For many years there has been a throne that no other has been able to occupy, the throne of prime time.

For many years, that throne has belonged to one man and one program.

For many years, those who yearned and yearn for this throne have given up the battle for loss.

Container of golden minutes, audience leader day in and day out, millions of viewers ... And the king is none other than

Pablo Motos

y su

Hormiguero

.

However, tonight starting at 10 p.m., the jewel in the crown of Antena 3 will fight what is expected to be a tough battle after

Telecinco

has decided to bring

Iker Jiménez

, his

Fourth Millennium

and his theories about the

coronavirus

.

Iker Jiménez

makes the leap from

Cuatro

to

Telecinco

with a special program,

Informe Covid

, with which he will not only try to snatch some audience from the king of prime time, but also with which he will try to drag the audience to the series

Mothers

, which in its premiere last week was downed by the summer hit,

Woman

.

In a risky bet,

Mediaset

wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, see if it is possible to overthrow a king and, on the other, try to raise a series, which if it does not succeed is destined to fail.

I ask: if you had to choose between coronavirus and

Iker Jiménez

or entertainment and

Pablo Motos

, which one would you choose?

Who will win the battle?

Overthrowing

Pablo Motos

and

El Hormiguero

is almost a utopia.

Although the attempts in recent years have been weak and unable to cope, the boom of

Iker Jiménez as

a result of the

coronavirus

pandemic

may shake the foundations of the kingdom of

Trancas and Barrancas

.

I doubt it, quite a bit, but it is certainly the strongest bet that has been made for that overthrow in a long time.

And it is that

Iker Jiménez

has known how to take advantage of the pandemic.

Since we were confined, the captain of

Cuarto Milenio

stayed at home transforming his program into videos from his home where he gave his opinion and his theories about the

coronavirus

, and turning it into a more than possible new goose that lays the golden eggs.

There was practically no day that Iker Jiménez's videos did not grab headlines and comments on social networks.

And

Mediaset

has seen the business.

Iker Jiménez and the coronavirus

If

Iker Jiménez

has taken advantage of the pandemic to increase his followers and viewers,

Mediaset was

not going to miss the opportunity that his success was offering him.

When on Wednesday of last week the premiere of

Mothers

hit the bump while fighting

Woman

, someone in

Mediaset

turned on the light bulb.

Why not bring the

Fourth Millennium

to

Telecinco

in prime time and on a weekday?

Why not take advantage of the success of

Iker Jiménez

in the wake of the

coronavirus

to turn the grid upside down?

Why not pull a special program on the

coronavirus

to hook the audience and at the same time see if you can beat

Pablo Motos

?

I doubt that

tonight's Covid Report

can with

El Hormiguero

, but at least, for sure, that it takes him out of his comfort zone.

So far,

Pablo Motos

has had no rival, but what if now

Iker Jiménez

becomes the enemy to beat?

What if now we have to activate the defenses?

What if now we have to take out the artillery?

It will be tomorrow when it will be seen if

Iker Jiménez

has managed to make a hole in the walls of

El Hormiguero

.

What army does

Iker Jiménez have

for this first battle?

Report Covid will

start at 10 p.m.

-about

10 minutes after the start of El Hormiguero- and will last predictably and, according to the television schedule, until 11.00 p.m., at which point the second chapter of

Mothers

should begin

.

According to the

Mediaset

press release

, the special program led by Iker Jiménez will have different experts on the

coronavirus

.

Virologists, doctors, scientists, researchers ... In addition, tonight's program will focus on the return to school and the effects of the

coronavirus

on children.

Pediatricians such as

Fernando García-Sala

, president of the Spanish Society of Out-

of-hospital

Pediatrics and Primary Care (SEPEAP),

Fernando Uribarri

, a physician at the San Rafael Hospital in Madrid or Dr.

César Carballo

, assistant physician in the Emergency Service of the Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid will be with

Iker Jiménez

and

Carmen Porter

, in the program where not only will the incidence of the

coronavirus

in children

be discussed

or if they are really what has been called supercontagators, but also if the viral load lasts longer in children or if it is safe return to classrooms.

In addition, it will also feature

Pablo Fuente

, one of the researchers who has become a benchmark in the dissemination of information about

Covid-19

, who in February was one of the first to predict what ultimately occurred.

If to all this is added the viral opinions of

Iker Jiménez

and the intrigue in knowing if the journalist will be as clear as he did during the confinement, it is difficult not to think that the movement from the

Fourth Millennium

to

Telecinco

could work.

Of course, as long as

Pablo Motos

allows it, and I doubt it, I doubt it a lot.

The weapons of El Hormiguero

El Hormiguero

has something that has always fascinated me and that is that although he has been an audience leader for many years he has never let his guard down, he has always gone for more.

In each program, in each interview, in each guest, what is transmitted is not the comfort that being the king of prime time should give, but quite the opposite.

They always go for more and they always up the ante.

Tonight at

El Hormiguero

the Javis and Paca, la Piranha

will have fun

to promote the premiere of the third episode of the

Veneno

series

.

The Javis

have always been a safe bet for

El Hormiguero

and tonight they will have to give their all for everything more than ever.

They will not disappoint as they have never done when they have gone to

El Hormiguero

and, if we add to them that tonight she trains as a collaborator of the

Tamara Falcó

program

, it is difficult for the

Covid Report

of

Iker Jiménez to be

able to with them.

It may sound strange to

say that

Tamara Falcó

fight the Report

Covid

of

Fourth Millennium

, but be realistic.

No matter how much or little you like Tamara Falcó, there will be many who want to see what Isabel Preysler's daughter is really going to do in

El Hormiguero

.

When the show premiered last week with her as the first guest,

El Hormiguero

not only got the golden minute again but also gave the show a

17.5% audience share

.

There is nothing.

That is, whatever

Tamara Falcó is

interested in or at least has a power of attraction that is difficult to overcome.

If we add to that power of attraction that you don't really know what you are going to do, rather that you are going to sit at the collaborators' table with Nuria Roca and Juan del Val, because the potion is already underway.

The risk of Telecinco

Telecinco takes

risks tonight with a program that until now has been raised on the skirts of

Cuatro

.

The requirement of a chain is not the same as the requirement of the parent chain.

The audience data for

Fourth Millennium is

not bad, in fact it is quite good.

Last Sunday it achieved an 11.6% screen share, tying with

Antena 3's

El Peliculón

, which achieved the same.

In its season premiere, on September 6, it

broke a record of viewers with 1,680,000 and a 13.6% share.

It is the pull of

Covid

and

Iker Jiménez

, and it is, probably, what has led

Telecinco to

pull it.

However, the question now is whether the viewer wants to continue being bombarded by information about the

coronavirus

or if, on the contrary, the viewer needs the release that entertainment programs such as

El Hormiguero

entail

, above all, for their mental health.

It is clear that the

Covid Report

will work and that it will work better than if it had been programmed in prime time

Madres

, but it will be difficult for it to really harm

El Hormiguero

.

When you have spent practically all day listening, watching and reading information about the

coronavirus

for months

, it reaches a point that what you want and what you need is to disconnect.

With

the Covid Report,

the viewer will surely discover new data, new information and the expected reactions of

Iker Jiménez

.

However, no matter how much

Covid-19

and no matter how much interest you may have to see what the presenter has to say to say now on

Telecinco

, there are many who prefer to sit on the couch and watch something that entertains you and makes you forget why a few minutes the constant bombardment of information about the

coronavirus

.

This is the biggest disadvantage that

the Covid Report has

.

This one, and that in prime time there is no

Game of Thrones

.
