On Thursday, March 27, 2025, the popular Spanish television show 'La Revuelta' experienced a notable absence as Grison, a beloved member of the cast, was missing from the set. His place was temporarily taken by Sergio Bezos, who entertained the audience with some beatboxing and even performed the Spanish national anthem. This wasn’t the first time Grison had missed a show; back in October of the previous year, he was late due to rain while returning from a gig in Vigo. The host, David Broncano, reassured viewers that Grison would arrive shortly, though he did not provide specific details about the reason for the absence this time.
Despite the unexpected change, the episode proceeded smoothly. Jorge Ponce, another regular on the show, connected live from the streets to engage with the public on various topics, including scams. During one such interaction, an 88-year-old woman named María captured the audience's heart with her humor, declaring, "Behind a wobble comes a good ruckus, and behind a good ruckus comes a good shake." Her quick wit earned her a warm ovation from the audience gathered at the Teatro Príncipe, showcasing the unpredictable charm that 'La Revuelta' is known for.
'La Revuelta' has become a significant player in the Spanish television landscape, often competing directly with the long-standing favorite 'El Hormiguero' in audience ratings. The show has gained traction since its debut, with Broncano’s unique hosting style winning over viewers who were previously unfamiliar with him. His ability to navigate tricky situations and engage with guests and the audience alike has made him a standout figure in the media.
One of the defining features of 'La Revuelta' is its approach to guest appearances. Unlike 'El Hormiguero', where guests are announced in advance, Broncano keeps the audience in suspense until the guests appear on stage. This strategy encourages viewers to tune in regardless of who is scheduled to appear, enhancing the show's appeal.
In a recent episode, a humorous incident involving a woman named Adela highlighted the show's spontaneous nature. Adela claimed to have nine grandchildren, but it was later revealed by one of the friends accompanying her that only one of them was her actual grandchild, while the others were merely friends of his. This revelation left both Broncano and Bezos in disbelief, with Broncano exclaiming, "I feel bad sending Adela, who is 80 years old, to the bidet; there she goes, breaking her back..." The light-hearted banter and unexpected twists are what keep audiences coming back for more.
On the same day, actor Karra Elejalde visited 'La Revuelta' to promote his new film, 'Tierra de nadie', which premiered on March 28. Upon entering the studio, Elejalde noted Grison's absence and humorously inquired about the explanation for it. Broncano informed him that it was due to a "production issue" and that Grison would be back on Monday. However, Elejalde revealed that he had spoken to Grison, who was feeling upset, adding a layer of intrigue to the situation.
During the episode, Elejalde also shared a light-hearted moment by showing his bank account balance, which stood at €4,589.87. This candidness resonated with the audience, showcasing the relaxed and humorous atmosphere that 'La Revuelta' fosters.
As the week came to a close, the show featured a special performance by Elvis Crespo, who sang his hit song "Suavemente" to a standing ovation from the audience. This musical highlight further emphasized the show's commitment to entertainment and engagement, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode.
In recent discussions, Jorge Ponce addressed a serious issue when he commented on graffiti that appeared at a mosque in Esquivias, Toledo, featuring swastikas and racist slogans. The local government condemned these acts, emphasizing that such behavior has no place in a diverse and respectful community. Ponce's humorous take on the poorly drawn swastikas, suggesting they resembled a "labyrinth or a home renovation plan," demonstrated the show’s balance of light-heartedness and social commentary.
Additionally, on March 26, Belén Benito, the director of operations at Canal Isabel II, surprised Broncano with a special gift: a bottle of water from Madrid. The playful exchange highlighted Broncano's well-known affection for Madrid's water, which he humorously wasted, prompting a mock protest from Benito. The banter around the quality of water in Spain showcased the show's ability to mix humor with local pride.
As 'La Revuelta' continues to rise in popularity, it remains clear that the chemistry between Broncano, his guests, and the audience is a key ingredient to its success. With each episode, the show not only entertains but also fosters a sense of community among viewers, making it a staple in Spanish television. The combination of spontaneous humor, engaging segments, and heartfelt moments keeps audiences tuned in, eager for what surprises the next episode will bring.
