For this journalist, "intruder" television, his passion would be "directing documentaries", confesses to Chronicle. But you have to live and TV gives you to live . For this reason, and although television is not his natural environment, thanks to Zapeando -La Sexta-, he gets every afternoon to tear off more than a smile and to tear them away, in addition, from the subjects to which very few know how to get grace. And please, nobody forget their shirts ...

"The truth is that I am not a comedian," he says with no hair on his tongue, and tells the truth. This vallecano - and a lot of honor - is actually a journalist who came to television by chance, practically unintentionally, but getting, as he acknowledges, to take a place while others lost it. "Absolute intrusion," he calls it. Can you be clearer?

Neither comedian, nor comedian, nor television character ... presenter, journalist announcer and author, yes, and not in that order. The beginnings of Peinado were linked to sports journalism. In fact, he is still closely linked to him collaborating with Gigantes del Basket magazine, where he has been for two decades now. First Spanish to collaborate with the American basketball magazine Slam, Eurosport, Esquire, Líbero, NBA Generation, a collaborator in A Vivid that are two days , EL MUNDO, creator and presenter of Radio Gaga -one of his greatest hits-, Legends (DMax ) ... And the comic? For when he wanted to arrive .

What does a comedian do on television? The truth is that I am not a comedian. It is true that comedians are in high demand on television, but at the same time, seeing how the thing is with comedy and with the reactions when you pass a slightly diffused line, what they do is play it and get into a very fat brown. very fat brown, but that for Quique Peinado is very necessary. He is not funny, but he makes humor because he thinks it is natural, although he is very shy, and because he believes reliably that "comedy saves you when you are in the worst situation."

Laughing at everything and getting humor out of everything is his maxim and that's why he's not a comedian, but a journalist who does what he does, he does it with humor . Of course, nothing of white humor, simple or familiar; Quique Peinado's humor is the humor that has emerged from time to time in response to a time of too many convulsions. It's irony, sneer, satire, criticism ...

How do you get to television? He was a journalist and was working on a scriptwriter radio show. I had a TV section and Zapeando came out . I did the casting and they caught me. I didn't have a comic career, I didn't have any previous training in bars or monologues and I don't have a comic spirit either. I am a kind of journalist with a comic approach to life. In me it is natural. Outside of television I am less outgoing, but what comes out to me, comes out naturally. I am more a journalist than I have a comic approach.

A funny and funny journalist, but who also shoots - and almost always right - where he wants. He does not care to place the target in his comments in Zapeando how to put the target from social networks, where he has been involved in more than one battle . Some have emerged victorious and others not so much. However, if Quique Peinado has something, it is that he will not shut up or shut up. Memorable was that confrontation between the journalist and the community manager of the former president of the Community of Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes , after an article published in EL MUNDO in which she criticized the Cifuentes network team for charging against the then mayor of Madrid , Manuela Carmena, for going on vacation while the then president of Madrid stayed working.

«Apart from perpetuating that Spanish topic that the one who works the most hours is the one who does the best, and that leads us to be the least efficient labor country on the planet, hiding that much manic" very left-wing is Carmena, but well that take vacations. " From the level of that legendary head of Intereconomy: "The Great Wyoming, defender of the workers, will go two months on vacation" ». The response was swift and for hours they both engaged in a war of blows on social networks in which Quique Peinado had the last word . They rarely shut up.

Cifuentes, Vox, the PP, machismo, Albert Rivera, Pedro Sánchez and anyone who, for the journalist "with a comic spirit", deserves a tobita with humor. However, Quique Peinado knows that humor has its risks . Any comment you make on Zapeando or especially on Twitter receives an answer and is not always friendly. His satirical and sarcastic humor is not everyone's taste. The attacks are the order of the day and he lives with them until they touch him where it hurts the most, like that time that after making a comment about his son the target of criticism was his little one. It is the risk of freedom of expression, which he defends: «What limits are you going to set? The Criminal Code . From there it is very complicated ».

Television characters as scathing as Quique Peinado can be, but they also receive. Maybe that's why Peinado gets disinhibited from, let's call it, the unpleasantness of television with programs and projects that move away from Zapeando or sarcastic criticism. This is the case of Radio Gaga , which he presents with Manuel Burque at # 0, and that last year he won an Ondas Award. Two friends who tour Spain in a motorhome and when they arrive at their destination they turn it into a radio studio where people tell their story in exchange for songs. Television that listens, that humanizes and excites. A different television, the one he likes .

A memory that marked him in his beginnings on television. The memory I have, and I'm not going to give it names, is to be in my place with people who had been on TV for years, people much better than me, who have seen them succeed and have a good time, and see that I was still there and they do not. Absolute Intrusism To go out to do something wild and think that they were going to kick me out and not throw me out. What has been the most fun thing about television this year? What I live in now very freaked out and that I don't stop consuming are documentary series . I think that is what I would have always liked to do and what I consume. I love the golden age of the documentary, it fascinates me. Never in my life have I consumed so much audiovisual. It is the perfect genre, with which I feel most identified. Why is humor necessary on television? It is necessary in all facets of life. Without comedy we don't go anywhere. Comedy saves you when you're in the worst situation. That is why it bothers me very much that what comedians say is given more gravity. Humor degreases us. Comedy is essential in life, on TV, to relax from the daily dramas, the punctual drama ... Calm down because the moment you laugh everything changes. That is why I am so angry that it is so serious when its function is the opposite. So ... do we have to put limits on humor or do we need more humor? When you say something in any field if you go to audiences that are millionaires or audiences with which your message is out of control, it is very difficult that it does not outrage anyone. The problem with comedy is that it is done in a code that the receiver does not have to handle and is frustrated because he does not handle it. A limitation of humor would be, as Javier Cansado (Faemino and Tired) says, the Criminal Code. You can not do comedy to hurt or to hurt, but what I think is that in this type of messages it is impossible that there is no one who is not indignant. Those who say that "it's not comedy" is because they don't understand it as comedy. It is very difficult to set limits because you are not going to prevent people from becoming indignant. The audiences are massive (TV, internet, networks). What limits are you going to put? The Criminal Code, and from there it is very complicated. If a genius granted three wishes, what would they be ... Sleeping nine hours in a row, having enough to live without working and that the people you want to be good health.Choose a character ... what joke would you tell him? He would choose Pablo Casado and tell him a joke about people who have their families buried in a gutter, and would tell him super funny, but with those people in front. Let's see if he laughs like when he said that the lefts "are thinking all day about the grandfather's war" and see if he has the limit of comedy. If he didn't dedicate himself to this, what would he do? .A tip for these troubled times We have to learn to limit ambition. Ambition is a positive thing, but it is what is loading the world. Learn to limit expectations or that the objectives we have are not made at the cost of someone suffering. If we all applied it we would live quieter.

A joke to ...

Pablo Casado

I would tell one about people who have their family buried in gutters, but in front of them.
