> English-language speakers in the U.S. have SNL to look forward to every weekend, but Spanish-language speakers had Sábado Gigante. The variety series hosted by Don Francisco entertained Hispanic audiences for almost 30 years, going off the air in 2015 after a 29-year run.
> “I thank SNL for bringing back memories of our Sábado Gigante, which was not only a great television program, but was also very important as a meeting point for the family and our Hispanic community,” Don Francisco replied on Instagram. “Thanks to the public, we closed our story almost 10 years ago, but we still feel the affection and respect for what we were able to build together.”
> In a second message, Don Francisco added in Spanish, “Special thanks to Marcello Hernández for his acting. Notable.”
That sketch was fucking terrible
I used to watch it every Saturday night in college. I don’t speak a word of Spanish. I still don’t. But Sofia Verara was on it. No idea what they were saying. But it was fun to watch
As someone that grew up watching that as a kid I think the sketch was an amazing ode to it and Don Francisco
Growing up with Sábado Gigante in the zeitgeist of my Chilean community, I felt giddy when I watched this and it almost felt like it was made “for me” in a way. Loved it; It felt like the perfect blend of mockery and tribute.
Grande Don Corleone 🍻
Marcelo nailed it. This had to be his idea too. He was loving it.
Can’t believe it ended 9 years ago
