La Revuelta, the talk show hosted by David Broncano, is making waves with its exciting lineup and adaptations to accommodate major television events. This past Tuesday, the show began at 23:20 instead of its usual 21:40 time slot due to the highly anticipated Copa del Rey semifinal between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid.
The week kicked off with Broncano stepping back onto the stage after recovering the lead in its time slot against rivals. The show welcomed back actor Fernando Tejero, who turned out to be both memorable and humorous. Tejero, marking his return after seven years, humorously referenced their previous awkward encounter by wearing a shirt saying, "I am Broncano's worst guest." This line brought laughter and camaraderie as Broncano recalled, "I honestly didn't have a very good time, and then you said on a show I had been your worst guest."
The fun didn't stop there. The two embraced their past misunderstandings, with Broncano offering heartfelt apologies about their previous interview awkwardness. “I apologize, more than for saying it with you once to feel the conversation and not having been able to fix it,” he admitted. After sharing moments filled with jokes and warmth, including Tejero bringing in a birthday cake adorned with both their faces, viewers were left with the impression of reconciliation.
But the show wasn’t just about resolving old tensions. David Broncano introduced rising star Leanna García, the trailblazing Spanish bobsleigh competitor, adding excitement to the lineup. García, born to Spanish parents and raised in Canada, shared her inspiring story of breaking barriers as the first woman to represent Spain at the Winter Olympics, aiming to compete in Milano Cortina 2026. Carlos, the magic man from the show, joined them on screen to add levity and even asked children not to sleep during the special broadcast.
García's debut representing Spain during the upcoming competition scheduled for March 8-9 was met with enthusiasm from both the host and audience. Broncano expressed disbelief at how far García had come and jokingly mused, “I don’t know how we've arrived at this.”
La Revuelta accomplished impressive ratings for its episode. Last week, the show achieved 13.7% share, surpassing Pablo Motos’ El Hormiguero, which received 13.3%. The program also garnered attention with the musical appearances of Argentine rock band Ratones Paranoicos. The band, known for their deep roots influenced by The Rolling Stones, was set to perform as part of their tour "Última ceremonia 2025," capturing audiences with the nostalgia of their music since their debut.
The engagement with varied talents served to highlight the diversity of the show and its ambition to shift the dynamics of Spanish late-night television. Even amid tough competition, La Revuelta's unique mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and celebration of outstanding performers has earned it notoriety and the admiration of audiences. This mix of guests, from the comedic narrative of Tejero to the inspiring journeys of García and the lively performance from Ratones Paranoicos, ensures viewers keep tuning in.
With all of this, La Revuelta continues its aim to not only entertain but also build connections with its audience by showcasing relatable human stories amid the fun. The program’s ability to navigate through competitive programming, especially on nights housing significant events like the Copa del Rey, marks its determination to hold ground on Spanish television.
