Don Francisco Says Adios

don franciscoMario Kreutzberger, host of Univision’s pioneering variety show Sábado Gigante, will soon hang up his act. After months of rumors that Kreutzberger, known as Don Francisco on the show, was ready to retire, Univision made an official announcement last week. According to Multichannel.com, the audience for the show, which premiered with Univision in 1968, frequently drops under 1 million. The Los Angeles Times noted that viewership among 18-to-35-year-olds, viewership plunged by 43 percent. And, with an increasingly fragmented Hispanic audience, the old-style, Spanish-language show was past-due for a refresh. According to the LA Times article, “When people think of Univision, they also think of ‘Sábado Gigante,’” said Lia Silkworth, managing director of Tapestry, part of advertising firm SMG Multicultural. Maybe that’s not such a good thing, as Univision prepares for an IPO. Sniffed Aura Bogado in The Guardian, “Latinos outgrew Sábado Gigante’s racism and misogyny long before it ended.”
