MomenTVs Pablo Motos, El Hormiguero and his "frankly fucked up"
LOC The success of 'El Hormiguero' without Pablo Motos
"How easy everything has been and what a pleasure working with this team. And today we have a program."
Nuria Roca said
goodbye last night from her brief, but intense, trip to the front of
El Hormiguero
with the same humility and even almost embarrassment of these days.
Last night was her last night as a substitute presenter for
Pablo Motos
, and
It could have happened without pain or glory, but no, far from it.
Nuria Roca
only needed 10 days and
Pablo Motos's
positive for coronavirus
to remind us of what a great presenter she was and what she is.
Not only has she taken over the reins of the program in record time, not only has she risen to the top again, she has also obtained audience data for the program that confirm that
Nuria Roca
is more than wasted.
Stroke of luck?
I doubt it.
Nuria Roca
has always been a star, she has always been a great presenter, she has always been a great communicator, she just needed to get back the site that she should never have lost.
There were no more words of farewell, that is saved for tonight in which as
Pablo Motos
announced last night
"something is going to happen that has never been seen on television" and, in addition, the two will coincide on set.
It will be the perfect moment for him to thank her for having kept the boat afloat, and she does as she does all these days, do not stop thanking, do not stop praising the
El Hormiguero team
, do not stop getting what she has made that the public has surrendered to
Nuria Roca
as if there were no tomorrow.
During these 10 days presenting
El Hormiguero,
everything has been praise for the Valencian.
The viewers, the social networks, the audience have surrendered to her without a single but.
Her humility, her care, her respect, her modesty, her simplicity and, above all, being able to see her again in front of a program, and interviews, have made her eclipse (and not bet) her great friend
Pablo Motos
.
By putting
Nuria Roca's
name
on Twitter, you can read hundreds and hundreds of messages in which viewers not only applaud her but also ask that she be the one to stay in front of
El Hormiguero
.
Of course, deserving it deserves it, the audience data obtained during these 10 days support it, it has maintained, even improved, the average.
But behind this success, behind these displays of affection from the public, there is something more than the good work of the presenter.
The success of
Nuria Roca
these two weeks can be summed up in 70% she, and 30% the animosity that many viewers have for
Pablo Motos
.
An animosity that has not affected the audiences of
El Hormiguero
, which was a run run that did not stop playing and that with Nuria Roca has materialized.
Why Nuria Roca yes and Pablo Motos no?
Removing
Pablo Motos
from
El Hormiguero
to put
Nuria Roca
was an impossible utopia.
Nobody and nothing will be able to separate
Pablo Motos
from his son, and I don't think
Nuria Roca
will accept him either.
In the 15 years that the program has only the coronavirus has been able to separate
Pablo Motos
from his son.
Neither the death of his father, nor that of his mother, nor operations, nor anything, nothing, nothing could with him.
Pablo Motos
lives for
El Hormiguero
and, to the parrot,
El Hormiguero
lives thanks to
Pablo Motos
.
Yes,
Nuria Roca
has done incredible audience data, so much so that the night of the interview with
Susanna Griso
she set a record for the season's audience.
To Caesar what is Caesar's.
But let's not get carried away by the euphoria, the audiences that
El Hormiguero
has marked
during these 10 days with
Nuria Roca
at the helm, are little different from those that the program usually marks with
Pablo Motos
.
The Nuria Roca thing is not only audience
For example, we go to the week before
Pablo Motos
announced his positive for coronavirus and
Nuria Roca
replaced him
.
That week, which ran from January 25 to 31, El Hormiguero had
David Verdaguer
as its first guest, on Monday the 25th
.
That day, the program was seen by more than three million viewers and achieved a 17% audience share.
On Tuesday, with the visit of
Javier Gutiérrez
and
Karra Elejalde
, El Hormiguero was seen by almost 3.5 million viewers and reached a 20% share.
On Wednesday, with
Eduardo Noriega
and
Adriana Ugarte
, it once again exceeded 3 million viewers.
And on Thursday, with
Gloria Serra,
it had 2.7 million viewers and a 15.2% audience share.
That week,
Pablo Motos
was still the presenter.
On Monday of the following week,
El Hormiguero
premiered month and substitute presenter.
Nuria Roca was in charge of the program after announcing that
Pablo Motos
had been in contact with a positive and was waiting for the results of I don't know how many PCRs.
That night,
Nuria Roca's
first
as presenter of
El Hormiguero
, the guest was
Maluma
, one of the most anticipated guests by the audience.
The program managed to be seen by a little more than 2.9 million viewers and obtained a share of 16.4%.
That day, that first night for
Nuria Roca
, everyone adored her, the applause for the presenter was already unstoppable.
Tuesday arrived, the night of
Susanna Griso arrived
and
El Hormiguero
shot up to set a season record and get the fifth most watched program in its history: almost 3.9 million viewers and more than 20% screen share.
Let us not forget, and without detracting from the great work of
Nuria Roca
, that the guest was
Susanna Griso
, one of the talismans, along with others such as
Vicente Vallés
or
Miguel Ángel Revilla
, from
El Hormiguero
.
On Wednesday,
Carmen Maura
was the guest, and
El Hormiguero
returned to its stockings, 3 million viewers and a 16.6% share.
On Thursday, with
Carmina Barrio
, the same or even a little lower, 2.6 million viewers.
What does this mean, that
Nuria Roca
has maintained the success of
El Hormiguero
, but that
El Hormiguero
is an entity with its own success.
In other words, that the public is with
Nuria Roca
is an undeniable fact;
that right now there are more people who would prefer that
Nuria Roca
stay at the head of the program than those who want
Pablo Motos to
return
, it is a reality like a temple;
That Nuria Roca has given new air, freshness, naturalness, spontaneity, simplicity and a new spirit to the program is as true as the one who said that it was
Nuria Roca
who replaced him was
Pablo Motos
.
Look if
Pablo Motos
, although he hasn't stopped appearing for a single day on the program, knew that the one who was going to do it best and who could best replace him was
Nuria Roca
.
It should not have been easy for someone like
Pablo Motos
, who lives in
El Hormiguero
, to see for 10 nights how his program went from strength to strength without him.
You may have had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, the joy of seeing how her friend did so well and was so praised by critics and the public.
On the other, seeing himself away from his
Anthill
for the first time
.
And finally, be aware that without him the program has moved on.
It should not have been easy, but still not being easy, even though the public loves
Nuria Roca
and not him, it was
Pablo Motos
who bet on her without hesitation.
Many comments these days criticized
Pablo Motos
for wanting to appear every day on the program.
They argued that the presenter should be afraid of how well
Nuria Roca
was doing
, that Nuria Roca would take away his place, of feeling displaced, of the fear of being replaced.
Maybe there was, but I sincerely believe that the same joy that the public has felt with these days of
Nuria Roca
at the helm of
El Hormiguero
, has felt multiplied by 10
Pablo Motos
.
The first day he missed when
Nuria Roca
connected with him and asked him how he was doing,
Pablo Motos
was very clear: "I'm fine with my health, but I'm really screwed up."
That "frankly screwed up" was not because of the uncertainty of the coronavirus, nor because of the wait for the PCR, it was because he was not in
El Hormiguero
.
Imagine that for 15 years you have dedicated all your days to the same thing, you have given yourself body and soul to it, you have put everything before that, and one day, overnight, you see yourself outside.
What would you feel
Envy?
Fear?
Panic?
Concern?
All?
Now, add to it that the person who replaces you is doing so well that who you serve, that is, the public, loves her more than you, and much more.
The auction.
And now think that you chose her, that she is your friend, that you are aware of how good she is, how well she is doing, how well she is keeping the heat of your chair ... Maybe it's time to start to think what I have done wrong to make this happen or, rather, what is she doing so well to make it happen.
Nuria Roca and her great discovery
We cannot forget that
Nuria Roca
's talent is an innate talent.
She came to television by chance, pushed by her friends who encouraged her to appear at a casting.
It started on Valencian television with the contest
La Sort de Cara
, but it was
Chicho Ibáñez Serrador
, yes, the great
Chicho
who saw in it what it seems we have discovered in these 10 days.
It was 1998 and
Chicho
put her in charge of the
Waku Waku
program
.
Nuria Roca
became one of the faces of public television, the Anne Igartiburu of the late 1990s. She even struck a chord with Ramón García!
And from there to stardom for many, many years.
She left television for the radio and returned to her medium at the hands of
Pablo Motos
, who made her a permanent collaborator of
El Hormiguero
.
A collaborator who, like almost all those exhibited in
El Hormiguero,
received criticism day in and day out.
Until Monday, February 1, on Monday at
Pablo Motos, she
decided (how clever she is!) That she had to be her substitute, that she couldn't be another, and she gave her the opportunity that they should have given her long before.
Now
Nuria Roca
is a star again, now Juan del Val, her husband, is no longer just Juan del Val, but is once again the husband of
Nuria Roca.
But it is that
Nuria Roca
has never stopped being a star.
She has such a talent for communicating and presenting that it is only necessary to see the interviews of the last 10 days to remember who she was and who
Nuria Roca is
.
While asking the same questions that
Pablo Motos
would probably have asked
if he had been in charge of
El Hormiguero
,
Nuria Roca
has given
El Hormiguero
another life
, another way of approaching it, a new way that has led him to receive unanimous applause not only from the public and the audience, but from
Pablo Motos himself
.
The night of the interview with
Susanna Griso, it
was a real pleasure to see the two sitting face to face as if there were no cameras, as if it were the conversation of two friends having coffee in times of a pandemic.
It's called naturalness, simplicity and, above all, humility, a humility that now seems more than necessary in
El Hormiguero
.
There has not been a night in these 10 days that
Nuria Roca
has not thanked the
El Hormiguero
team, the entire team, without forgetting anyone, the opportunity to be there and the facilities that have been provided so that the "brown" dropped off as affordable as possible.
And not only that, but the way to deal with it.
Someone else in his place would have sat down and believed the last Coca Cola in the desert,
Nuria Roca
, no.
Nuria Roca
has thrown herself all these days giving a lesson in modesty that has impressively connected with the public.
Perhaps that is what
El Hormiguero
lacked
or, perhaps, it is that
Nuria Roca
must be given what was always hers.
Yes, he has his
Road Trip
, which works great, but what he has achieved in 10 days in
El Hormiguero
is a feat that deserves much more than a few praises.
El Hormiguero
is
Pablo Motos
and
Pablo Motos
is
El Hormiguero
, but
Nuria Roca
has to be where she deserves, where the public wants her, be it
El Hormiguero
or somewhere else.
