The return of Mario Pergolini to television is already a fact. The host is landing on El Trece with a new show and an unexpected duo.
Agustín Aristarán, better known as Radagast, will be his co-host. The new program will be named Otro día perdido.

What will Pergolini's new program be like?
The information was revealed by journalist Agustín Rey through his X account. According to his details, the show will air Monday to Friday at 11:15 PM on El Trece's screen.
It will be broadcast from La Corte studios and will be produced by Diego Guebel, an old partner of Pergolini. The premiere is expected to be in mid or late June.
The surprise: Agustín Aristarán in the role of co-host
Aristarán will accompany Pergolini in this new television stage. It is an eye-catching duo that mixes humor with incisive journalism.

Additionally, the program will include a special section on Fridays led by Dante Gebel, another strong name joining the project.
The confirmation came from various sources
Jorge Rial also announced on his radio show Argenzuela that Pergolini would return with a 40-minute nightly newscast. According to him, the agreement included a significant budget in dollars and conditions demanded by the host.
"They met his conditions," assured Rial, who also confirmed that the debut will be next month.
From rejecting television to returning through the front door
Days ago, Pergolini had already left open the possibility of returning. He did so through an Instagram story where he asked himself: "Is it time to return?"
However, when a reporter from LAM approached him, he denied everything. "I don't have social media," he said sarcastically, although without completely denying the meeting with Adrián Suar.
A relationship that was mended over time
The host acknowledged that, after years of being estranged, he now gets along well with Suar. "I like him a lot. If he were my boss, I'd chat all the time," he said, hinting that the relationship with El Trece has been reactivated.
He concluded with a provocative phrase: "Television is dead".
