the situation left him with some doubts. “I was left wondering, but that's it, Doman is going to do it,” he said

.

Despite the controversy, the journalist tried to take up the subject with a certain amount of humor, although he made it clear that the situation was not indifferent to him.

“How quickly ideas come up in production companies,” he said ironically.

Before closing the topic, Funes Ugarte revealed that he decided to communicate directly with those responsible for the project. “Anyway, I called on the phone. I don't fuck, but if they fuck me, I'm up to arms to take,” he warned.
